Everlasting Stories Memorials not only remind people about specific events and leaders, but also sets history in stone for future generations. When creating and building a memorial for a specific person or event, many factors should be considered. Sometimes, these memorials honor great achievement while others pay homage to deep sacrifice. However, there are many ways to memorialize people or events, locally or nationally, ranging from pictures to monuments. When considering to memorialize a person
After only a few months in the club, I received a letter in the mail from Washington D.C. It was an official invitation to the Law and CSI National Youth Leadership Forum. Beyond being ecstatic for even receiving the invitation, I was even more excited to learn that I was the only student from Central Dauphin High School nominated by the advisor It was thrilling to know that I was able to accomplish
It was a warm April day and all of the students were let out of school for the day. I went home to finish packing with the help of my parents making sure that I had everything and I wasn 't forgetting. I was excited for a week now to go on the trip to Washington D.C. with the whole 8th grade class for a week. “Are you nervous?” my mom asked me as I was zipping up the suitcase. “No, I 'm more excited than anything but its going to be different not being home every night!” I answered. “Well please
you treated last time." "Thanks" Shannon replied. Then I whipped out my shiny Gold Platinum card at 3.9%. The waiter came by with that little black waiter case thing and a couple of mints. We paid and then we left. "Say do you mind if we go by the mall real quick I just want to check a new store that’s opened up?" Shannon replied, "sure that’s cool." "I just gotta pull into the Super America for some gas." I said. "I’ll pump you pay?" Shannon said. "Sure." I responded. I dashed in to the SA and
Problems Pierre LEnfant Encountered in Building Washington D.C. Washington D.C., the capital of the United States of America, stands today as a monument to our country's unity and independence. "Its scheme of broad radiating avenues connecting significant focal points, its open spaces, and its grid pattern of streets" is credited to the genius of the French architect and engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant. However, the process of designing and building Washington was far from easy a task
First Impressions May Be Deceiving Michael Jordan For many years now, people have been fool by appearances. Someone may look at the exterior of an object and expect one thing when actually the exact opposite is waiting inside for them. For example, an unexpecting person picks off a grape from the bunch and bites into the fruit while dreaming of a mouthful of juicy, sweet grape but in reality receives a surprisingly bitter splash with the first bite. Or when a person first looks at a power vision
city and along the Potomac River, as well as the history behind each monument and building. The most impactful spots in the city were the Lincoln Memorial with the waterway in the front, the Monuments representing historic people, and the Arlington National Cemetery. One of the most memorable spots in DC was the Lincoln Memorial and straight across
Let’s get something out of the way right now: the filmmakers created Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 to make money. It is abundantly clear while watching this movie that the creators have no story to tell, no message to convey. They simply wanted to rake in some more dough (which they have, earning over $68 million domestically). Given that starting point, it should come as no surprise that Mall Cop 2 is not a good movie. But it is a good bad movie. The predictable plot has the titular officer, played once
As an example, The National World War II Memorial is a memorial to honor and remember the people who served in World War II. The success or failure of a memorial depends on how well it represents the image that people have of a certain person or event. Especially in America because they find the construction of a national monument so controversial that no memorial has been erected in the National Mall without a discussion. The National World War II Memorial on the National Mall was a poor addition;
actually published. In “Malaise of the Mall-Raised”, Brian Fawcett details the reasons for Coupland’s initial lack of success in Canada, indicating that it was the book buying public rather than the literary establishment who put Coupland on the literary map: ...the book couldn’t find a Canadian publisher, that the Globe and Mail didn’t review Generation X, or that Books in Canada...rejected [it] for having an attitude problem (Fawcett, Brian. “Malaise of the Mall-Raised” Books in Canada, Vol. 21,
“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that counts, but the life in your years.” Abraham Lincoln. A few days ago, I met up with friends that I haven’t seen in ages. As we shopped and cruised from mall to mall, we reminisced about the good old days, told each other about where we were and what we’re planning to do with life. That day, I realized how much I have accomplished in life, and how much more I aspire to do in the following years. At age nineteen, though the number of years in
for the students going home. We will need a stop sign next to the park incase kids run out in the street. This will help the protection of the kids having fun. Will need a traffic light separating the mall and the store. This will be the busiest part of the town with people going to the mall and the store. And finally there will need to be a stop sign at the end of the streets so people don’t drive to fast and get in a big accident. If this is down everyone will be safe driving, walking, or

around causing trouble and the walls are so paper thin that everyone knows every aspect your life. Here at Village at Van Mall, that couldn’t be any further from the truth. The children are confined to one area and the only time you hear from your neighbors is if you happen to run into them on your way out. The quiet community is tucked away in a hollowed out forest just off of Van Mall Drive. The towering evergreen trees provide a pleasing shade and from time to time a () rejuvenating breeze sweeps through
Olaf College wrote his article “Shopping for American Culture,” there were more malls than high schools within the United States. Malls were also generating more than 46.6 billion dollars in sales tax, which is “almost half of all state tax revenue.”1 Farrell recognizes these statements in the introduction of his article. In fact, he uses these statistics and determines that because of the population going to malls, shopping centers accurately reflect American culture. James Farrell suggests that

“I, I, don’t know,” Joe stutters, “I went to the bathroom and something just hit me, I can’t explain it.” “Oh no, Joey,” Cara said with concern, “maybe you are just hungry, the food should be here soon.” “Yeah, maybe,” Joe said as he takes a sip of water. Overcome with joy, I am tickled pink with this entertaining display. I curl up the corner of my lip as I sarcastically mock Cara, I know something you don’t know, laughing hysterically. Of course Cara can’t hear me right now, but still, this shit

people leave and things change and by the end of my employment, I would soon look back and realize it. It was a Saturday afternoon, when my friend Jalissa came over and wanted me to go to the mall with her. Jails had just gotten hired at the mall and hadn’t been on a shift since. On the car ride to the mall, she mentioned that she had gotten the job at Aeropostale and that the manager was still looking for employees. Being desperate for a job and money, I took it all in and as soon as we got to our
this situation be inside of a mall? Well some people may say that they are never bored, or they are always bored at the mall. But one’s perspective on boredom in a mall can change if one is stuck in the mall for over seven days. “No Safety in Numbers” written by Dayna Lorentz shows that being stuck in the mall can be not only boring but dangerous at the same time. The four protagonists, Shay, Marco, Ryan, and Lexi all have their own story to tell inside of the mall. On Saturday morning, a bomb was
