Stop Calling Me

His alarm sounded at 5:30am and the shrill sound echoed off the walls of the sparsely furnished apartment. He rolled out of bed and trudged towards the kitchen, the cold linoleum floor feeling uncomfortable under his bare feet. The man wasn’t what you would call good looking. He was slightly overweight with greasy, unkempt hair. His face was round with uneven stubble and little cuts around his jaw and chin. His eyes looked mean and glassy, adding to his…

formerly industrial town broken down and composed almost entirely of brick, unlike more modern or developed towns. The dam over the river is a large landmark, and is surrounding by closed buildings on the shores that look exactly like it. What struck me most about looking at those buildings was that they were businesses, not homes. In my home state of California that the most luxurious real estate for homes is on the bank of any river or shore of any ocean or lake. I would never find a large…

I was working at the retirement home one day after school when my girlfriend, Mary Hunt, and my only other friend, Joe Luke, came to visit me. We are all freshman in high school and we also are all in foster care. I got put into foster care when I was two years old, the only thing that I remember of my parents is of a trip we took to Alaska before they gave me up. My friends and I are now trying to figure out who will wake up first from their naps, it is a game we play. We are all…

Introduction: This report is an observational summary of the Landlord and Tenant Board in Mississauga Ontario, located at 3 Robert Speck Parkway suite 520. The office was on a main route and had a bus stop nearby. Despite the available public transportation, the location might have been inconvenient for those who had to travel far, especially considering that there are only 4 Landlord and Tenant Boards in the greater Toronto area (GTA). In addition, to the long travel, the cost of commuting…

We all have a calling and a purpose in life, and mine became evident to me when I read the book, Mistaken Identity. This book is about a girl who was involved in a serious car accident and suffered serious injuries, including head trauma. Part of the book focused on the demanding therapy she underwent, to be able to carry out tasks we all take for granted, such as simply writing her name with the occupational therapist. This part of the book inspired my interest and I felt this overpowering…

Being in a job which required me to communicate with the other worker in English which is not my first language was a mixture of an interesting, difficult, and challenging experience. Writing emails, shift turnover reports, monthly reports, weekly reports, and answering phone calls were some examples of tasks that we had to do using English in our work. Using Arabic was extremely forbidden, especially in emails. We had to work hard to improve our skills in English because the management would…

The Jeep car is important to me because it was the first car that I grew fond of, at the age of six. That’s when everything changed and I finally knew what I wanted to become when I grow up, an automotive mechanic. Now currently I am in the automotive shop at PCTI and learning to be the best of the best. Basically, everyone that knows me, are aware that I’m in love with cars and no one can change my mind about it. I’m also very known for my tallness, which i used in my everyday life to help…

The integrating stage, to me, is more for people who are deeply in love. Although a lot of things turned into ours instead of mine they were not as significant as cars and apartments. People of the older age are more serious in relationships rather than younger people who are just…

his wife. It took about three weeks for me to even fill comfortable sleeping in my own home. I became so jumpy and paranoid getting in and out my car until I just had to tell myself, enough is enough. I was no longer going to let some women make me afraid to live in my own home. It’s not like Michael had a key or anything. I stop by the health food store today and picked up some miso paste, portabella mushrooms, spring onions, shrimp, and seaweed to make me one of my favorite soups. This…

In Raymond Carver’s “Little Things” he shows us the struggles we deal with in life. The symbol of the baby, which can be taken literally or figuratively depending on the reader. His use of simple vocabulary makes it easy to read and understand. The details make it easy for the reader to relate to the characters in the story. Some people will read “Little Things” and pick out every detail and analyze it trying to find the true meaning behind his words. However, I believe he wrote this story in…
