Many students were highly anticipating the opening of CSI’s Dolphin Cove. I was too busy trying to lift my heavy boxes. A curly hair, nicely built RA offered to help. I wanted to move it the way I wanted it move. I was paranoid they would break something or place it to the wrong apartment. Even though I protested, the RA ignored me. He was already at the entrance with my box of dishes. I paced as quickly as I could. I can hear the dishes shift. We slip through the crowd to the second floor. I can barely squeeze through the hall with everyone boxes and bags of shit lying around. The RA disappeared as I looked into my room. My first roommate, Savannah already settled in. She introduced me to her family and boyfriend. I did not wait for my other two roommates, I wondered off to meet up with James. He was on the line to obtain his keys. We did not have to lift a finger. I asked if he worries, that something will break or go missing. He playfully pushes me. “Relax.” He smiled. …show more content…
I followed him up to his place.
The place incompletely built. His RA apologized for the inconvenience. They were sending students out the Hampton Hotel until all construction were done. His room and bathroom are fine, the stove uninstalled and the fridge worked. His other roommates complained, worrying where they were going to place their belongings. Many said I was lucky. Lucky? I had a hole in my bedroom wall. My side of the bathroom toilet did not work. The plug of our stove was non-compatible to the socket the wall. James made lunch then we chilled on his bed talking about how much we missed our mama. He opened up about his past relationships and his high school experience. His roommate, Guy let us know the manager of Dolphin Cove arranged a dinner BBQ for residence. He dropped off his belongs before he headed to the Hampton Hotel. I invited James over. He helped me unpacked my groceries and
toiletries. That night all residences were mandatory to gather in building 1P for orientation. The RAs of each floor was introduced including the Manger Nikki. They went over regulations. We all chuckled, had our own side conversation or glanced at our phones. Everyone’s main concern was the maintenance. Nikki instructed us to meet her after orientation to file our complaints. I ran, following her before the meeting ended. I grumbled about our out-of-order toilet and sink, hole in my wall, non-compatible stove and no hot water. My roommates hover her to add impact to our complaint. Nikki noted only important top priorities will be taken care of. I pouted. “I’m sure an out-of-order toilet and no hot water is important.” “There are two bathrooms in your dormitory. You and your roommates have to share.” She suggested as paced quickly to her car. Other students ran to catch up to her for a complaint form. We all had to suffer from no hot water. We complained to one another, how we did the cha-cha to shower in that freezing water. Nikki informed us we can use the Rec center showers tomorrow. After the meeting, James invited my roommates and I to a party at the Hampton Hotel. His roommate Guy was hosting. The girls and I dolled up and left with him. I wore Nirvana crop top, black eyeliner and beat up converse. Nastia wore a muscle top with tight jeans, cat eye black eyeliner and a beanie. Tianna wore tight jeans, uggs and a green top.
In the books Hatchet, Guts, and Island of the Blue Dolphins the characters all go through horrifying experiences. In Hatchet, a boy named Brian is forced to fly a plane after the pilot dies of a heart attack. In Island of the Blue Dolphins, a girl named Karana and her brother were left behind by their clan. In Guts, a man named Gary Paulsen answers emergency ambulance calls and witnesses many deaths from people.
Seaworld is a giant marine life theme park. The greatest attraction to these many theme park would be those killer whales. In fact, these killer whales are the face of the park. As gigant as these mammals are, seaworld is keeping them in some pretty tight quarters. Mr. Jett and Mr.Ventre says “Wild killer whales can swim a hundred miles daily as they socialize, forage, communicate, and breed. In stark contrast, with little horizontal or vertical space in their enclosures, captive orcas swim only limited distances, with most spending many hours surface resting.” The animals don't have the freedom they need. Also when taking the whales out of their natural habit the whales tend to be depressed and not as heath in that situation. They need their freedom in the big ocean blue. Bring them into the small living units, breeding whales in captivity all for the entertainment of humans. At young ages the calves are taken away from their mothers on to a new seaworld park. Mothers of the calves have even been seen denying their offspring.
