Setting: The Shoe Carnival is a retail store where this scene takes place. It is approximately 7 p.m. and one of the employee’s, Whitley is returning to work after a brief break.

Whitley:” Raymond, what’s going on?”
Raymond: “That lady just tried to steal some shoes and she got caught!”
Whitley:” Are you serious? I miss everything!
Why did I have to go on break?”
Raymond: “Ha, Ha!” (Chuckle)
(Jamie and Jessica are in the “mike stand” and Karen is on the steps.)
Jamie: “Whitley you missed it girl!”
Jessica: ”Ha Ha, we caught her and now she looks like a fool!”
Whitley: Where is she?
Karen: “She’s in the back office with the police.”
(Karen leaves and goes to the office, and Brett walks up toward us.)
Brett: “Man! I did a great job holding that big lady down!”
(Raymond over hears this conversation and comes over)
Raymond: “Brett, if I remember correctly, you were standing behind the shelf the whole time while I held the lady down.”
Brett: (Loudly) “ Dude! Whatever! I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
(Everyone laughs at both Raymond and Brett as they continue to argue)
Jessica: “Whitley that man is ready to check out”.
(Begrudgingly, Whitley slowly walked up to the register where Customer #1 was patiently waiting).
Whitley: “Hello Sir, how are you doing? Did you find everything you were looking for? Would you like any socks or shoe cleaner?”
Customer #1: “No thank you, this is fine.” Hey what’s going on?”
Whitley: “Oh nothing, this lady just tried to steal some shoes. We caught her and called the police.”
Customer #1: “That is crazy. People these days will do anything.”
(Whitley rings up the customer’s purchase and soon returns to the mike stand).

The officers began to search the apartment without a warrant. As the officers continued searching, one of them (Officer Nelson) found some expensive stereo equipment. The officer had a hunch that the equipment was stolen, so he moved the stereos to record the serial numbers. He then called police headquarters and it was confirmed that indeed the stereo equipment had been stolen. The officers then seized the stereo equipment.
At approximately 1850 hours, I approached Jackson approximately five spaces inside of the Westfield Shopping Town Blue Garage where I identified myself both verbally and with a badge as Nordstrom Loss Prevention. At this time Westfield Mall Security observed the apprehension. I then asked Jackson if he knew why I stopped him, Jackson was absolutely silent in which I asked him if he had a medical condition or if he understood my questions. Jackson shook his head ‘yes’ to asking if he understood me, I then asked Mall Security to assist me with the escort due to Jacksons strange behavior.

HALE: Well, as if she didn't know what she was going to do next. And kind of done up. (1.62-69.)
Charlie met Raymond for the first time outside Walbrook Institute, where he has been patient for twenty years. Raymond was sitting in Charlie’s car, ranting about how he is only allowed to drive the car on Saturday’s. Ray continued to ramble about random facts about the Buick Roadster that shocked Charlie. He didn’t make eye contact with Charlie during this time. Raymond never made eye contact with anyone directly. They later moved to Ray’s room, and Charlie began to examine the area. Charlie started to touch Ray’s belongings, which caused Ray to get nervous. Since he does not like others touching his possessions, Raymond nervously began to cite the “Who’s on First?” skit. He used this skit as a coping mechanism when anyone is in his personal space, or when he is in a new environment. Raymond did not understand the humor in the skit that he constantly

The crisp New Hampshire air chilled the private school students with its sickly cold fingers as it would rage by with a fury that would disappear as soon as it came. The grey skies which hovered above stole away the sun so that the warring world around them seemed all the more dismal and depressing. Despite the hanging feeling of dread the weather and World War seemed to influence, the boys themselves were almost giddy with the merry thoughts that plagued their juvenile minds. It was almost the end of the day which would give way to a freezing night where most people would prefer to sleep or stay indoors; however, that was not the case with these merry men of the winter session as they hastily prepared the scenery around them with the promise of prizes, the guarantee of games, and the silhouettes of snow statues.
Cowboy boots have been represented continuously in cultural history dating back to the 1860's. Since then an evolving american culture has shaped what cowboy boots represent, as well as our perception of what mean within culture. The perception of cowboy boots has changed since the 1860's, within the limitations and boundaries in a specific culture.Therefore I consider how have the patterns and rituals of attending/competing in rodeos become associated with the consumption of cowboy boots? How does this consumption generate an ideology? Rituals and patterns in rodeos can be associated with cowboy boots in the process of understanding that they have a similar relationship within modern culture. Both are no longer required for means of living (e.g. Cowboy boots for horseback which used to be a main source of transportation, and Rodeos as a form of income or employment) yet both still remain influential in culture today. How can a product from past culture remain so influential throughout culture today? In order to dissect cowboy boots among popular culture, I will first look at them through cultural theorists, Raymond Williams and F.R. Leavis.
The celebration of the Carnival first began in Italy before the first day of the Lent season and was later brought to Brazil by Catholic Portuguese settlers in the 18th century. The origin of Carnivals may not be Brazilian, yet even today Brazil most embodies the Carnival celebrations and spirit. There are many small festivals held throughout the year, but few claim to compare to the annual “Carnaval” in Rio de Janeiro. The celebration is only a small part of the year, but its influence on the community remains for the whole year. Carnaval is considered a time when socio-economic status disappears and communities come together. However, Carnaval also strongly impacts Brazil by providing space for individuality and celebrating individual characteristics. Indeed, Carnaval has become an opportunity for small revolts and protests by the people usually against the government. Brazilians who aren’t satisfied with social standards or laws will speak up and use Carnaval as their platform for protest. The celebration creates an atmosphere of trust and community in which people feel comfortable voicing their opinions. It has been used for feminist movements, gay right movements, as well as others. Not only is it beneficial to marginalized groups who find the opportunity to voice their frustration, Carnaval is used as an opportunity to forget and move past the brutality of life. Whether it’s death or unemployment, Carnaval activities focus on the positive aspects of life and don’t tend to dwell on the past. Brazil has become one of the happiest emerging nations because of the Carnaval. Although Carnaval appears to consist of mainly outrageous parties, it represents much more than that. Carnaval provides a public forum to ce...
