Walking

meant something to us. She said it like it was an empty shell and that he was no longer the person I grew up loving. The person who I had watched slowly deteriorate as I grew up. All I could think of when she opened the door was how my dad went from walking, to crutches, to a wheelchair, to not being able to breath on his own. Slowly he was died in front of my…

“It Was That Moment” 4 hours in the cramped, crummy, car that smells of leather, popcorn, and…Cheez-It's, definitely Cheez-Its. We had been driving a bunch during the trip, but this was the longest road, the road home. Car sickness and headaches had been one of my enemies on the long car rides, so I was giving my brain a break from the artificial radiation of the tv and computer screen and from looking to the side to play cards with my brother which was usually the cause of my discomfort. I…

Lego land 2009 It was July 9th 2009 my 8th birthday, and at the time my life was consumed by my obsession with Lego sets, even though I was known to rage when I couldn’t figure out a difficult part. We were visiting family in California and it just so happened that it was my birthday. And my parents surprised me with a day in Lego land. As we drive up to Lego Land, about every 500 feet there is a letter made out of Legos, W-E-L-C-O-M-E, it spells. After we got our ticket to park we found…

After he let me inside, we sat on the couch for a little while and watched Spike Lee’s, Do the Right Thing. As Levi and I sat so close to one another, I felt his body heat. With the lights off and thoughts of Aunt Joyce’s nasty tape playing over and over inside of my head, all I wanted to do was the wrong thing. I really wanted to make a move, but I wasn’t sure of what to do. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give it a shot. “Hey, you never gave me a tour of your house.” “I’ll…

drove all over this hot, humid desert. In search for food, water, and most of all, shelter. As we we’re driving, the car ran out of gas. For good this time. We were trying drive to some trees we saw, but we have no more gas. Luckily, it was a short walking distance. We approached the trees then we saw something wonderful. we saw a trailer. “I can’t believe it,” Donna started, “We found somewhere to stay.” I tried opening the door, and surprisingly it was unlocked. We all got inside to…

and I got in the truck and left. As we arrived, we got our guns and flashlights and then began our journey through the woods. It was very hard to walk through the wood since it was so dark you could barely see where you're going. I would start walking and the next thing I know I get hit with a tree limb on the head. As we walked and walked we found the deep, long ditch the…

near me. Not after everything I saw. A nurse came in my hospital room with a look of panic. The nurse tried to calm me down and I told her what I saw, what my husband had done to me. She grabbed my hands and told me I was hit by a car when I was walking across the street from my car to my apartment. Steven was coming home when it happened and called 9-1-1 right away when he saw you in the street. I refused to believe it and told her over and over again that it wasn 't true. Steven got up to try…

I stood up in the grassy clearing. Hoarfrost still covered the pine trees, and I could feel the cold pulling me into its cold embrace. I blew into my hands, trying to keep warm. The first thing I noticed was a small sack, wreathed in a vague, shining glow. I bent down towards it, and a small pop-up materialized in front of my eyes. Bag (not searched) I opened the bag, and the popup vanished. Two screens appeared in front of me. On one screen, four squares. Two of them were occupied by a dagger…

the village that princesses, queens, kings or other majesty figures, always had blond hair which was a symbol of royalty, magnificence and dignity. One day, the queen, who was known for her endless generosity and had the kindness of an angel was walking in the forest surrounding the castle like every Sunday. As she was picking up flowers to create a joli bouquet to embellish her kingdom, she heard an uncommon sound not far from the path. Her curiosity lead her to a baby with eyes blue…

******************************** As society we set standards for how an individual should present themselves in any setting they may be attending. A professor named James M. Henslin (2015), explained that a norm is an expectation that we set of “right” behavior within any setting (49). A norm violation can vary in many situations from affecting a person’s hearing, sight, smell, taste, personal space or just making an individual uncomfortable. Presenting a different type of behavior that is…
