Sitting

were in a gang and I felt they were associating me with the gang. I knew what really happened that day at school. I got off the bus we finally reach the school and I went into the breakfast room to see where my friends were at an I found them sitting at a table. My friends started to argue with some kid and a fight broke out. I was watching the fight I had nothing to do with the fight. I was just watching them but my friend was fighting so I was walking with them and watching the fight.…

There was only one person sitting in each booth. In the booth closest to me there was a girl with blonde hair wearing sweats, a sweatshirt, and a messy bun. She had her computer out and seemed to be composing a lengthy email to someone. It appeared to me that she had not even bought…

individual is built upon the admiration and sexual attraction from the woman. As the ad continues, the image of a man walking proudly on the street in his stylish suit while receiving attention from the girl walking pass him, and the scene of man sitting in the wheelchair spinning with his girlfriend both demonstrates a similar idea. The men in the ad all seek to attract female attention to achieve their sense of confidence, rather, sense of approval. It is the females’ attention that constitute…

pavement morphing together with the trees and bushes that stretch far beyond the side of the road. When I turn my head to look back inside of the car, I first see my mom and dad. They are holding hands and smiling as my dad is driving and my mom is sitting beside him in the passenger seat. My brother and sister occupy the two seats directly behind them,and that leaves me,the youngest, in the back seat of our pearl white suburban that has years of filth spread all over it. I didn’t have a single…

Tatanka Iyotake a principal war chief of the Lakota and Oglala Sioux better known as Sitting Bull , once said “If we must die, we die defending our rights”. This shows the strong tension between the native americans and the settlers. Throughout history the two groups created multiple treaties among each other. As gold mines were discovered, indian land was bought off by the white settlers, the indians were faced with the ultimate choice: assimilation or extermination. The age old quote, “kill or…

I have always learned better through movement than I have from just sitting in a classroom. I can only sit and pay attention for so long before I get bored. I have never been diagnosed with ADHD but I do have some of the symptoms such as inattention and hyperactivity. I like to move around a lot and I am always doing something…

Have you ever had a “conference” with your family? Sitting in the kitchen or living room and talk about important things in a family. The article I read for this assignment, “CONFAB” by Ian Frazier, talks about having a conversation about something important with children. At first, he begins his article dealing with having conversations with kids. He mentions that making time to have conversations with kids is important. The author himself once had a confab in his family and he discovered…

Kay Boyle’s Winter Night is a gloomy story in more than one way. It is about a girl name Felicia, who is basically always left home with a maid or babysitter. One odd night, she gets a sitter, or “sitting parent” (as they are referred to in this story) that is unlike the caregivers she is accustomed to meeting. The woman not only presents a depressing demeanor, but also talks to Felicia and is affectionate towards her. The girl (Felicia) is fortunate and doesn’t quite understand the sitter’s…

It was two days before the first day of school was going to start and I was stuck in Des Moines. I was with my grandma and grandpa sitting in the airport waiting for the plane to come in. The plane was supposed to leave at 8PM but right around 7:30 the loud airport speakers announced, “The flight to Phoenix, Arizona has been delayed two hours.” Now the flight won’t take off until 10 PM and we were going to miss our connecting flight. My grandma went to the gate agent with about two other groups…

Capturing emotion in art any artwork is not an easy accomplishment to achieve. It does not have to do so much of how the art work is done, but how much empathy the artist has. Empathy lets the artist understand his or her subject’s feelings and share them through art. Artist David Jon Kassan is able to see and more importantly feel the array of emotions that resonate from his subjects. Like Kassan, Alex Kanevsky is able to depict a vast amount of emotions though his art. Although these two…
