Descriptive writing on a busy Airport
There 's always that early morning rush and panic when you think you’re all set to go on holiday. You check you have packed everything and that the young children are settled and securely strapped in to their seats. As you drive away from the house your mind is going over a list of belongings you have packed when you realize you 've forgotten something. Luckily you’re only a few minutes down the road so your dad turns round and drives back. Of course there is always one person who has forgotten to go to the toilet and comes back in the house with you as you hurried collect whatever you 've forgotten.

After all that hastle you’re back in the car and driving to the airport. Your younger siblings get bored easily and ask every five minutes whether we 're there yet; of course you are getting annoyed with them and on the edge of an argument, when your mother relieves the situation by playing a game like looking out for different animals in fields. That keeps them quiet for a hour or so!

Once within the grounds of the airport, the first struggle is to find a parking spot. Most spaces are already taken and drivers are left battling to get the next available spot.

Everyone soon clambers out the stuffed car and stretches their arms and legs which have often gone stiff or numb from the journey. The younger siblings rush off with their father to get a trolley for the luggage while the eldest child and their mother start unloading heavy luggage out of the car.

Eventually all the luggage is hauled out of the car and on to the trolley and the whole family stroll towards the airport.

Often when you step inside an airport in the holiday season you wished you never arrived and turn back to leave but your parents are always there to pull you back in. The noise of people talking rises bit by bit to a point that you find it hard to concentrate and hear the person you’re talking to. Queues are normally agonisingly long and young children get impatient and bored and

    She went back to bed after locking the doors and turning off the lights. When Jennie was awoken a second time, it was because she heard a large noise, sounding like something had fallen onto the roof. She looked at the clock, seeing that it was around 1:30am and then smelt smoke. After waking up her husband George, she shouted out into the hallway, telling her children to leave the house, carrying her baby outside. Along with the baby, three of her other children had made it out of the house, until George and Jennie noticed that the five children who had stayed up late that night, hadn't made it out of the house. When George went back to get the children from the room, the fire was too strong and he could not get into the house. He then went to grab his ladder to see if he could climb into their bedroom…

    There are no expectations from anyone, that’s including myself. I feel more relaxed, and I am able to let my guard down. There are even times when I use this time to prepare for my interaction with my family. This term is known as backstage, Goffman describes it as “the place which we rehearse and prepare for our performances.” (Goffman, page 105). I prepare myself for upcoming moments with my family. Every Wednesday my youngest brother and I attend youth church service, and for me, this has become a big performance. This normal day for others is one that we cherish every week, it has become an evening for us to connect and bond. He enjoys discussing what troubles he’s going through, or even just ask advice on things as simple as taking a test. The region normally takes place in my car on the drive home after church, about a twenty-five-minute-long drive, we sit and appreciate that quality time together. Little does he know that I prepare for this day, most Wednesday I try to get schedule off work that way I am at the house to pick him up, and throughout the day at my own home, I prepare. I always look up interesting topics, or just scroll through his Snapchat to see what event took place that day that he would want to talk about or even to know what events to not talk about. When it comes to being a big sister, I never want to hold a conversation or do anything with my siblings just because. I want those moments to be intentional, I want my siblings to know their big sister is always here for them no matter when or what time of day it may…

    Truck was packed to the brim with bags of clothes, necessities and sluggish children who had not quite realized we were finally leaving for our week long vacation. The drive was long and tedious and thankfully we had left in the middle of the starry night so that the children could sleep most of the way. The ride was quiet and peaceful until the morning sun brightened up the truck and the children woke from their slumber. Then the adventure began.…

    Once inside security at the Las Vegas International Airport, one can watch the excited people getting ready to take that once in a lifetime trip. There is a continuous hum of happy chatter, luggage wheels softly rolling across the floor, and cell phones ringing. It’s late in the afternoon, which is a prime time to get through airport security. The lines are short and the TSA agents are proudly dressed wearing their newly dry cleaned cobalt blue uniforms. A meticulously sewn on patch with our Nation’s flag and a magnificent eagle catches my eye, displaying a proud workforce and a dutiful employee. Each uniform displays a shining gold badge that catches the light and the black cords from the walkie talkies hangs close by. There aren’t many people and the TSA agents are standing tall and are eager and delighted to help the next traveler safely pass through security. A mother and her child are happily placing their items in the taupe rubber-maid bin getting ready to slide it down the black conveyor belt as an important looking business man casually waits behind them. The little boy was obviously dressed to see someone special and proudly sports an army green jacket and a blue and red striped shirt underneath, his pants are clean but you can tell they have been worn dozens of times and he has spent much time on his knees probably playing with his precious red race car he is now happily placing in the container which is now passing through the airport scanner. After obediently placing his items in the bin the little boy slowly but obviously thrilled walks through the big airport scanner grinning at the TSA agent ahead of him. He suddenly jumps enthusiastically as the scanner beeps and promptly turns around and his mom and the well-dressed business man both laugh and admire his energy. His mother starts examining his pockets for any stowaway metal objects. The escapee was found and the boy tries his chance with the big scanner again. This time he successfully makes it…
