Summary: Beach Bums
I have always been very pleased with the items I buy at Beach Bums. I must admit that I am a little name brand snobby as in I have Lilly Pulitzer/Janie and Jack taste but a Carter's clearance budget. At beach bums I have been able to snag Janie and Jack shirts for $3-$4 (usually on clearance $15 or higher) I usually make about $200-$250 on the clothes I sold at the sale and I spend around $100 for my son's new clothes. This has been a huge help for our family with our budget for clothes, toys, etc.

I will not lie to you, it will take some time to hang, sort, check for stains/holes, enter your items into their computer system. I find it to be well worth my time. I am sitting around the house not doing a whole lot, so why not use this down

    Times Beach Case Study

    Located just southwest of St. Louis, and 2 miles east of Eureka in an old flood plain used for farming, lies a ghost town called Times Beach, Missouri. Originally being marketed as a summer hideaway, one could purchase a 20 x 100 ft. lot for $67.50 in 1925 and even receive a six-month newspaper subscription. After the Great Depression and gas rationing during World War II, the town became a small community of low-middle-class economic citizens. In 1983, due to a dioxin contamination that was widely covered by the national media, the town’s citizens were completely evacuated, becoming the largest civilian exposure to dioxin in the history of the United States of America (Leistner, 1995). Two short years after the evacuation…

    Gary Soto's Essay: A Summer Life

    In the well-written autobiographical narrative A Summer Life (1990), Gary Soto delivers an original assembly of aspects from himself as a six-year-old child. Soto asserts the scary realization of wants triumphing over what is ethical and he uses many examples of imagery, repetition and a chosen vocabulary to sketch out the ignorance that is evident in a child’s mind. Soto’s purpose is to selectively illuminate feelings of morals, paranoia and imagination that play a leading role in the lives of young children in order to adequately contain the audience’s attention and allow them to apply their own emotions. Given the excessive importance to detail and exquisite symbolism with angels, Soto is writing to a very diverse audience that has some sort of religious or spiritual background or knowledge and it seems he may even be reaching to engage parents’ opinions on the matter.…

    Beach Bum Case Summary

    Beach Bum’s job advertisement has included some exclusionary words that would keep some applicants from apply to a lifeguard position. The use of “look good in bikini” would be discriminating against males due to the fact females wear bikini and it could result in disparate treatment lawsuit. Also, the use of “look good in bikini” would be discriminating against religion due to the fact some religions does not allow its practicing members to wear such garments. A lawsuit under religious discrimination can show failure to reasonably accommodate the person in this particular religion. Another view of “look good in bikini” could discriminate against some women and men that do not have a particular body type. A fourth view of “look good in bikini” could exclude those that are qualified that are over the age of 40. A fifth problem with the job advertisement is the words “work on tan” this could discriminate against people based on race because not all races work on their tans. A sixth problem with the job posting is “home for the summer” this could be looked upon as the employer is only looking…

    Beach Vs Beach Research Paper

    What is a sediment? As Tom Garrison, a science professor, defines sediment "particles of organic or inorganic matter that accumulate in a loose, unconsolidated form." (Marine Science 100pg. 47). The classification of sediments may be put in their source which pertain to be terrigenous, biogenous, hydrogenous, and cosmogenous. Each one of the sediment sources contains a different mineral composition and may be found at different places in the ocean or beach. Specifically, terrigenous sediments which "originate on the contientes or islands from erosion, or volcanic eruptions, and blown dust." (Oceanography pg.143) pertain to be "the most abundant"(Oceanography pg.134) in the beach where the sand is all the way the shelf.…

    Descriptive Essay: A Trip To Coney Beach

    When one thinks of summer, it immediately comes to mind the sight of sandy beaches, amusement parks and hot sunny days. Coney Island, an extravagant vacation playground to visit especially for the summer. I have recently had an opportunity to come to such a wonderful place that the sights are still engraved in my mind. There were other attractions that I have missed out on mainly since I had only one day there. If time was not an issue, I would have definitely visited more programs that they provide. Getting there is also not a problem due to their cheap and handy subway system. One thing to be cautioned about is that it can get extremely busy on the weekends, so the best time to be there would be on the weekdays, especially if you do not want…

    A Summers Life

    1. The one aspect of Soto's life that was most interesting is when he had the three chicks. Soto had three chicks in his back yard that he was raising. He seemed fascinated by the way they just pecked around his back yard, blinked rapidly, and slept standing up. The chicks used to crawl on his shoes. He thought it was cute until one of the chicks defecated on his shoe. That angered Gary and he kicked sand in the chicks eyes. He immediately felt bad after what he had just done. This is the part of the story that made me laugh. It made me laugh because as the chapter went on, Gary became very protective of the chicks. When he kicked sand in the chicks eyes, it was very alarming. He seemed not to be a violent person.…

    Personal Narrative: The Fugitive Beach In Rolla Beach

    Over the summer in late July a couple friends and I decided that we were going to go to The Fugitive Beach in Rolla, Missouri. It took a little over two hours to get there but it was well worth it. At the beach they have cliffs to jump off of and a slide that goes off the cliffs. So we sat in the water and watched people do flips off the cliffs. While we were watching, this guy tried to do a backflip and landed on his back. It sounded horrible and like it hurt a lot. Everyone at the beach cheered and yelled like it was a good thing that happened. The guy then came up and acted fine but everyone knew that it had to have hurt. At first I was kinda worried that he wouldn’t come above the water or that he was hurt but once he came up we all cheered…
