My visit to the bookstore My visit to Barnes and Noble at union square was a pleasant surprise. It took me about an hour and a half to get there by train. Opening its green rusty entrance doors lead me to a warm welcoming scene filled with smiles and air conditioning for all four floors. I was surprised by how low the prices were for the books and it the variety of categories in each category. There were floors dedicated to fiction and nonfiction. Floors even had Sections for textbooks, love novels, cookbooks, and even jokes. I was even more surprised they sold Old collectables for Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. I spent 30 min reading joke books with my friend but decided to eventually hop on the escalator that lead me to the next floor, which was filled with fictional books. I was walking around the floor and eventually stumbled upon a shelf fill with Stephen king novels. I didn't know he wrote that many books where there was enough to fill 3 shelves. I was told by a employee passing by that this author wrote around 92 books where most of them were somewhat connected like a series. It blew my mind because he wrote books about a clown eating little kids all the way to a girl with psychic power that one day snapped and decided to kill everyone, I couldn't put 2 and 2 together. …show more content…
I also decide to purchase "It" the book about a clown eating kids and I was really baffled on the overwhelming size of the 1,138 pages book. I later found out "Pet Sematary" came out with a movie in 1989.It had okay reviews but I decided to watch it any way. The movie had an eerie atmosphere and gave me chills but was also somewhat cheesy. Visiting the bookstore introduced me to whole new adventure / horror genre of books I didn't know
Killer clown, pig’s blood, children killing adults, an adventurous cat and “here’s Johnny!” can all be connected to the KING of terror and horror, Stephen King. King is one of today's most popular and best selling writers. King combines thrillers, science fiction, the paranormal and detective themes into his stories. He is mainly known for his novels, which has allowed him to do different types of writings such as movie scripts, nonfiction, autobiographies, children's books, and short stories. King's works are so powerful because he uses his experience and observations from his life and (finish)
Stephen King isn’t the best writer but he’s still a great story teller. He knows
On a day in which the sun was shining like a new fluorescent light bulb, I sat on a heated metal bench that was located in front of a large, stone fountain where a brace of ducks lingered, and I began to read Chasing Brooklyn.
The story took place in the 1930’s in a town called Maycomb, Alabama. The story is told to us by a young child in her perspective. It was during the time where racism was a big part of the word still. The story told by the child during a trail of an African American facing charges of rape of a white women. The child name is scout and her father Atticus given the trial to defend the African American name Tom Robison, but Atticus already knew how the outcome of the trial was going to be. Atticus raised his children Scout and Jem in a very different way from many different white folks raised their own. Jem and Scout get to see a different perspective of the world from their father Atticus and there black cook Calpurnia. Jem and Scout did not have a mother figure so Calpurnia took the role of being the mother figure by giving her life lesson to Scout and Jem. Jem and Scout to see the world how it is instead of seeing the black and white like most people. Atticus try’s to be honest with his children and does his best to explain things to his children that would make his children understand the situation. As a reader we see that Atticus try’s to do good for the community for the whites and blacks. He want his children to believe that tolerance of people and for the word of the bible, but to accept and forgive as well of other people way of thinking.
My work with the Freehold Public Library has been a huge part of my life, as I have volunteered there since I was 12 years old. I have grown up with the library, and my experiences with the library, whether it as a volunteer or a customer, are very important to me. I started volunteering for summer programs at the library. I then joined the Teen Library Committee and did service projects for the community as a part of it throughout the year. I also encouraged my brother and a friend to join the Teen Library Committee with me. As a part of this group, I have been able to do service projects for a wide variety of causes, such as making food for a local soup kitchen, making dog treats to donate, and making cards for those stationed overseas or in the hospital. In 8th grade, as a part of National Junior Honor Society, I wrote a grant for the library to expand their young adult collection. I spent months talking to Mrs. Kathy about the public library system and the issues that this library faces
Though my experiences 5th grade was amazing and I loved going to Biztown. It was school still, so we did have to work hard and sometimes it felt overwhelming but when I look back on it now it feels like the school year breezed by. During the beginning of the school year I was nervous because even though many people I knew would be in my class, I was worried if I would find my place. Because even though some people don’t want to say so people do have “groups”. So for the first day it’s a day to kinda give impressions. Like the teachers pet,class clown,the smart kid,and etcetera.Though the year I did eventually find my place and had made amazing friends while doing so.Although I did have my fair share of drama but it didn’t bother me as much
The mind of Stephen King is one everyone would like to explore, even if you’re not fond of him. It’s the birthplace of his iconic characters that are still relevant to this day. For example, his character, Pennywise, recently got a new movie remake. The original It came out in 1990 and it is now 2017. It has come a long way because people want more from the characters. They want more thrilling, frightening tales from the crew. Another character that is still relevant is Carrie White. Carrie was King’s first novel in 1974 and got a movie in 1976. The movie Carrie also got a remake in 2013 and was definitely a success. It seems to be a pattern to how his works make a comeback. His spine-chilling, creepy stories are what people
Up until 8th grade I lived in Cambridge, a sketchy, gilded age-like city on the outskirts of Boston. I lived in the central part of Cambridge, sandwiched in between the affluent undergrads, graduate students, and post-doc families or Harvard or MIT, where all the run down housing projects were and where police cars and ambulances screamed past every night because they had gotten yet another drug overdose dispatch.
