Class activity 4 was very interesting and kind of difficult. We had to hear a list of words and then try to write down the words that we just heard down. Out of all the words that were told to us I was only able to recall eight of them. While I was being told the the list of words I was very quickly repeating them trying to remember them.

Everyone is hot and sweaty as a beaming ray of sun hits our skin. We all have shorts, a tank top, a hat, and a pinning on. I stare at everybody and see them slouched over and eyes drooping like a beagles ears. My sneaker softly touch the concrete ground of the parking lot football field.

As a person ties their boots, they start by pulling their laces and tightening their boot, around their foot. Before going around each hook, they pull the laces tight, maker the boot tighter and tighter all the way up. Once all the hooks have been laced, you finish by tying a bow at the top to keep the boot snug all the way down to the top of the foot. A relationship is similar to this, it starts off loose at the beginning, but with time, as the laces are pulled, the two become closer and closer…
