to observe other teenagers. I quickly noticed two teenage boys around the age of 17 and 18 sitting on a table with drinks from one of the restaurants. One of them was an African American and the other Spanish American. Both of them had their skateboards next to them. They were talking mainly about the tricks they want to try. 7:15 PM Setting: I am still in the food court. The two teenage boys got up and walked in the movie theater next to the food court. I spotted a group of three…

Bathrooms and showers are present, but parking spots are not numerous.…

Brock is an African American male of average height and average weight. He has light brown hair and dark brown eyes. During his birth, I had to have an emergency caesarean as he was in fetal distress. When he was born, the Apgar score was between a seven and an eight. My partner and I chose to only breastfeed Brock. We also used disposable diapers. When Brock was three months old, we had to switch him from breast milk to formula due to digestive problems. From the moment Brock was born, I…

this ‘alternative space’ that they had developed. He claims performances were also “fun-done in situations not unlike informal rock concerts”. Graham evidently brought out this playful or ‘fun’ aspect in his pavilion structures, for example in his Skateboard Pavilion (1989), Children’s Pavilion (1988–93), Heart Pavillion (1991) or the Funhouse for the Children of Saint-Janslein(1997–99), all of which reflect a sort of playfulness in that they interact with their environment and their audience;…

The Game As I approached the football field for practice I heard someone call out, “Yo Austin.” I looked back to see one of my teammates. “What’s up Logan?” I said. “Ready for the big game this Sunday?” “No not really I have been sleepless all week because of it.” “You’ll be fine Austin just review the plays the coach taught us and you’ll do great.” “That’s the problem I make mistakes whenever I’m nervous about games like these.” “Don’t be foolish, I’ve seen what you can do, all you have to…

In the novels Unbroken and Catcher in the Rye, everyday life is bettered by having a goal as seen through the…

Canterbury Tales Satire Essay THE PROLOGUE: “ Will you two be quiet and stop mumbling about how popular you are I have a real story about brains and brawn that will surely top any of the nonsense you're talking about. No one will care about how many tackles you got in about 10 minuets and no one cares about how your dad shut down your credit card this month!

That One Feeling of A Lifetime There I stood fearfully, amongst my peers who were two to four years older than me. I did not know where I sat, and I’m surrounded by strangers. It was the first day of marching band. I man up to the problem, and ask another tuba player where I sat, she pointed with a smile. I put my stuff down, and with the equal beats of a wood block, this senior in the band says let's get set. I have no idea what any of that means. I am feeling self conscious, nervous, and…

response would not be in my favor. Though we do own a dachshund, Rusty, I have always wanted a dog I could call my own. I have always wanted that “best friend” type of relationship with a dog. Waking up in the morning to walk my dog or to ride my skateboard around with sounded perfect to me, and boy was I right. I have asked my parents several, more than that, times to get a new dog. Their answer always involved me not being able…
