She turned to her aunt and asked why they were heading towards Las Vegas and her aunt replied” We’re not going to yosemite today.” Toni said, “why not tia?” “We’re going to take the long way and go to St. George for a couple of days.” Toni replied “Oh.” Vero said “We’re going to go visit your tio’s aunt and uncle.” “Oh cool and they live in St. George?” “yes.” she replied. They went along their way their first a stop in Las Vegas. They stopped at “best buffet” in all of Las Vegas. In Toni’s opinion that was not the best buffet. She has had way better. All the different aroma of sushi and fish made Toni want to gag. At the buffet they had exatic foods from all over the world but they also had the basics such as mac n cheese, mini sliders, and pizza. Then they left and they were on their way to St. george. About 4 hours later they finally got to Chris’ aunt and uncle's’ house. Toni politely went up to them and greeted them and said “Hello my name is Toni and im Chris’ niece and i will be staying with you the next couple of days.” They

Kate bursts into tears. She tells Flannery that she was going to give her mother her Christmas present on the guitar as she wipes the tear away from her eyes. Flannery just stands, dumbfounded. Finally she shrugs, telling Kate that Ellis can just use the guitar she will be getting from her father. Kate thanks Flannery and asks her to join her while she strings popcorn. To her surprise Flannery accepts and the two walk to the kitchen to where the popcorn and strip was set up. Just as Kate sits down she hears the doorbell. It's the UPS man.

After graduating from high school Taylor decided to leave her hometown. Her car breaks down in the Great Plains of Oklahoma. Exhausted she stops at a bar for some coffee. When Taylor leaves for the car a woman follows her out of the bar and follows her towards her car carrying a something wrapped in a blanket.

Is there any coffee left?” Ernest asked, holding up his cup. “Sure,” Don said and filled it. “I don’t know if you knew it, but once Butch healed, he was the sweetest dog, I have ever seen. He lived in our home for years until we gave him to my nephew for his son.” Ernest smiled and said, “I never knew that. It was funny at the time you scared the hell out of me when you told me you gave no one discounts. If anybody asked for one that you charged them double.” “I remember the expression on your face was priceless.” “It surprised me when you told me, your name was Don and to never call you doctor again.” Ernest said, "It sure didn’t take you long to decide you wanted the sick animals, and I could have the healthy ones until we found homes for them. Was that your original plan?” “Oh, no, when I saw you with the injured dog, I knew at once, we could work together, and the stories around town about you were bullshit,” he said, as the phone rang. “Dr. Kelley, my I help you,” answering the phone, he said. “What’s wrong with Fluffy today?” “Sure, I’ll come by after work. It will not be necessary to bring Fluffy to the

I open it and jump a little when I see an elderly woman with a teenager. The woman is holding a plate of muffins and the boy is holding some flowers. “Hello.” They say in sync. “Welcome to the neighborhood, I’m Edna, and this is my grandson Ethan” The boys brushes the bangs out of his eyes and extends his hand, which I shake politely. “Maybe we could hang out sometime.” Ethan said staring at the ground. Edna smacked the back of his head. “C’mon Ethan. She just moved here. Help the poor girl unpack!” She said demandingly. I had no clue what to do so I just led him inside. He helped me unpack my boxes and put my clothes away. We hooked up my television set and watched Judge Judy for

After Harper’s arrival, the two began decorating the living and kitchen spaces with mixed furniture and knickknacks from the Hertel district (Queenseyes, 2007) giving it an authentic home-like vibe. Addie’s house is a two-bedroom, modern Victorian-style townhouse. The exterior, painted burgundy, with white trimmings around the roof and windows, has a small accented porch in the front of the house. The home can almost mirror that of the houses on Trinity Place, that according to LaChiasa (2002), is a narrowly hidden and overlooked area of Allentown whose quaint, Victorian inspired variances remain missed by those who are unaware of its existence.

The clean, low mileage, comfortable riding red truck that my father once drove has become, over the years, a scratched, dented, and rough riding daily driver that my brother and I can barely fit in the back of. Red Roy, as we like to call it, is a 1996 maroon red Toyota T100 with nearly 300,000 miles on it. Surprisingly, this old truck has never had any serious problems. My father would not trade his truck for anything due to the sentimental value that it holds in our family. My dad purchased it, and everyone in the family has driven and ridden in it. The value of a man’s truck after so many years only increases no matter the actual value of it.

An 80,000 pound commercial or owner operator truck can cause a lot of harm when it rolls away untended. Such accidents have demolished the sides of buildings, killed bystanders, and caused traffic accidents when rigs roll into busy highways. The potential for harm is even greater for trucks hauling hazardous materials.

An hour after the moving van parked in the driveway of 406 Clybourne street in Clybourne Park the younger family waved at the van when it slowly moved away and they went inside when the van was out of view. The family worked together to put away their belongings and they stood hand and hand and they took a breath of fresh air. Beneatha went first to her room to put away her stuff then Ruth and Walter went next and Travis left to go hunt for his new room. They all left until Mama was left there alone looking out the big window. Mama gingerly stepped to the window and put her plant down smiling in thought. When the door bell rung she jumped and went to the door. At the door was a white woman and when the door opened and saw mama she flinched and said “Hello, I’m your neighbor it’s nice to meet you.” She said “I’m Susan it’s nice to meet you.” She said this slowly, deliberately like she’s talking to a foreign person and Susan put out her hand and mama did not reach for it her face was just a blank stare. Then after a while mama stammered “h-hello I’m Lena Younger its very nice to meet you.” And she reached out and shook Susan’s hand and Susan quickly took it away. Then she said “Well I just came to say,” Susan took mama’s shirt and pulled her face so close to mama’s that their noses were touching. “stay out of our way, we will stay out of your way if you stay out of ours.” She shoved mama into their brand new house and slammed the door so hard that

By the time that everyone got out of the house and into the car

As he neared the donut shop he noticed just the slightest bit of movement on the far corner of the seemingly dead store, then he saw them, Kevin, Rose and Amanda and he knew exactly how all of them would get out of this junkyard. He immediately called to them to come over. They were hesitant to but they did slowly make their way to him. As they introduced themselves he told them about how he wanted to leave. Kevin was a very tall masculine