When I was seven years old I used to live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I attended Harvest Prep Middle School. A lot of my friends talk about what I thought was a dream, The Mall of America. It was the biggest Mall in the USA. I begged my mom can we go, but it was always the same answer NO! Javaughn, We don’t have the money for that rite now! I was devastated, all my friends came to school talking about all the excitement that was there.
My family moved to Brooklyn when I was six years old. One of my earliest memories was my father taking my sisters and me to the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza. To us it was much more than a trip to the library; it was an adventure. One cannot go to the library and not visit the Botanical Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, the Soldiers and Sailor’s Arch or last and my personal favorite the Garden of Eden. At least that was what I called it at the time. It wasn’t until my recent trip did I realized it was called the Bailey Fountain... Who knew?
When thinking about a books I automatically put myself in a fantasy world. Imaging all the books characters actions and mindset. Dragging myself out of cold reality to a warm fantasy. Sweeping away all problems with every page I turn. As a child, reading to my parents would distract them from work and sports. Unfortunately that made them toss me head first into more sports and less time to disappear in fantasy world.
It was 9:00 AM on a Tuesday when I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. Yesterday afternoon my sister and I had packed everything we were going to need for our trip to Kansas City, Missouri, we were super excited about it. We were going to see our favorite band in concert for the second time that day! Once we were both wide-awake we could hardly contain our screams of excitement. We had everything planned out, the time we were going to arrive at our hotel and what we were going to do once we got there. Although, we never thought things could go so out of plan. It takes exactly 5 hours and 8 minutes from my house to Arrowhead Stadium and we left at 9:30 AM. Since the concert started at 7:00 PM we would have arrived there around 2:45 PM and
“Este por favor,” I asked in a shaky voice, motioning towards a poster laying on the ground that promoted an upcoming bullfight. It was one of my first times attempting to use Spanish in Madrid, and I was nervous that I was accidentally asking for a puppy or something else ridiculous instead of a simple souvenir.
Doctors have to start the treatment without the complete information of patient’s medical history, which sometimes, is life threatening for the patient. Technologies could be used in healthcare sector to provide better healthcare facilities and reduce the operations costs. In our country we see that there is scarcity of doctors, nurses and pharmacy. But still there is rapid growth in healthcare services, while diseases are becoming more complex. More and more new and efficient diagnostic techniques and new way of treatments are being developed and used in healthcare sector so as to provide the patients with best possible treatment and in their budget. Many healthcare organizations are providing different kind of services to cater to highly diversified economic population which in turn has resulted in competition in the market. So the organizations which do not perform well are out of business. [3][4] As healthcare providers need cost effective automating processes which gives more profits, cloud computing will provide perfect platform in the healthcare information technology space. Many hospitals may share infrastructure with large number of systems linked together. By this pooling the hospitals automatically reduce the cost and increase utilization. The resources are delivered only when they are required. This also means realtime availability of patient information for doctors, nursing staff and
Pakistan, like many international countries, contains a plethora of healthcare delivery complications when providing services to its citizens. This is immensely concerning for the international community because Pakistan is the 5th most populous country in the world, and the largest land mass in the Eastern Mediterranean. Littered with an array of different terrains, climates, and features, Pakistan’s land mass is approximate 800,000 square km. Geographically, Pakistan divides its providences into five large and one small, with an additional three territories. The providences are listed below in sizes from smallest to largest: Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakhtunkhwa, Khyber, Balochistan, Sindh, and Punjab. (see fig. 1)
