Public transport

In “An Orange Line Train to Ballston” is written in third person omniscient. The symbolic significance is that the subway lines are orange and blue, Washington, D.C., and both trains will take Marvella “Velle” where she needs to go in the city. Marvella is the protagonist, a single woman with three children to support, “Marvin (oldest), Marcus, and Avis,” (105). Her mornings are spent on the “Stadium-Armory sub-way platform” (105), taking her children to school before heading to work, at “C&P Telephone

M… is for memories: bad and good. For August 30th, 2014. . . A day that changed all of our lives. A day that we won’t forget what we lost, but we won’t forget what we gained. Together, we came came together as class, community, and family to persevere through such a hard time. Our unity made times like Blue, White, and Gold Night, Prom, Winter Ball, nights that we will never forget. L.. is for light. For the times that you saw the light at the end of the tunnel when you felt trapped. For the time

The social norm that I decided to violate fits more into a category of society's unspoken norms. Most people would agree that when riding public transportation you do not sit next to somebody else unless there are no other seats available. Therefore, I decided that during this past week I would sit next to people on the bus and max, even if there were many more seats available. This usually worked better in the mornings on my way to class, for most buses were pretty empty. For the past couple of

Underground Railroad: Henry Box Brown "How do you do gentlemen. What a relief to finally get out of this contraption. You know, I was in there for hours. To keep busy, I reassured myself that the long hours in the box would be worth it when I became a free man. It is so nice to see some kind faces after the horrors of the south. I feel like I've been wronged. I can finally take a breath of fresh air now that I am free of the box and free of the shackles of slavery. Being stuffed in a box was easy

The bus bumps over the pothole as it turns out of the back parking lot of the carefully manicured Midtown Tech property and onto the congested, poorly maintained New York street, weaving deftly and dangerously through the dense, rush hour traffic. The bus carries ten high schoolers, a teacher, and the bus driver. It doesn’t take long for the bus to dead stop on their upcoming journey through Midtown and through Queens, and then deeper into Long Island for the team’s second decathlon meet this season

Three: Church Mice Fifteen minutes later, Anna and Willy stepped back outside into the chilly night air and hopped up into the police car. The long ride was cramped, and the children felt restless. When they finally arrived at Miss Muller's Anna grabbed their bag off the seat and took hold of her brother's hand. Together the two trudged off through the crunchy grass towards a tall tenement. Once they had reached number seventeen and stood on the steps the squeaky screen door twanged open. And Miss

Since moving to Orillia back last September, I have wanted to drive on my own to Barrie and just walk around the Georgian Mall just to prove my self that I can drive on the high way and I can go any where if I try. When this assignment came about I knew right away that I would choose the “Day of Nonconformity” because going to Barrie is something I want to do for myself and not for anyone else. I choose to go on a Friday because that was the best time for me to go because I have no classes that day

For this assignment I decided to do my observations on public transportation. I ride the public bus for about 2 to 3 hours every day, except Saturday, from my house to school and vice versa. My method of transportation is the Orange County Transportation Authority (O.C.T.A). The first bus route I take in the morning is route 43 - which travels through Harbor Boulevard starting at 19th & Newport in Costa Mesa all the way to North Court in Fullerton. The second bus route I take is route 26 - which

I loved riding on the Knight bus it was amazing and wonderful. It was great to see how the Muggles don't see this great big bus just zooming through cars and towns. I also find it great that witches and wizards can use the Knigh bus to go to Hogwarts after the holidays instead of using Floo powder and Apparation. i also find it interesting how the bus has charms on the inside and on the outside and how at night instead of chairs there are beds. I love how it goes extremely fast and how it just

We all had to be at the school by three in the morning. Everyone had to get their luggage and marching uniform checked before going to the bus. After a photo shoot, we all scrambled on to the bus. After the bus driver told us the rules, the bus started up and began leaving the school. Just about everyone slept the rest of the night until morning. Once we woke up, the bus stopped. Bus drivers are required to stop the bus every four hours. We got off the bus and got ourselves some breakfast. Most
