Stop Thief!
It was Christmas, the mall was pretty vivid and splashy, there were all sorts of ornaments hanging around the mall. As I moved from shop to shop, I saw beautiful new fashioned clothes, iPods, wooden antiques, decoration items and Santa of course. Different types of Christmas cards, greetings, bouquet, and box of chocolates, teddies and Santa costumes were displayed on every corner waiting to be sold out. This was my first trip to Canada and I was really enjoying the every cold chilli weather of the country. I was about to travel the following day to my uncle who had shifted there 15 years ago. And I was really very eager to see my cousins for the first time.
As I was walking through the mall when I just saw what I was waiting for, a shop decorated with fine beautiful painting perfect for a beautiful house like my uncles one, I looked at the paintings and then I looked to the money in my purse which I had been saving for 2 years I wanted to buy one for my uncle so that he says “Oh! Dear how sweet of you...!”
Suddenly, breaking into my day dreams a boy of 24 or so just like my big brother suited in a detective uniform with black hat, and black glasses, his face covered came running past me shouting “stop him, catch him don’t let him go” and tripped at my feet. I said sorry to him and gave him a hand to get up, he got up and gave me a slight push and I felt something tickle down my purse as he wiped his clothes and kept running I thought for a while that are all Canadians manner less that they run away without even saying a “Thank You”. I then just dismissed the subject and forgot about it and kept walking thinking to buy the painting I was looking forward to and some winter clothes to help me stay alive here in this cold, as I entered a shop I took the perfect jeans and some winter clothes thinking I would next buy the painting, I went happily to the counter waiting for the bill to be given to me when I got the amount I was not really shocked because that amount

    Personal Narrative: Jesus Martinez

    After several minutes of standing there alone waiting for my bus, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Naturally I pulled my phone out to look at whatever notification it could have been and to check the bus schedule. As I did this, I saw the outline of a man who appeared to almost walk past me before doing a quick turn to my front right side. Letting him take his position I made my second mistake. I quickly put away my phone into my pocket and the man began to speak. "Hey man I really need some help I have been sleeping here for a few weeks now and I really need the money to get on the train you think you could help me out with twenty bucks?" The man was dirty and made a big deal about how his shoes were all worn down but in reality they looked fine. "I would love to help but I don't carry cash on me sorry man" I said trying to dismiss the situation and get on with my day. I had other things to worry about like this test and whether or not I was going to pass. Or so I thought. The man tattoo on his face or possibly a bruise hell it could even have been dust slowly began to reach and grasp at his front pockets of his pants and then slid his hand into his hoodie and pointed something at me. "You don't…

    The Bicycle Thief: An Analysis

    I am your typical pseudo intellectual liberal, but don’t get me wrong pop culture does not turn me off. Mention the Kardashians and I won’t run away in disgust, roll my eyes, or give you the side eye. My google searches range from ‘Is twerking a good exercise?’ to ‘What is Putin’s economic/political interest in Syria?’. I don’t find Woody Allen films boring and I don’t think Sharknado is trash. I will argue with any film snob about why the entire Shrek series is more profound than de Sica’s The Bicycle Thief. As you can see I am all over the place as far as my interests, but the most is race. This topic turns off many people and perhaps you’ll read many personal statements about the struggle of being a minority in America, but my story is not that of roadblocks and discrimination but that of enlightenment. Like many of my fellow white passing Hispanics I have used my light complexion to shield myself from racism and my culture.…

    I M Not Scared Monologue Analysis

    The image of you is still painted in my mind like a canvas painting hung in an art gallery. You bought so much joy to me that day and I will always remember you because of this. Not to mention that you always lived up to your promise of coming to see me, no matter the circumstances. The sound of your voice during every visit was enough to bring a smile to my face and to cheer me up in a circumstance which this would not have been possible…

    Paris Landing State Park Narrative

    As we drive towards the cabins, the grey road twists and curves through the hills. Trees loom above and surround us, with their warm toned leaves falling and blanketing the ground beneath them. The lake nearby reflects shimmers of light through the gaps in the tree line that hit my face as I gaze out the window. As we near the cabins, their dark green roofs come into view, with their auburn, wooden siding almost blending into the woods around them. Family members in warm sweaters stand outside, some unloading their cars, while others stand in groups and catch up with the recent events in one another’s lives. We are greeted with warm arms and helping hands as we unpack our car and begin to settle in our home for the week. Our family Christmas reunion has always started this…

    Example Of Argumentative Essay On Confederation

    I woke up to the sound of cheers and rejoicing voices. Out of curiosity, I threw on my robe and ran down the stairs as fast as I could. As I opened the door, everywhere was crowded with people mafficking down the street. I tried associating with people passing by, but it was no use. I was unable to hear over the loud noises. Closing the door shut, with haste I walked towards the living room. Where I found my husband hovering over the radio. For several minutes, we waited anxiously, desperate for any answers. Finally, we were informed “ After three years of waiting, it was announced to the public outside of the building where the final conference was held. That today, we are proud to call ourselves Canadians.” I could feel the excitement rush through my body. I was jumping with glee, today is going to be a hog-killin…

The small stores are also the ones the usually carry the smaller items which are the easiest to receive the "five fingered discount" on.

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Alabama

    December 19th was the day we left Detroit to head to my aunt's house in Orlando Florida for Christmas. But before we got to Florida we made a couple pit stops on the way. The first stop was wildlife in need in Indiana. That was my birthday gift for my parents. We had tickets for the baby tiger playtime. Which was my favorite thing I've ever done. After that we headed to Nashville Tennessee which ended up being our next stop. We stayed at the Hampton inn in downtown Nashville. The next morning we explored for a few hours then meet up with my sister at their hotel. After we hung out with her for a while, we were back on the road again.

    Beowulf Descriptive Essay

    Everyone gets to the hotel Friday night and gets settled in and reacquainted a lot of hugging, kissing, laughing, and eating. My sister and I get our own hotel room so most of our cousins bring sleeping bags and stay both nights in our room. We talk about what we’ve all done that year, who’s dating who, what kind of cars we’ve bought; we pretty much talk each other’s ears off. The next morning we all get up and find somewhere to eat and walk around town. Downtown Spruce Pine is absolutely beautiful. There are flowers and pine trees growing everywhere, and you can smell all the bakeries and barbeque pits. There are little stores with antiques and instruments, florists, wedding dress shops, and candy stores. It could go from 90 degrees with the sun shining to a humid rain in a matter of minutes. When it rains you can smell it a hundred times better than in California. After we walk through town we get to a huge,…

    How To Write An Essay About Canadian Culture

    Canadian traditions also tend to be closely tied to the country’s national holidays, which we discuss in more detail in that chapter. It should likewise be acknowledged that since Canada is a country of considerable diversity born from the eclectic immigrant heritage of its people, the traditions of individual Canadian families can vary greatly based on which customs they’ve decided to import from their former homeland. If there’s one thing Canadians really love celebrating, it’s the anniversary of their own birth. In recent years, birthdays have risen to become one of the most tradition-rich spectacles of modern Canadian culture.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience In America

    On a beautiful Sunday morning, I got a call from my grandfather from America after 9 years. When my mom told me that it’s your grandfather, I ran to the yellow, old phone. When I heard the first words that my grandfather said to me, it felt so great that even words couldn’t describe it. We talked for many hours and while talking to him I realized how great, smart, and wonderful my grandfather was. Then I handed the phone to my dad because he had important things to talk about. After the call was ended, my dad told me the best news I can hear. He told me that “We are moving to America.” I was so excited that my heart was pounding super hard and felt like that my dream came true. After few months of shopping and packing, we took a long, exhausting…
