Passing Strange

chilly evening in Southern Virginia many years ago. There was the old man whose beards were glazed by the winter’s frost, as he hopelessly waited for a ride across the river. Due to the frigid north wind, his body was numb and stiff. Edward, who was passing by saw this desperate old man, who looked so confused and helpless. He asked the old man, “what are you doing here at this late hour?" The freezing man answered, “I am waiting for a ride to take me home.” Edward took some time with the old man, as

I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang Response Paper #8 I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang is a film directed by Mervyn LeRoy, from 1932. The film is about a soldier, James Allen, who returns home from WWI with the aspiration to be an engineer. Unfortunately, his family wanted him to return to his prewar job, working at a factory. James decides to travel around the United States looking for a job and gets mixed up with the wrong person, which lands him on a chain gang. Throughout the film, various

Ralph’s main concern was survival and order amongst the group, along with that came food and most importantly a signal fire big enough for passing boats to notice. One major quote from the book showing Ralph’s leadership came early on, “They obeyed the summons of the conch, partly because Ralph blew it, and he was big enough to be a link with the adult world of authority.”(Golding 50) This quote

I was sitting in psychology class, it was such an incredibly average day, that the entire morning of it is gone from my memory. My desk sat second in the column, the fifth and furthest row from the door. The movie Sybil wrapping up on the screen off to the side of me. We all sat in the general sleepy fog as the lights switched back on, putting the room back into normal academic mode. My eyes shot around the room, spending a second to scan all the cheesy teacher posters and quotes from Freud that

The need of short blocks is described with the example of Manhattan, where the use of long blocks segregate walking citizens and isolate people socially as well as economically. She argues that frequent streets and short blocks are more valuable since they provide cross-use of the streets. Most shops are dependant on people passing by each day

Beside our cabin was an old, dusty trail with a large amount of overgrowth. Pushing tree branches out of our way, passing by various flowers, shrubs, and trees, we made our way down the old warn down path and onto dirt road. We all assumed that road wouldn’t be used due to the fact that it was beginning to be night. However, our thoughts were proven wrong by the moderately

Students began piling in, shuffling to their seats and every chair, passing me by. I could hear everyone reconnecting, chatter echoed through the room, muttered stories of what they did this past summer. I figured, if I just sit completely still and quiet, maybe they won’t even know I’m here.

Though the green state of Virginia, I hear my sister yell “Look at the hills!” Confused, I follow my sister’s eyes, spotting a beautiful line of hills full of trees in front of us. After finding out that we’ll be passing through the hills for our journey, I feel filled with joy because I’ve always been fond of mountains and hills. As my dad navigates us high up into the hills, we spot to the side of the road to take in the magnificent view in front of us. I see the

little too easy to look over the list of habits the author discusses and silently think to myself that at one time or another I am probably guilty of each one. A few that I am most guilty of are: Passing judgement, Starting with NO, BUT, HOWEVER, Failing to give proper recognition, Not listening, and Passing the buck (Goldsmith, 2007). Though I may not portray all of these bad habits on a daily basis, it’s the fact that I have exhibited them at some point in the past that is toxic to my leadership skills
