A Busy Toy Shop
Large, crisp snowflakes fell gracefully from the skyline like dancing fairies. The taste of excitement lingered in the misty air. As the shop lit up like a Ferris wheel on a fair ground and as the door began to rotate, the ever-awaiting crowds stood brimmed with delight. They began to swarm the door like a gathering of bees. The pounding of enthusiastic footsteps shook the ground as if a herd of elephants had passed. Staff, who worked in military precision, warmly greeted the over joyed kids as they hastily dispersed into every nook and cranny within the store.

A newly appointed member of staff had Sapphire blue eyes that glinted in the light. Wavy blonde hair, that framed her face, blew in the breeze from the fan positioned by the counter. As red as Rudolph's, the girl’s nose shone as her elderly grandmother wiped away the tiny water droplets that remained from the rivers that were once running down her bony cheeks. Realising what her grandmother had just reluctantly paid for she began to smiled which brightened up her whole face. This was a commonly occurring sight with in the shop as the children laid there adorable eyes on the toy that later was to be their prey.

Clumsily scampering around the toyshop, most of the boys and girls took in the magical sights of what the shop had to offer. Where as some others clung like baby monkeys from their parent’s necks, as if the scary monsters from their bedtime stories were lingering around every line of shelves. One innocent looking young boy was broken hearted at the thought of not being allowed the very bulky orange dumper truck that he had positioned in front of his unexpecting mother.

Every parent’s wallet purse was slowly losing it value and continence like a dripping

    With her mood, the essay started off with a ‘cheery’ attitude as she described, “As we all piled into the car, I knew it was going to be a fabulous day” (paragraph 1). We all knew she was going to the mall for last minute Christmas shopping and she mentioned, “on the way to the mall, we sang Christmas carols, chattered, and laughed”(paragraph 1). Her descriptions of happiness made it seem as if the whole story was already expected to be a happy one.…

    Immediately upon walking through the elegant double doors, the sweet aroma of butter envelopes the air around me causing me to rapidly salivate. The smell of nacho cheese accompanies the butter fragrance and I quickly begin to picture the many tasty treats behind the square concession area that is located in front of me. Candy galore is perfectly aligned behind the glass case further enticing my taste buds. A perfect temperature keeps me comfortable and makes me wish my home's temperature could be this perfect. One well groomed attendant generously overfills a striped bag with freshly popped popcorn and delicately hands it to a young boy standing next to his mother. Colorful posters line the walls around me, showing a glimpse into what lies behind the doors located down the hallways. The softness of the bench I am sitting on causes me to wonder if I am perched upon a cloud. Intermittent bursts of laughter can be heard coming from down the long hallways as well as in the lobby creating an atmosphere of endless fun. Smiling faces of children, teenagers, and adults quickly pass by me and I can hear the attendant quickly tear their perforated tickets as he happily says, "To the left, third door on your right."…

    Nearby, a mother and her young baby perused the quieter aisles, examining the shelves heaving with both colourful and educational toys, each with their own age restrictions bolded and displayed strongly from their boxes. Reaching out towards one of the shelves, the mother plucked a toy she deemed suitable and passed it lovingly to her infant. Grasping it with chubby fingers, the baby's eyes widened with delight as he brushed his skin over the smooth plastic, his mouth agape as he drank in the bold yellow and rings of cooler blues that encased the rattle against its hard cardboard backing.…

    Into a convenient store, I see a few familiar faces without surprise. ‘Oily Bill’ is sitting beside the window wiping his mouth with his dirty hands as usual. I can feel goose bumps running down my back seeing such a disgusting scene. I think I just lost my appetite from breakfast. Little Sam is cashing out in a counter. He is probably buying cigarettes, I thought. I remembered someone mentioned last week that he started smoking. It is such a shame that a young life is ruined by temptation of cigarettes. Lily miss Kitty is buying food for her cats again. When is she going to realize no matter how many cats she takes care of, she is still going to be a lonely old woman? Feeling extremely uncomfortable, I clench my fists and walk fast across the aisle, trying to retrieve a can of coffee without the need of greeting any one of them here. I don’t want to talk to…

    Inside Toyland

    Inside Toyland, written by Christine L. Williams, is a look into toy stores and the race, class, and gender issues. Williams worked about six weeks at two toy stores, Diamond Toys and Toy Warehouse, long enough to be able to detect patterns in store operations and the interactions between the workers and the costumers. She wanted to attempt to describe and analyze the rules that govern giant toy stores. Her main goal was to understand how shopping was socially organized and how it might be transformed to enhance the lives of workers. During the twentieth century, toy stores became bigger and helped suburbanization and deregulation. Specialty toy stores existed but sold mainly to adults, not to children. Men used to be the workers at toy stores until it changed and became feminized, racially mixed, part time, and temporary. As box stores came and conquered the land, toy stores started catering to children and offering larger selections at low prices. The box stores became powerful in the flip-flop of the power going from manufacturers to the retailers. Now, the retail giants determine what they will sell and at what price they will sell it.…

    “There is no way I’m leaving without getting a pink Lots-o’ Bear!” I cried to my parents. It was the last day of my vacation in Disney World and everyone in my family had a souvenir, except me. Throughout the entire trip, I’d been looking for one thing, a stuffed Lots-o’-Huggin Bear, from the movie Toy Story. There was no sign of a big, pink bear in any of the store windows. It was almost 9:00 at night, and everyone was getting tired, but I still hadn’t found my bear. Mom said we could go to three more stores, but after that we were going back to the hotel. I looked around for the biggest stores with the most toys. I come across World of Disney, and two other stores. I visited the two other stores first, just in case they had my bear, so that I might not have had to go in the ginormous crowd of World of Disney.…
