“Working at McDonald’s is like riding a bike, except the bike is on fire everything is on fire you are on fire” is what I saw on a shirt once, and this one “You don’t have to be crazy to work at McDonald’s they will train you”, both of these are very true to working at McDonald’s. However, it can still be very fun to work there. But just like any job its half and half. For one thing, most of the people who work there I also went or go to school now with. So, I’m friends with most of the people…

If a law firm had a dress code requiring women in receptionist and secretarial…

On top of having good products, La Sabrosita has lots of friendly workers who also try to make people feel comfortable in the store. Having services that help the community comes in handy. The services that La Sabrosita offers are very difficult…

The Swan at Edgewater Park – Essay Response In The Swan at Edgewater Park, Schwartz uses a swan as a fascinating extended metaphor in a way very rarely seen in poetry. It continues through the entire poem, tumbling and reflective, calling light to a life half sad, half hopeful. The characters, too, are a motley mix of qualities, forlorn and shabby but also graceful. The poem is complicated, both in meaning and structure, and I ended up with several varied interpretations. There are threads of…
