“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”(30) This is a lesson that Atticus Finch, from Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, emphasized to his children, teaching them to view the world from another’s perspective before judging them. Atticus displays this quality of human tolerance towards his neighbors although he could have strong reasons to dislike them. He also familiarizes his children with this

mood and the message we like to convey out there. Over time I have come up with my own fashion and styling rules; these have changed to reflect changes in my age and taste obviously, but there are still a few things that I consider key and definitely non-negotiable if you want to walk past that crowd standing in front of your local pub. One of my favourite distractions is to sit on a terrace and watch people walk by; I love catching little details and unusual fashion pieces, but I also love counting

It was late at night before I was finally put to rest. I was looking forward to a good night rest before morning came again and I was put back on for another long days walk. I was tucked all snug and warm in my humans closet. It was dark and cozy but I knew I would not get to rest for long. I was woken up by the sounds of feet walking by and then a light was turned on. I went through this routine day after day, so I knew what to expect. I was not wrong. There were several other pairs that lay beside

I LOVE red shoes! One time my uncle had a pair of red Nikes that made me just druel. He said he would give them to me for $100 because they don't fit him anymore, but at that time I never had $100, then he told me if I wanted the shoes I would have to work for him.

First, feed the pigs, and that includes getting a 40 pound bag of Pig Pellets and putting a bag in each stall

to get home to my bed. I usually get off work at midnight but was held over as usual, and much longer than I had planned to be. I looked at my watch, it read 2:50am. I had just a few more blocks and I could crawl into bed, “I said to myself.” As I approached my apartment door I saw a silhouette of a person standing at the corner of the parking lot. Thinking to myself, “Why in the world would someone be out this late?” I couldn’t make out who it was, so I went inside. I took my shoes off and changed

This lady who was digging in the trash was also a shoemaker, but how could that be when she was wearing the ugliest shoes, with the most holes he had ever seen in them?

To combine my love for soccer and the ocean, I decided to create soccer on water. To do this, I can design shoes to make it possible to walk on water. A type of shoe that can hold any weight and could be turned on or off with just the push of a button. It’s basically soccer, but instead of getting knocked down and landing on the hard ground or turf, imagine diving straight into the water. The shoe can be adjusted in size and taken anywhere, whenever you want. Water soccer could be the perfect game

John Updike “A & P” We were asked in class to write a short paper after being asked the question, “What is the most intriguing or interesting piece we have read, and why?” My response to this question was John Updike’s “A & P”. “A & P” was not the best or even the most interesting piece that I have read. However, out of all of the stories that I have read for this class, “A & P” left me with the most questions. Some of the questions that I asked myself after reading this story were, “What
