Introduction- The East Bay area is an economically diverse community with many satisfactory and unsatisfactory aspects. Each city had its differences and distinctions in people, settings, and cleanliness. As the bus left the station and went around the corner I could tell that we were in a low poverty city. With loose trash and debris in front of houses and apartment buildings, the area looked torn down and not very visual pleasing. Already familiar with the city of Emeryville I knew to expect a more upscale location. With plenty of name brand stores, and new apartment complexes, it was obvious this city was clean and very different from the previous location. As the bus

When the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, the lives of the men and women in America were forever changed. After the attack, the United States got involved in World War II. Because millions of men were drafted or volunteered to help fight in the war, it left the women to take care of the home front; as they were now the main providers of their families. With the men’s vacated, employment opportunities opened up for the women left and 6.5 million women entered the workforce (145). Women who traditionally held household roles, such as mothers and wives were now sustaining the economy, by fulfilling the industrial and agricultural labor demands that the war created. In addition to becoming the main providers, women were also dealing with America’s struggling economy. Regular luxuries such as gas, food, and

The Ride is the story of the heinous and gruesome murder of ten year old, Jeffrey Curley, a case that is familiar to many in the Massachusetts area. The book works its way from the grisly crime to the years afterward. It focuses on the family of Jeffrey, heavily weighted on the life of Cambridge Firefighter Bob Curley, Jeffrey’s father. Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, both from Jeffrey’s neighborhood were convicted of the murder. Within this essay I will demonstrate from The Ride the relationship between reporting and suffering that may have been brought on for the crime victims of this case, the relationship between the victim profiles and the victim family profiles, the role in which the family may have played in the

During my ride along with Officer McNairy of the Castle Rock Police department we had two cases of harassment, one welfare case, and one traffic violation that we worked on. Both harassment cases were easy enough, as was the traffic violation which we let go with just a warning. Welfare cases don’t normally go to police officers to manage, but on the day of my ride along one was. I had a very good time during my ride along and will probably do more in the future.

“Kylee it’s time to get up!” Mom yelled as she was finishing getting ready. “We need to go to the airport!” It was in the moment I was so excited it was finally time, after waiting all those years to go to Las Vegas! I jumped out of bed unlike most mornings and my heart was filled with joy! I hurried to get ready and threw my bags in the car. We rushed to the the kennel to drop off my dog. I was really sad I hate leaving my dog at the kennel by herself. It makes me feel like a bad person, I wish we could bring her with us. I remembered that I was going to Las Vegas it made me feel alot happier. Then my family and I started heading to Cedar Rapids. We got to the airport then parked our car. I walked in smelling all of the delicious food! I went to get breakfast and took a seat a little anxiously mostly because the only time I flew was when I went to Florida when I was 8. Until I heard, “142 flight to Las Vegas is boarding now.” I jumped clear out of my seat and rushed to the doors that were slowly opening to board the plane. I was sitting on the airplane watching my favorite movie “The Proposal” laughing all the way there. The lady announced on the speaker “All passengers please fasten your seat belts we are about to land in about 5 minutes. I was excited but I was scared for the landing my ears were popping in and out and as soon as I hit the ground I bounced out of my seat. After we landed I screamed, I was in Las Vegas! There were so many people there you wouldn't believe it. We went to grab our bags from the huge baggage claim and look for our limo driver. When we found her she greeted us and we took a picture in front of the limo. That was one of the best experiences of my life. I felt so happy and excited. I felt like a celebrity.

Typical, it is 7:31 am Monday morning and I am running late. Knowing it will take approximately twenty minutes for me to make it to 8:00 am lecture on time, I grab my book bag hastily lock my apartment door and fly down the slightly stained cement stairs. In less than sixty-seconds, I miraculously made it from the third to the first floor without falling. I congratulate myself and hop in my old reliable dusty gray, 2011 Toyota. At last, I arrive to campus just in time to park in the closest lot near the School of Nursing building making it to my first lecture of the day with ten minutes to spare. This seems like a small and normal morning routine for some, for others who do not have

My journey the day I left my home country in search of a better life was not as pleasurable or exciting as I expected. Although it was not a long flight, the accumulation of unexpected vicissitudes during the trip made my dream of traveling an absolute nightmare. Not only my sadness to be leaving my family behind, the uncertainty to fly alone and for the first time, or my inexperience with the procedures at the airport contributed to this calamity, but even my neighbor on the plane added his bit of sand in the affair. All this situation was such traumatic to me that I even considered never daring to fly again.
