“Are you seriously wearing that sweater?” your roommate asks as she eyes you slipping the soft gray materials onto your arms. You glance up at her with a confused face. You look between her and the sweater multiple times before finally saying something. “What’s wrong with the sweater?” You ask. “Um besides the fact that you found it in the middle of the quad when we were walking back from the party last week?” she questions, her hands on her hips as she narrows her eyes at you. You had been walking through the quad late friday night and happened to notice the sweater, neatly folded on a bench. The material was so soft, it made you want to bury yourself in it. So you took it back to the dorm and hoped it didn’t have a stain on it that you …show more content…
“Look how soft it is.” You hands begin to caress the soft fluffy material. “Come touch it,” You held the sweater out for her to feel, only to have her face contort into a look of disgust. “I’m not touching that. It could be bug-infested. Who know’s who wore that and what they did with it!” her shrill voice echoes throughout the your dorm room. “Y/N, you have to get rid of that sweater.” “It’s not infested with bugs,” you argue. You roll your eyes at her. “Besides I washed it,” You explain. You finally slip the gray sweater over your head. “We’re gonna be late if I change now anyways.” Your roommate bites her bottom lip, thinking of another argument. She heaves out a sigh and rolls her eyes, “Fine. But I still think it’s weird to just find a sweater and decide to keep it.” She walks out the door as you follow her into the hallway. “It’s a nice sweater! It’s comfy and warm,” you wrap your arms around yourself to emphasize the …show more content…
Have you even gone a day without that sweater?” You roommate comments. “Seriously, you should toss that thing out.” You look up from the book you were reading as you were laying in bed. “You’re just jealous because you don’t have one. You’re jealous of my sweater paws,” You respond as you stick your tongue out at her. She throws the quickest thing she can grab, which just happens to be an eraser, at you. “Hey!” you yell as you put your hand up to block it. “I’m gonna burn that thing when you 're sleeping,” she declares. “Too bad I sleep in it.” “Well you don 't shower in it.” She rummages through the bookcase and pulls out a stack of about three books. “Are you going anywhere anytime soon?” she asks as she places the books on her desk. “Uh no, I’m just gonna lay around for a few hours,” you answer. “I borrowed this books from this guy in my literature class. He needs them back but I got called in for a shift at work, so he’s gonna come by and pick them up after his class,” she explains as she changes into her work uniform. “You don’t mind giving it to him when he gets here, right?” “Nah, it’s cool.” You answer as you wave her off. You roll over onto your stomach as you dive back into your
Annie glares up at me and proceeds to stitch with frenzy, staring straight ahead, not bothering to look down at her work. Noticing her long, irregular stitches I point to her oversight and say, “Why Annie, I think your needle has gone off on its own.”

Being judged on your appearance by our peers is a scary thought; especially for kids. In his short story, “The Hockey Sweater”, Roch Carrier affirms that “it’s not what you put on your back that matters, it’s what you put inside your head” (Carrier 5). Carrier believes this because people will start being more concerned with others opinions, causing an under-developed self-identity, and creates more closed-minded people. Carrier’s story is about an experience he had at the age of ten years old, where his mother notices he grew out of his hockey sweater and decided to order a new Montreal Canadiens sweater but instead he received a Toronto Maple Leaf’s sweater and was treated differently by others. This short story is especially important during

Fabrics can be made of natural and synthetic materials. Natural fabrics, like cotton (NY Fashion Center) for example, are found here on earth while synthetic fabrics are manmade (MV Styles). There are many distinguish ways to determine if a fabric is natural or synthetic. Each fabric is different in its own way due to it reaction to heat, its odor, residue and chemicals (MV Styles). Fabrics are seen and used every day and in every way. Synthetic material has been pushed more into the picture because it much easier to make and the cheapest to buy. Synthetic materials are sometimes made form fossil fuels like coal. Cotton and Broadcloth are natural fabrics; Polyester is synthetic and Flannel in a synthetic blend with cotton. Fabrics are made up of fibers which have their own chemical structure, which determines their classification. Polymers make up the fibers (Ball-Deslich and Funkhouser). Since cotton is natural, it comes from a natural cellulose fiber with the polymer of glucose (Cotton). Polyester is synthetic which can be classified as saturated or u...
...e greatest prank in our school’s history. And she stopped Mrs. DeCostia from stealing from Mrs. Redrik” Then he took my hand and led me down the hall, past all of my friends, to the stairs. I stopped. “What was that for?” “I was just giving credit where credit was due.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a rather large ring. “You knew the whole time?!?” “Yeah when we and Matt moved the desk it fell out and I picked it up, I was waiting to give it back until DeCostia got busted.” “Oh my god…” “Anyway, what are we doing tonight? Movies, ice-cream, maybe some pizza?” “We’re hanging out tonight?” “Yeah I have to hang out with my girlfriend to celebrate the undermining of our psycho home wrecking teacher.” “Your girlfriend?” “Yeah...” He said into my hair as he put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him “Who else would I hang with tonight?”

Privacy is extremely important to have in your life and it helps keep you sane! That’s why I am so unbelievably thankful that the bedroom doors in my apartment have locks on them for our own privacy. I have three roommates, so including me, that’s makes for four girls in one tiny apartment space constantly seeing each other every single day. Don’t get me wrong, I love my roommates with all my heart! But, sometimes, you just got to get the heck away from them! Sometimes roommates drive you up a wall, and that has happened many times throughout my first year of living with them. That’s why I love my warm, cozy, and remote bedroom that happens to contain a lock. Insert the heart eyes. My roommates don’t have a key, so there’s no way of them getting in; isn’t that just lovely? Now, I’m no antisocial person who hates hanging out with their roommates. In fact, I hang out with them all the time, and I consider them to be my best friends! But, you know, sometimes you just need that space away from them in order to stay…mentally stable (for lack of better words, of course). Also, my roommates like to be
Many dog owners who dress their dogs in coats have noticed, that their dog doesn’t like going outside when it rains. So we have to consider that raincoats not for good looking or fashionable. It is about protection, safety, and the ability to face the bad condition of weather and it is also a kind of mercy.
