...Yessenya Wright Professor Vanschuyver 16SP English Comp 1 2/17/16 Life Unexpected On the morning of February 29, 2012 I was out shopping getting ready for my husband’s welcome home party. It had been almost a year since the last time I had seen him, you see he was deployed overseas just 1 month after our wedding so you could imagine how excited and anxious I was for him to return home. I was all done with my shopping at my favorite store Burlington when I left the store and was getting into my vehicle I heard a loud pop, it came from my stomach I really didn’t think nothing of it until the pain started getting so unbearable I couldn’t catch my breath. I had to drive all the way home which was about 10 miles it literally seemed like an hour drive. You see I had gastric bypass 10 years ago and ever since my surgery I have had some stomach issues such as ulcers and gastritis due to the surgery my stomach has become very sensitive. I finally got home and my first reaction was to lay down in bed I figured the pain would just pass must of been something I ate, it’s not unusual for me to feel sick to my stomach sometimes. Well that was the biggest mistake I could have ever made my body went into shock and I couldn’t move or call for help I was paralyzed in bed I was so scared and in pain felt like I was laying there in those conditions forever. That afternoon my husband was trying to get ahold of me and I wouldn’t answer which was rare I always answered his calls since we didn’t...

...This story today is called "A Pair of Silk Stockings." It was written by Kate Chopin Little Mrs. Sommers suddenly acquires fifteen dollars, which seems like a large amount to her. Feeling important and wealthy, she considers how to invest her money, feeling that she must carefully spend the money. During the night, she thinks of a sensible use for the money. She determines that she should spend a dollar or two extra for Janie's shoes, so that they will last longer and be of better quality, and she plans to buy some fabric for her children's clothing. After that, she will still have enough money for new stockings and hats for everyone, which pleases her because her children will have new clothing for the first time in a while. Mrs. Sommers used to have more money long ago, before her marriage, but she does not worry about the past or the future, focusing mostly on the present. Mrs. Sommers is used to cheap purchase, but today she is tired and forgets to eat lunch. While sitting on a stool to rest before her shopping, she realizes that her hand has brushed against a pair of two-dollar silk stockings. She continues to feel the splendid fabric and asks the shop girl for a pair in her size. After choosing a black pair of stockings, Mrs. Sommers buys them and goes directly to the ladies' waiting room to change. For once, she abandons thinking about responsibility or about why she is so satisfied at her purchase. She sits in the room for a while, reveling in her stockings...

...Period 2 October 26, 2012 Stepping out of comfort zone The warm summer breeze swept by bringing with it the delicious smell of hamburgers, hot dog, and chicken being grilled out in the backyard. As I ate my enormous hamburger, I sat still amazed at what I had accomplished that day. This was one of the best summer vacations I had spent with my cousin and it was one day that I would never forget. Beep! Beep! Beep! I opened my eyes and turned to look at the alarm 4:15 AM, just fivsse more minutes I told myself sleepily. “Come on wake up so you can eat something before you leave” yelled my mom from the kitchen. The morning felt cold so I put on some sweat pants and my favorite black and white long sleeve shirt. Half asleep I ate a warm, toasted, raisin bagel with a glass of milk. By 4:50, everything was packed in the car and we were ready to leave. My sisters, Patricia and Priscilla, half asleep wrapped in their blankets, walked to the car. The cold, fresh morning air hit my face as soon as I stepped out and I was suddenly wide awake. We were now on our way to Los Osos to spend the summer at my cousin Noah’s house. We entered the 10 freeway and it was completely dead, no cars were driving about it. After about an hour of driving the sun began to rise and it seemed to give life to the freeway, cars began driving onto it and before we knew it were stuck in traffic. My sisters woke up about nine so we took the next off ramp and went to nearby Denny’s to have breakfast. We all ordered...

...This is Water David Foster Wa!ace There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and “Morning, boys, how's the water?” And the two young fish swim on bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and “What the hell is water?” meet says, for a goes, If at this moment, you're worried that I plan to present myself here as the wise old fish explaining what water is to you younger fish, please don't be. I am not the wise old fish. The immediate point of the fish story is that the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are the hardest to see and talk about. Stated as an English sentence, of course, this is just a banal platitude — but the fact is that, in the day-to-day trenches of adult existence, banal platitudes can have life-or-death importance. That may sound like hyperbole, or abstract nonsense. 1 A huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded. Here's one example of the utter wrongness of something I tend to be automatically sure of: Everything in my own immediate experience supports my deep belief that I am the absolute center of the universe, the realest, most vivid and important person in existence. We rarely talk about this sort of natural, basic selfcenteredness, because it's so socially repulsive, but it's pretty much the same for all of us, deep down. It is our default-setting, hard-wired...

