Savage discusses the “transition of the national mall” and several monuments in this piece and the opinions that others have had about them. Savage begins the chapter of “Conscience of a Nation” by discussing the national mall and the rise of memorials being built. With such a large space and a wide platform to broadcast a national message, it would have been a wasted to do nothing with the space, He said “The mall designers had a vast space of national…

friend Betsy calling to make plans for the mall tomorrow. “Yes, the mall would be the perfect place to find a job!” I thought to myself. Throughout the night, I slept with extreme excitement as I dreamt of what having a job would be like. The next day, I woke up with an abundant amount of energy as I prepared myself for the grand job hunt. We applied to almost every store while walking through the hectic mall but as we were leaving the mall we noticed we forgot to apply to one place…

The Shopping Experience Walking into a beach dock themed store with wooden like floors. Casually wandering into the girl’s side of the store hoping I don't blow my money on all the clothes I fall in love with. The big screens with videos of the beach making me wish it could be warm enough outside to go, which helps the store sell more clothes since its soon to be spring. On the left would be the dresses and tops hanging on clothes racks and on the other side would be the more casual shirts…

Ever noticed how quickly time fly’s by? A single day retains only twenty-four hours; ones individual life is contrived up of these single seconds, hours, and minutes. Before it’s even realized that time has passed. How that time was spent is inconsequential. I realized that no matter how that time was used; that day will come to a halt. When it ends there is a series of questions you can ask yourself. In my opinion there is one question that trumps the others. Did I have a positive effect on the…

“Cathy, that was nice of Heather to tell us about the new store, the prices are wonderful,” Betty said, exiting, the new CMC Department store, with her friend loaded with packages. “I grabbed a few items and could’ve spent the entire day in there. Could you imagine Louise shopping in there?” Cathy grinned sheepishly. “I’m afraid not, it just isn’t classy enough,” Betty answered with sarcasm. “We always have fun together. Take care and I’ll call later,” Cathy said, going to her car. “Call…

Downtown Locker Room and Macy’s are my two favorite stores. That’s because they have everything I’m looking for. In Downtown Locker Room you have your casual clothes like sportswear, hats EST. But, with Macy’s you have your business clothes for work. Although Macy’s and Downtown locker room are both great stores, they differ in prices, advertising, and products. First, when it comes to Downtown Locker Room and Macy’s they differ in prices. For example, when it comes to shoes Downtown Locker Room…

Yeah, my mom, since I didn 't have any friends, (mostly because I pushed them away) this was the only company I ever got at the stores and malls. We had bought a few things while I tried to push away all the thoughts of others. God what a whore. Look at all that makeup. I had heard one girl say. Whore was probably the worst word that I heard about myself. I mean I was just trying to fit in…

The traffic and chilly wind doesn’t look to discourage people from coming out to City Creek Mall. I took a seat near the fountain where everyone seems enthrall to. The millennial music playing in the background, combined with traffic honks booming in consumer’s ears. The wind caressing the trees, whispering melodies in our ears, and the leaves bid farewell to its mother. The sun parted way with the sky early today, leaving only gloomy clouds greeting the city. I sit behind a group of young…

As the clock ticks, I wait anxiously for it to hit 3:23 P.M. All I could think about was football practice. My first game is tomorrow and I am overwhelmed with excitement. Forgetting to pay attention in class the teacher calls on me saying “Sabin, what does the m stand for in y=mx+b?”, me being clueless I look at my notes. Being lucky, another student answers saying “m is slope”. As the bell rings, the teacher comes up to me saying “Next time pay attention instead of looking at the clock, time…

In the article, Can Money Buy You Happiness?, written by Amie M. Gordon, she explains whether or not money can really buy you happiness. She starts out the article by bringing us into her mind as she goes to buy some new shoes at the mall. As she is pulling into the parking lot she notices that the parking lot is overcrowded, and she wonders to herself if people had read an article going over the benefits of spending money on experiences rather than material goods. She believes that the spending…
