The Location Of My Office Building

The sniper reached into his pocket. He pulled out a knife. Small and silver but extremely sharp. He didn’t think. The sniper stabbed his mother, right into her back. Hearing his mother screaming and watching

On a Saturday afternoon, March 25, 1911, a fire started on the top floors of a factory in New York, The Asch Building owned by the Triangle Waist Company. According to the owners, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris were practicing a common procedure in many factories to prevent workers from taking extra breaks and preventing theft. They locked the exit doors. These owners, weren’t held accountable for the deaths of the 146 employees. Numerous workers could not escape from the eighth, ninth and tenth floors. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris would go to trial for their actions of ignoring poor work conditions against “the people.” But this was a time when there was more greed with many factory owners. Owners were not being proactive in making their

Most people don’t know where it is. Most people have never seen it. Most people have never even heard of it. Despite this, the William B. Travis Building in Austin, Texas is where American history is made. Correction, this is where the events and memories of the present and near past get wedged into America’s long-term cultural memory or slip into oblivion. Since Texas buys or distributes 48 million textbooks annually, educational publishers tailor their products to fit the standards adopted by the Lone Star State. This makes the Texas state board of education, which is housed in the William B. Travis Building, the most influential state board of education in America. Every year this board draws national attention when it meets to adopt or reject proposed changes to the social studies curriculum, which are guidelines that will affect children across America for the next 10 years. In 2010, the most fiercely debated proposal was bringing Christianity into the coverage of American history. More specifically bringing the Christian “truth” about America’s founding into public schools. However, this debate has been going on since the early nineteenth century. People have always questioned how to reconcile the idea of America as a Christian nation with that of America as a beacon for religious freedom. To answer this question for ourselves, we must understand religious life in colonial America, religion in the Constitution and the debate surrounding Jefferson’s “Wall of Separation”

My mom stopped by Taco Bell to cheer me up. She said I could get whatever I wanted, but I did not want her to have to pay more than she should just because I was in a terrible mood. I decided to just get a chicken quesadilla because chicken quesadillas from Taco Bell are Mexican food gold. My mom had asked if I wanted a drink, and I said no and got a courtesy water cup. Bryant and Sam decided to get the same order so that they didn’t seem greedy. Moments later, I did a naive and half-minded action that would eventually teach me one of the greatest lessons I have learned in seventeen years of

Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten. The sad part about it is that many will never admit to it or acknowledge this fact. Along with the previously stated point, Sandra also talks about just how used to violence the children of Mango Street are. They don't flinch anymore when they hear sirens because they are accustomed to them. Many want to escape, but often are incapable of doing so on their own. Sally tries to escape and be her own person, yet she is shut down when no one helps her do so. As Americans it is the citizen’s duty to make this

In 2010, a homeless man named Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax, saved a woman who was being mugged. He collapsed on a Queens, N.Y. , sidewalk after the mugger stabbed him several times. The incident was captured on the surveillance camera and more than 20 people can be seen passing by as he lay bleeding to death. Tale-Yax was already dead when help finally arrived on the scene. It is sad to know that

You have already done a great deal to combat prescription drug abuse in the United States. In particular, I appreciate your push to reauthorize your bipartisan legislation, H.R. 3528, the National All Schedules Prescription Electronic Reporting (NASPER) Reauthorization Act. If that bill passes, I know it would help provide more uniform funding and access within our current system. However, given the magnitude if this epidemic, more substantial reform is necessary.

Alaina Gonville was coming home from work late at night. She stopped at a store for a bottle of papaya juice. A scrawny guy walked up, pulled out a pistol and demanded her money. His accomplices were watching from a car behind him. As it happened, Gonville was carrying her Glock .45 openly on her belt. They opened fire on her and she pulled out her gun and returned fire. She was shot with an AK-47 and it basically blew her arm off. She does not know if her carrying a gun saved her life but she was happy she had it.

“I’ve taken care of it, Anna,” I said trying to explain. “I’ve already settled almost half your debt with Southside and I have his word that the goon squad is called off.”

Please note that i offered to take her in case the school transportation could not take her. Another note, Cher was enrolled in band at the begging of the year but did not have the determination to continue. Therefore, because she was not participating with band and had nothing to do, she wanted to have dinner with a friend from the high school, but I found this not logistically possible and I was not going to be inconvenient and knock on doors at 11 pm at night, after the football game, to fill her notion. Cher also suggested that if I let her go I did not have to worry about picking her up because her friend would drop her off at my house at 11 pm in an Uber, which was putting in danger Cher and her friend. In addition, Cher suggested she be let sleep over at her friends house, but the host family already stated that they had plans the following day. In conclusion, the high school was the most logical and safest place stay, because I was at the high

While driving home on the way back from a relative 's house, a sudden flash pierces your vision. Traveling 60 miles per hour, a truck smashes into a nearby Honda. The impact causes the death of two innocent conductors who had their lives grasped from them by a 17-year-old girl who was intoxicated.

I felt like the Third Avenue bus was evil like taunting Jax and I so i came running toward the bus and while i was chasing the bus i was dodging the citizens, yelling “HEY! HEY! WAIT!”.The bus was no more the 6 feet away when the bus door folded shut, the air brakes hissed , and the long limo like car zoomed into traffic. Jax stopped short and he had enough breath to say a few words “We’ll gonna be late,”Jax Guessed.Two busses passed us and Jax said we should just wait for another bus so i said not after 2 busses and sure enough here comes another bus and he blew us off.So Jax wildly chased the bus untill he got the drivers attention. Jax and I got on the bus and said 90-7th Street as soon as possible.The bus driver zoomed into traffic and i thought i was going to have a Heart Attack and jax yelled “I'M CALLING THE COPS!!

A woman fights off an attacker while walking alone at night in Catherine Fordham’s Consommé. (Just quickly, I want to say that this film does deal with sensitive material relating to sexual harassment and sexual assault, and I don’t want this film to have a negative impact on anyone reading this review.) Consommé begins with a young woman leaving an apartment building late at night after a fight with someone. She begins walking briskly through the streets of Brooklyn. The viewer then sees this same woman slowly waking up in a brightly lit bedroom, which is what reveals that this short film will be told through a series of flashbacks. During the woman’s flashbacks to her walk the night before, the audience hears lots of loud city noises

It has also taught me how important it is to teach and help other women who aren't cautious when it comes to dangerous cultural spaces. It has also become very apparent to me how many women do not see the danger in walking alone in dangerous areas because of the recent empowerments to women or other reasons, while those are great and very revolutionary women still need to be aware that predators are still out there and they do not care if you feel empowered or not, they are are there for one reason only. And lastly I feel very lucky that I was with my friend Cheyann that night and was able to persuade her into making a better transportation choice other then the stairs, even if that meant she would have a panic
