Random walk

morning of January 17, 1920, “ordinary events like taking a bottle of wine to a friend’s house, sipping a drink in public or selling a beer were now illegal from coast to coast, punishable by up to six months of jail time and a fine up to $1,000” (Blumenthal 59). Americans were still reluctant to give up their favorite drinks. It was legal to make cider and beer at home as long as no alcohol was added. Beer could even be sold if most of the alcohol if most of the alcohol content was first…

Doing Gender “Hey baby, how you doin’?” This can be a words woman appeal to, but only if it’s coming from their significant other. Most of the time women in big cities hear these statements, it’s from a complete stranger. This is scary to most of the women who have to endure this type of verbal abuse. They are unable to realize what these catcallers consider to be a compliment from a threat to their personal space and peace of mind. Men try to show their power and use catcalling as a way to…

Studies on how altruistic vigilance influence the dispersion of a population The motivations of movement through space for herbivores are different from carnivores, for example. As an outcome, the reasons behind an animal spread are numerous. Several biological factors that influence the movement include the preference towards a resource, the presence of home range or the escape from preying. There is an extensive amount of work in mathematical biology about the effects of distinct behaviours…

It was another one night stand and instead of the usually walk of shame I got a breezy UberPool ride in forty minute traffic. Rule number nine from the Hoe Chronicles, be your own ride. That night, Atlanta’s skyline shined brighter than any other night. My head hung on the rim of the window looking up just mesmerized by it. “So where are you coming from,” the driver asks over Future’s auto tuned vocals blasting from the radio. “I’m heading home that’s all that matters,” I replied. I always give…

High prices and the smell of grease are the main characteristics of this place. The long faced workers dressed in red shirts with the logo on the front and long black pants, scraped greasy pans and washed dirty dishes. The identically dressed workers also answered phones, made pizzas and helped others at the front desk. The countless number of hungry customers poured in and out of the building. I saw red all over, red floors, red pizza boxes, red uniforms, red pizza sauce and red counters. I…

You will work at your own pace and figure out what you’re most comfortable with. My motto is “face your fears, but don’t bite off more than you can chew”. If you’re scared to leave home do not take a cross country trip alone, but instead try taking walks or go to a nearby grocery store and stay as long as you can. For people who are dealing with this from a loved one, be patient and understanding. We know what we’re doing, yes we feel bad about it, but we can’t help it. You have to understand…

stared at the ground before knocking back into reality. He ten saw the comic book store shining bright in all it's glory. He entered and immediately started looking through the varieties. He basically scavenged through the piles of Marvel and Some random super heroes. "I'm gonna have to pick that up! Thanks a lot!" Gerard tensed up, feeling a pang anxiety creeping up. "Sorry, It's not my fault you applied for this job!" Gerard turned around to face an angry looking boy. The boys eyeliner…

and empty fields, carrying this heavy burden of closure upon her head leaves a ceremonial and sacred impression. Even at the end Keats has managed to make this death beautiful and stately, for it takes a long time to walk with that much weight balancing upon one’s head, and as she walks the end grows closer and closer. But even at the very end, it is not yet over. The final image compares the completion of the cycle to a person sitting “by a cyder-press, with a patient look/ Thou watchest the…

the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, written by Jamie Ford, Henry the main character displays courage even though he is scared. As stated by Lou Gehring, " Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway." For example, he walks Keiko home from school every day to the Japanese side of town where he isn't accepted and he disobeys his father in order to stand up for his own dreams. Henry also displays courage when he is older when he searches through the Panama Hotel for…
