which is not going to be interrupted by other description or interpretations unless on my conclusion. My memoir is going to hold some very important message for my readers. list of people important to my story are the stranger that I mate on the streets, the ice cream man and definitely me. The Man in the Alley I took a leap of faith and started…

His dad wanted Thomas to stay away from the streets so that way he knew that he would always be okay. “All Pappy ever wanted to do in life was distinguish himself, to be a man capable of commanding respect in a world that was madly hostile to anyone who looked like him. He didn’t keep it real; he kept his name out of the street.” (Williams 92.) Even though Thomas knew how much his dad wanted him to stay off of the streets, he was still continuing to end up there. Whenever he met a…

homeless people sleeping on pieces of card box with plastic cover in the street asking for a change. Some of them yelling insanely at random people, some are sleeping with a stress wrinkle on their face and some are just sitting there and staring. These homeless people did not choose to become homeless. These people were born to a family and lived with family before they ended up on the street. So, how did they end up by the street all-alone? What causes them to become homeless? Some of the…

Unstable, red, bumpy brick roads causing student bikers and drivers daily mayhem as they can feel every pot hole and dip in the street. Not to mention the horrendous condition of the sidewalks as well. The students of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln already have enough stress put on them to excel in classes, they should be given beautiful, safe, pot hole free sidewalks and streets to enjoy. One would think with the amount of tuition the students pay here, the university could at least…

As far as I can remember, I was living on a quiet and peaceful street in China with my other three siblings and my mom’s parents. That area was a residential area, so, it was pretty clean and quiet, not to mention my house was at the corner. The street was clean from garbage; there are a few trees on the street, and it was always calm and quiet like the countryside. I went to school every day in my grandpa’s car and played badminton after school. I really enjoyed the sceneries of the river by my…

“Last Night I Drove a Car” was written by Gregory Corso after his release from prison. He had been arrested three times and was finally beginning to turn his life around. He went through multiple jobs after getting out of prison the third time and eventually met Ginsberg who influenced his writing style. Many of his poems are about his time in jail or how that affected him and his outlook on life. The speaker of the poem is Gregory Corso. When he was a child Corso’s mom abandoned him after…

just there and think they are a criminal due to them being paranoid about what happens in the streets. A man Name Staples in “Black Men in Public Spaces” is a perfect example of being treated as a felon. Staples was a man who graduated from University of Chicago. He walked during the night and felt different just because a woman saw him and walked as fast as she can because she was paranoid. Also in the streets of Brooklyn, he sees women who strapped up their purses and forge ahead. But he…

1. I believe his competitiveness, his ability to converse easily with people, and knowing how to market his products to people were the important keys to Walton’s success. My definition of ‘rich’ is similar to Walton’s; I value the essentials in life like food, a roof over my head, and a decent education. If I can provide those to my children, then I will have succeeded in life; my life does not, and will never, revolve around money. That value is not something that I feel the greater portion of…

idea from my parents, for example, once I got my license my parents were always threatening to take away my car and they would always say “driving is not a right, it is a privilege.” I would have never thought just being able to shop or walk the streets without feeling scared could be a privilege. For example, there have been times where I have been at a store and one of the employees was following me throughout all the aisles. This shows that as a black man even if you are not doing anything,…