...I was working as a logger outside of Snowflake, Arizona at the time of the incident. The guys and I were headed home after a long work day when we saw what we saw. I would have never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would see or experience what I experienced on that day November day. I was afraid to come public with this story for a long time because I knew I would be ridiculed and laughed at, but what happened to me cannot be bottled up anymore. On the way home from work we saw a bright light hovering in the sky over a hill. We drove towards it to get closer. It was orange and reddish color. Mike stopped the truck and we all observed the object in silence and awe. I was so amazed that I felt the need to get out of the truck and closer to the object. It was so close to us at this point. The guys started freaking out and yelling, “Get back in the truck Travis!” I was right underneath this object. It was so shiny and metallic. The noises it made are difficult to describe. The sound was more like tones but not from the frequency for humans. The object seemed like it was several football fields long. Then a beam of light came from the bottom of the object and hit me. I looked at the guys and I so the horror on their faces and as I attempted to run back to the truck I realized that I couldn’t move. I was paralyzed. That’s when I started to fade in and out of consciousness. When I woke up I thought that I might be in a hospital. Then I realized that I was in some sort of...

...Elephant by Polly Clark Everybody is born with a dream or something they hope one day will come true. Nobody sits at home and think it would be cool to sit there for the rest of their life. So everybody have to work hard. Lay some vigour in life. Before it can become fun and make it into your dream, you must have done some preliminary. Many people with a dream have some kind of an idol. A person they look up to and get the inspiration or they get the inspiration from the outside when they walked around. Almost every man, women, child or baby have it that way but not William.

...would be about two hours until we arrived at our destination. I put my headphones on, and pushed play on my walkman. I woke up to mom shaking me and saying “we’re here”! It was light out, I sat up and looked around. The parking lot was full of trucks and trailers just like ours. We quickly found the registration desk and dad was given all the necessary information. We walked back to the truck; it was already warming up, not a cloud in the sky. It was going to be a hot summer day in the west! The event officially starts around 10am, but there is so much preparation involved beforehand. Dad says everything has to be “perfect”. All I remember about this prepping time is being extremely bored. I’m not allowed to wander off, get in the way, or touch anything! The best part of these day/events is listening to my dad. Even though I am young and not even sure what exactly he is talking about, I can tell he is smart and sought out. So many questions are asked of him. It seems he always has an answer. People are pointing at this and that and admiring. I don’t get what the big deal is, but it’s important to these people. He seems so happy on these days, but at the same time stressed out with all the prepping and getting things ready. Mom and I do our usual walking around, awing, pointing, liking and disliking. As a family who doesn’t get to eat out hardly ever, the trip to the concession stand for a corn dog and French fries is a true highlight of my day. The carbonated soda...

...University of Phoenix Material Traffic Modeling Figure 1 shows the intersections of five one-way streets and the number of cars that enter each intersection from both directions. For example, I1 shows that 400 cars per hour enter from the top and that 450 cars per hour enter from the left. See the Applications section in Section 6.2 of College Algebra as a reference. For this assignment, use Figure 1 to answer the questions following the figure and to prepare a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation. [pic] Figure 1. The intersections of five one-way streets The letters a, b, c, d, e, f, and g represent the number of cars moving between the intersections. To keep the traffic moving smoothly, the number of cars entering the intersection per hour must equal the number of cars leaving per hour. 1. Describe the situation. • In this traffic model the pictures illustrates that as cars go out in one direction there is a number of cars coming that are equivalent to the total number of cars going out. The traffic flows through B, C and d will remain a constant, and traffic that flows through the other intersection will change. 2. Create a system of linear equations using a, b, c, d, e, f, and g that models continually flowing traffic. 3. Solve the system of equations. Variables f and g should turn out to be independent. 4. Answer the following questions: a. List acceptable traffic flows for two different values of the independent...
