This story is about two friends named Joe and Sam heading to Pittsburgh from New York City. Sam took the back road instead of taking the highway to Pittsburgh.

I believe Walmart is a very successful company from a business standpoint. The company is the world's third largest public corporation list in 2012, the biggest private employer in the world with over two million employees, and is the largest retailer in the world. It has 8,500 stores in 15 countries and is the largest and most profitable retailer in the United States. However, from a moral standpoint Walmart may not be as successful as many may think. It has violated many human rights in some of its third world countries, as depicted in the film “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.”…
As I stroll up to the two giant doors I reach out and grasp one of the pairs of handles, my fingers smudging its shimmering, chrome profile. As I enter the gym, the smells of stale sweat and cleaner mingle with my nose, creating flashbacks of prior experiences. I flash my ID card to the employee working at the front desk and continue on through until I reach my ultimate destination; the basketball court.…

The war on drugs whether wrong, right, or indifferent, has yielded a plethora of life changing outcomes for many United States citizens. Both the plaintiff and the defendant have their own side of the dispute, and yet somehow the plaintiff in the non-stop ‘cash grab’ that’s so conveniently nicknamed the “War on Drugs” gets the benefit of zero-tolerance, or minimum sentencing. In most cases the defendants simply are doomed from the beginning due to horrible living conditions and lack of jobs in the area. Coupled with police brutality and prejudice pointed toward the African-American community as a whole, it should come as no surprise that in 2011 there were more African-Americans in prison or “under the watch” of the justice system than were enslaved in the United States in 1850. This is not any more a war on drugs than the Iraqi Conflict was a war on the seizure of weapons of mass destruction.…

Attending the University of Georgia is a dream for many students. After several months, the city of Athens, Georgia becomes a new home for thousands of new incoming freshman. For me, I take great honor in saying that I live in the Classic City. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of “campus tour” busses and tour groups around campus, looking and observing the area and its inhabitants. I remember just last year when I took campus tours to help guide my decision of which college I wanted to attend after high school from an outsider’s view. But, now that I am on the inside, it seems extraordinarily odd to have people observing you and your hometown. However, without this sort of tourism, I would have not been able to benefit from being able to decide where I wanted to spend the next four years of my life. In reading A Small Place, Kincaid explains her dislike for tourists in Antigua. Though she makes several valid points, it seems as if tourism is more beneficial than harmful.…
There is a place in Spotsylvania that I call home. This place is a safe haven for me when I am tired, stressed, or if I need anything. When I’m tired there is a bed for me to take naps or sleep through the night in. If stressed there is plenty of comfort food in the fridge, or cabinets. There is also many different things in the housed for whatever you may need. I find myself most comfortable in my room. I could be in bed, my chair, the floor, even doing makeup too, but I will still be in total comfort. Almost anyone is welcome in my home, as long as you are respectful, without problem.…
I challenged this “requirement” of my nonfiction last year in my piece “Little River Rocks.” I started arguably easy, with a memory from over eight years ago, but it was still a difficult topic for me. I originally wrote this about “home,” in this case the place I have felt most at home, and how I felt like I failed the memory of this. I’m proud of the elements of this, and how I made the assignment my own where I could. I have edited it since the assignment to turn it into a more “self discovery” piece, focussing the place within myself, and less on myself in the physical place. Some more strengths in this is my development of place and character, specifically in my own. There are also a lot of little message I include, showing instead of telling, very rarely jumping in as my current self to reflect and letting the symbolism and imagery do it for…
