Taxi Driver

Ah, Chicago, the Windy City, a famed metropolis known for its wholesome American values, deep-dish pizza, and its friendly, carefree, community. Nothing quite exemplifies the Founding Fathers’ vision of America like the Second City. Chicago is the only place where one can truly appreciate the equality and justice generations of Americans have fought to achieve. My journey began as many Chicagoans days do, to the hymn of police sirens and traffic. Slowly gliding into Chicago aboard a train, a…

The book The Westing Game was a slow book to read. In my opinion this book was very boring. The author wrote in a view of multiple groups and often in the view for a single person. The author had extra fluff that was not relevant to the story. For example, “J.J. Ford was the biggest tipper in Sunset Towers… “I saw someb-b-b…” Chris Theodorakis was too excited to stutter out the news to his brother.” (page 14) The constant switching of characters and character groups without a well written…

more than in any other country in Latin America.” This is how the author begins her article. We can already tell that she is not a fan of El Salvador, and after hearing what she had to say, I’m not either. At the airport she was picked up by a taxi driver, who shared with her his opinion on girls. He told her about his daughter and when she asked if he wanted more children, he replied “yes, but only boys. Girls are a problem.” Women in El Salvador are raped and killed every day, and they are…

The movie, The Hound of the Baskervilles, directed by David Attwood included renditions that made the feature more dramatic than the novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Both depictions are very similar, but are different in multiple ways. These differences, in my perspective, make the movie more dramatic and action filled. These traits make the movie more enjoyable to me. Attwood includes many developments that make the movie more thrilling than the novel. In my opinion, the novel Hound…

Consequently, most taxi companies will shut down. Due to significant loss of many jobs there will be more people who have to go on welfare or resort to other means to…

Out on the water I could see several boats, but one of them was particularly huge. My driver slowed the 4-wheeler and told me that it was a war ship. We turned onto another road and travelled for a while until we reached a place with massive, solid walls that were topped with jagged glass. We took a short break and my driver explained that this jail housed all of the island’s criminals. I’m not sure if he was intentionally trying to scare me, but I was…
