The social norm that I violated for this exercise was climbing up an escalator that was meant to be rode down. I chose this particular norm to violate because I knew it would involve a great deal of people, and I could get multiple reactions to my unusual behavior.

Stormy Days - My Paradise "Oh, Man! I hate the rain!" my eight-year-old brother said. He had planned on spending the weekend outdoors, playing and exploring. I could understand his disappointment. An eight-year-old boy would much rather be outdoors catching disgusting creatures, riding bikes, and playing ball. Mothers generally don't allow these adventures on stormy days.

Butchart Gardens, I thought this was a place for older generation to admire and enjoy. I had never been this fascinated by flowers. The scent of flowers is so mesmerizing.

Here the boy experiences his most impassioned moment of "strange prayers and praises," pressing the palms of his hands
