Luggage

Fourteen year old me was becoming skeptical and inpatient. I was so used to thinking that something such as boarding an airplane was so fluent and easy.

he whispered to himself. He looked behind him only to see no cellar door, but his luggage. He turned and stared to see his car on the other side of the street, “What’s going on?” Samuel asked himself. He turned around once more and slowly moved his hand toward the luggage. He grabbed the handle and picked it up. He scratched his head confused. He ran across the street and opened his car door. He set the luggage down to see inside. He opened the suitcase to see his clothes, shoes, car keys,…

Officials then realized after 9/11 that not having restrictions on materials is not the best decision if they want to prevent a tragedy such as 9/11 to happen again. The most flown airlines today only allow passengers to check luggage that weighs less than or equal to fifty pounds otherwise passengers have to pay an extra fee, according to Mark Frink (Frink 86).

we wouldn’t be late for our flight. After we all woke up we all got into the cab with all our luggage and drove away to the airport. We landed at about 12:30 p.m, caught a cab and drove right away to check into heaven (our hotel) called Sheraton. In the hotel it was exactly like heaven, with four pools, a nice warm beach, three restaurants, a basketball court, and even a spa. So after we put all our luggage in our three rooms we switched to bathing suits and with no hesitation we ran to the…

thinking about using this memory box to hold his dog treats in. the box was really fun to make and sculpt because it reminded me of the time we brought Bronx home for the first time. I love that memory because all I can remember was when he came out the luggage shoot and we brought him outside and let him out the cage and he just jumped around wagging his tail all excited. It was like…

Born on November 3, 1997 in Gujarat, India, I’m the oldest on my mother’s side and the 6th oldest on my father’s side. I lived with my grandparents up till the day I had to depart for the United States of America. It was really hard for me to adjust with my family that I never lived with.

I remember this day was very important because we…

Acceptance is key, and, under no circumstances can you know what a person may hold for your future. The narrator in Raymond Carver's short story "Cathedral" was not very accepting of his wife contacting the blind man named Robert with the help of tapes. When he came to visit the couple, the narrator, known as "Bub," was shocked to find that the stereotypes of blind men, which he learned by watching movies, were all false. Carver made Bub to be blind, not physically, but to what communication can…
