Ways of Seeing

The everyday social norm that my friends and I were trying to violate simply had to do with the way that people act in a general retail store.

The abusive treatment he underwent at the hands of his former mentor has left a lot of very deep wounds, not all of which have healed with the passage of time.

When they saw our demeanors change, they quickly apologized if they had offended us in any way. Once they apologized we immediately felt bad for giving off an impression as if we were afraid of them. My sister was so embarrassed that she left the aisle with her head held low. After she left, I helped them with what they needed. When I…
