blog post 4

A woman sits with a small child a looks puzzled at a list in her hand. The piece of paper in her hand is a list, one can tell because she is in a grocery store and her eyes scroll down it quickly and fluidly. Her eyes continue to dart back and forth between the cart next to the bench she is sitting on and her list. The shopping cart is filled to the brim so the lady has to bend slightly to get a side view of her cart to check what's inside. The child is a small boy and he is trying to get his mother's attention. He might be around 3 or 4years of age, and he is wearing a red pair of over-alls and little white running shoes. He jumps up and down in front of her and tugs at her shirt. The women is around thirty with very light wrinkles beginning to line her face. She is skinny as if she is athletic, although it is hard to tell since she is wearing a a long sleeved shirt and pants, so muscular tone cannot be judged. She finally seems pleased with her cart and picks up the upset little boy and placed him in the front of the shopping cart and starts to walk outside. She looks proper and holds her body erect, as if she is going somewhere important. The little boy giggles, and kicks his feet in the air in frotn of the cart seat.

A man stands in live in a grocery store. It is around 8 in the morning and her is carrying a milk, juice, and a small box of donuts. He is in line, around 3 back from a man with a large order and even more coupons than groceries. The man in the front of the line is politely trying to get one of the coupons through. One of the coupons does not work and the cashier tells him it is for a different brand of the same item. He then runs of to get the correct brand. Since it is early in the morning, there is only one line open for customers to check out in so line is building fast behind the man with the coupons. The man three spots back looks deeply enraged at having to wait, and looks as if he will punch someone. He barks out in a large voice, "CAN"T YOU OPEN UP ANOTHER LINE?!" He is shaking slightly he is so mad. The man with  the coupons finally returns and his transaction finally ends. Another cashier opens up a line to the right and calls out, "I can help who's next." The last half of the line quickly runs over, but the irate man doesn't make it and ends up last in the first line. His lip quivers in anger but he holds his ground. The man with the coupons heads out the door with a large shopping cart full of items, while the angry man stomps off into the parking lot with almost visible steam coming out his ears.

A disgustingly obese man is in an electronic wheel chair rolls through a grocery store. The chair makes a groaning noise beneath him under the intense weight if his bulk. His lumps and rolls of fat drip down over the side of the chair and are only contained by a thin layer of cloth which his pants are made out of. He wheels through the store and piles a bag of chips and a package of cupcakes into his basket. He then gets a bag of celery and grapes and places those in too.  He also grabs a carton of milk and three bottles of unidentified pills. He wears a cowboy hat and a giant button down shirt. His eyes are covered by sunglasses and his face is lined in wrinkles. When he passes people, they look away in disgust.
