Headlands Coffee House: A Narrative Analysis
The short man raced across the street barely avoiding traffic as he rushed to get to the grocery store before it closed.
The tribe knelt in a trance around the fire listening to the beat of the ceremonial drums.
Headlands Coffeehouse was packed full of people trying to listen to the band above the buzz of conversation that filled the room.
The lone hiker collapsed on to the grass of the pristine mountain meadow as the birds sang around him.
When the girl stepped thru the doors she inhaled the aromas wafting from the kitchen, she could not wait to dig in to a plate of her mom's lasagna.

This quote discusses the the immortality of thoughts and ideas. Unlike most tangible objects in our world, which will slowly degrade over time, people's

    For my ethnographic study I chose to examine the life at Moe’s restaurant located one block from my home and where I used to work. The main focus of my study is to compare the norms of the employees when the manager is there and when he is gone. As defined in Sociology: A Brief Introduction, by John J Macionis, a norm is “an established standard of behavior maintained by a society”. How does the employees’ behavior change when the manager is there watching them compared to when she leaves someone else in charge while she is gone. Although the norms of the employees are the main focus of this paper, so are hierarchy and gender roles also play huge roles at Moe’s.…

    This quote is about living in the present, not focusing too much on the past or the future. I often struggle with being content in the moment, and I am always looking forward to my next goal, next trip, next adventure. I want to be more present in the moment, noticing the little things like the life in the desert or the stars in the sky, as this quote says. I want to be able to be present as a teacher, appreciating the little ways I am inspired by what my students do, say, and write. I want to be able to appreciate and acknowledge the little acts of empathy, compassion, and kindness I witness in my students, rather than just look forward to summer vacation.…

    We could not go outside until six because the warriors of the tribe had to get the fire going, so until then the people congregated while I settled with the idea of all of us sharing the same blood of our ancestors. Once we were outside there sat the magodadamuk, which is what we call the native sweat lodge in my tribe’s language. It was made of old military tarps and next to the lodge sat the fire. The fire was surrounded by stones from the shores of Lake Michigan. To begin, the first part of the ritual is called the water ceremony. During the water ceremony we are praying to what my people call the “Great Spirit”. We all line up before the fire and are blessed with sage. Sage is wafted from our feet to our heads and then in front of our faces as a blessing. We need to be in our purest and most vulnerable state before entering the lodge. This means releasing our bad thoughts and bringing only good thoughts into the sacred…

    Furthermore, The constant abuse and misuse of stimulants and enhancements, just to get through a day shows how humans prefer to run from issues, rather than deal with them. Each of these problems contributes to the constant decline in mankind’s efforts towards a much more harmonious world and instead creates a region of terrorized and weak minded children. This trend has been present since the 1930’s when Albert Einstein created that quote previously mentioned. He accurately predicted future outcomes based of the world's progression. The fact that the quote still has some meaning shows that society has not progressed as far as expected and that no matter how advanced technology gets it is still as weak minded as it was 70 years ago.…

    Voltaire, an Enlightenment philosopher known for his intelligence and wit, once said “No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking”. My interpretation of this quote can be explained as follows: although a predicament may seem perpetual, the solution will be unveiled by using persistent, yet intellectual thinking. According to philosophybasics.com, Voltaire was ridiculed as a child because of his own passion for writing, but displayed this practice throughout his own lifestyle as he flourished into a prolific writer and philosopher. Exhibition of his personal quote allowed diverse insights not only from his audience in the past, but also today.…

    When asked the question about memories, his opinion was to not erase memories. He said “It depends if you are a pessimist or an optimist. Because I am an optimist, although my difficult memories are painful, I can say that I have learned from them.