It all began with good intentions. People thinking that they can control these animals and not expect any negative impacts. It was all due to wanting to explore and entertain with the animals. However, not all animals are meant to be taken from the wild to be show animals. After many years of unfair ways, SeaWorld is doing the right thing by closing down the whale exhibit even if it isn’t by choice because it is unhealthy for both the humans and animals involved.
“Out of the north deep waves rolled down upon the island. They broke against the rocks and roared into the caves, sending up white sprays of water. Before night a storm would certainly strike” (O’Dell, 19). This passage from Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins describes the Ocean that surrounds the island and characters in the story. In this description the narrator, Karana, shows the reader that the people on the island fear and respect the power of the Ocean. The Ocean is depicted throughout the novel as something enormous and powerful. The way the Ocean is seen demonstrates an example of the Burkeian Sublime. According to Burke, the Sublime is an experience that comes from authority and power. A common example for the Burkeian Sublime is looking at the power of mountains. Mountains are Sublime because they’re large in size, and have the power to kill people. Therefore, through looking at Burke’s requirements for the Sublime the conclusion is made that Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins contains the Burkeian Sublime.
In February of 2010, a woman named Dawn Brancheau died while working as an animal trainer at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. There has been a large amount of debate about the circumstances surrounding her death—some say she slipped and fell, while others say that she was dragged in by one of the orcas, Tilikum. The controversy over her tragic death brought this question to the surface: should parks like SeaWorld be closed down for safety reasons? While this argument has been going on for a long time, the death of Brancheau spurred a wave of debates about whether the park should be allowed to remain open. On one side, people believe the parks should be shut down and the animals should be released from captivity in an effort to protect the animals and the humans. On the other side of the argument, people believe the parks should be kept open because of the benefits they offer to the world in education and conservation. In light of SeaWorld’s recent transitions, I believe the park should remain open to the public.
If you walked in the fifth flat on Philmore Avenue, the last thing you’d find is legroom. Stacks of boxes, books, bags and any other entity known to man can be found just in the hallway of this bizarrely looking apartment. You think it couldn’t get any worse?
In the Pacific there is an island shaped like a big fish sunning itself in the sea. Around it, blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea elephant and birds abound. A young Indian girl lives and waits for her people to return for her, from the land to the east. Karana with her long black hair and her dark skin, held her own on an island after her people had left for a new place. She was sure they would come back the next spring, but after two springs she learned to live on her own. I really admire her strength and her will power. She faces so many different adventures that you can relate to your life in a different fashion.
I wake up to the sun shining through the window and the faint laughter from my family downstairs. It's the first day of our annual trip to Rhode Island. I lie in bed for a few moments and think about one thing. Rhode Island. I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else than here. I glance at the clock and it is only eight in the morning, but everybody is already up, enjoying breakfast, and getting ready to head to the beach. It's not supposed to rain until later in the day, so hopefully we can enjoy our day at the beach before it rains. I eventually make my way out of bed and tiptoe across the frigid wood floors and join my family downstairs. Everybody is up except my brother, Thomas.
The end of the spring semester came, and our relationship got a little shaky. The girls decided to move out. In the process, one specific roommate decided that his girlfriend had a say in every decision in the house. This made it very difficult and uncomfortable. Due to this, one day in the process of moving out, he decided he
After my semester off, I returned to school with a new scholarship from Duke but still no place to live or means to support myself. Jerome very graciously offered me the opportunity to live in the upper floor of his home adjacent to East Campus. This was rent free in exchange for helping him fix up his house. Jerome allowed me to stay there through graduation.

To be a good citizen you must obey the laws, understand issues and rules, be purposeful by setting goals that you want to achieve, and you must be active to make a difference in your community. To be a good person some of those rules might have to be broken. To some people the thought of going to jail is terrifying, but to many passionate activists going to jail is apart of the job.
