The story is about a kid who went to the mall with her mom and got lost in the end. The first part of the story started in her house in the morning. It was the last day of summer and the girl, whose name is Ging, stayed up until 2AM playing with her phone. When it was already morning, she was woken up by her mother, telling her to get up and prepare herself so that they can leave. Her mom told her that they were leaving to buy some school supplies since school is going to start the next day. When they were ready, Ging and her mom went to the diversion highway to ride a bus. She examined her surroundings; the streets were filled with cars in all shapes. Since she was living there for almost 2 years now, so she got used to the sound of screeching wheels and other noises every vehicles produce. Even though she’s being living near the busy highway, she still hated those black smokes being produced by the vehicles and those sand and dirt being swirled by the wind. …show more content…
Since I exactly know what age she was in this experience, it made the story look funny and ridiculous (in a good way). It was actually cute, in that particular age being lost in the mall, desperately asking for help to random people. I haven’t experienced that before to be honest, that’s why I can’t exactly relate to the story. The author should improve her ending since it doesn’t really satisfy me as a reader. She should also describe the part when Ging was exactly feeling when she realized when her mom was gone, when she searching for her home, and the part where she was going to search for her mom in the department store in the end. The point of achievement is that the author successfully arranged the sequence of her story logically. I liked the part where she applied flashbacks and descriptions on things the character mentions just like her experience from the bus and when she examined the rag on the household
As the once busiest streets juxtaposes to the streets during the present day of the setting: “During the day it was a thunderous surge of cars, the gas stations open… But now these highways, too, were like streams in a dry season, all stone and bed and moon radiance” (Bradbury 1). Here, the author makes a comparison of the
Public health plays a significant role in protecting and improving the health of the general population. Cameron Page’s article “They Paved Paradise And Put Up A Parking Lot” emphasizes the role the general public plays in defining public health in the United States. The title of the article addresses the importance of city parks and open spaces. The title highlights a need to protect urban green space, a so called “paradise”, from being paved into parking lots and constructed into city buildings. Page reflects on his public health role when a patient loses a place to exercise and their health sharply deteriorates.
“They didn 't want me to go but I wanted to,” Anna Sandrzyk says. Anna’s family was terrified of having their only daughter leave home at the young age of eighteen. Life in Europe was simple. There were little towns with miniature shops and farm land that spread across the landscapes of Slovakia like an enormous blanket. That just did not seem to be enough for Anna, she had a passion for traveling.
The Light in the Dark In any given situation, individuals experience conflicts when pursuing a personal desire as particular desires do not conform to the rules that societies standardize for individuals. Individuals quickly adapt to the modernization of the advancement of humanity and technology. Nevertheless, there may be a controversy deciding between obeying society's regulations of consistently keeping up with the innovative contemporary behaviour or sticking with subjective or independent aspirations. In the short story The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury, Leonard Mead’s complication between pursuing his personal desire and choosing to conform creates an issue with the development as an individual.

“Yes… we actually looked out the car window” (lines 61-62) does so. A large impact is created by suggesting his grandchildren will react to the idea of actually enjoying nature during car rides. His sarcasm implies how he anticipates the separation between people and nature will continue to grow. The insertion of a rhetorical question in lines 43-47 develops the argument by prompting the reader to stop and ponder. It plants the idea in their heads of how technology has disengaged our youth.
The journey I was taken on while reading the novel had a beneficial effect on myself, expressed significance to the world about a common topic and showed how the main character gradually changed throughout the story. I felt

It taught me that strength and perseverance can make a significant impact in life. I also learned that forgiveness and the ability to forgive is much more powerful than I ever realized. This novel sucked me into the story and its characters and took me on an emotional ride of highs and lows. Finally, it forced me to reevaluate my previous judgement of the homeless.

The story goes like this; once many children lived together in the valley of childish things, playing and studying the same lesson books. A little girl decided to go out of this world and to see something of the world about which the lesson books had taught her. As none of the other children cared to leave their games, she set out alone to climb the pass which led out of the valley.

On the way she met a man who helped her over the rough patches.
A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
