Wes Pomeroy was the head of security at Woodstock. He originally said no to helping out with the event, but after Stanley Goldstein, director of operations, told him the reason for the event and the goal they were trying to reach, Pomeroy agreed to help out because he believed in what they were trying to accomplish (Makower, 1989, p. 60). Pomeroy was a highway patrolman, World War II veteran, and a chief deputy in California for years. He agreed to help with Woodstock without using violence of any kind because they wanted this to be a peaceful event (Makower, 1989, p.61) Throughout the event, Pomeroy tells about all the drug use, how dirty everything was, sexual freedoms and how happy everyone was.

In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides

Manufactured mineral waters, generally called "pop water", and the pop wellspring were for the most part mainstream in the United States. Starting in 1806, Yale University science educator Benjamin Silliman sold pop waters in New Haven, Connecticut. He utilized a Nooth contraption to create his waters. Agents in Philadelphia and New York City likewise started offering pop water in the mid nineteenth century. In the 1830s, John Matthews of New York City and John Lippincott of Philadelphia started assembling pop wellsprings.
Pop Tab Cans Pop Tab’s have revolutionized the way that we drink and store liquids in aluminum cans. Pop tabs have gone through many changes throughout the last century. The first version ever made was called the push-button and didn’t require any pulling of a tab just a poking of a church key or a long metal stick. After the push-buttons came the pull tabs. The pull tabs were supposedly invented by an engineer who went on a picnic and did not have a church key with him, so Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company decided to make a tab that you pull to reveal the “drinking hole”.

In “Find Your Beach”, a narrative essay written by Zadie Smith, the writer expresses her belief that is one is adamant enough, one can arrive at their beach - a paradise-like environment that people dream of, but is believed to be very hard to obtain. The idea of a person’s “beach” being hard to discover can be observed through Smith’s personal background, as it is almost mythical for this English writer living in Soho, Manhattan to come by a beach. What I took away from Smith’s text is the idea that when you finally arrive at your beach, “sooner or later you will be sitting on that beach wondering what comes next”. Overall, I interpreted one’s beach being defined as a person’s happiness. It is something we all have the potential to posses

Pop Brixton Very few people have a charm to explore this place it is also called as the shipping community or the shipping container community and the place is fantastic to explore. It is usually seen that people in this part of The London city lives in the shipping containers, their own residences are in these containers and there are shops and boutiques in these shipping containers. The place is a fantastic destination to taste some real street food and as soon as it is post noon you can see people gathering on the streets to enjoy some finger licking dishes , there are a number of places which serve you drinks too and it is more like a feast and there are boutiques lined up on either side of the roads where you can do some window shopping. The Pop Brixton area has been deliberately planned and even the city commissioner gave a go ahead for this peculiar infrastructure but

Contrasting images are used between the beginning and end of the poem. At first, the speaker is described as standing on a “wide strip of the Mississippi beach,” (Trethewey l. 2) while her grandmother is standing on a “narrow plot of sand.” It symbolizes the freedom the speaker now compared to the confinement and limited opportunities her grandmother experienced. Natasha Trethewey uses mood, symbolism, and
Point of View The fitting description of turtle beach is “beautiful scenery.” The best decision I have made so far today seems to have been coming here. Sitting while watching love-birds walk past me, holding each other’s arms and young couples struggling to keep their hands away from their partners but ending up losing the battle makes me forget the stress I had earlier in the day. The beach is clean and less crowded; I guess the silence has really proven to be medicine when I needed it most.
Matthew Arnold 's poem “Dover Beach” expresses many different thoughts on life and relates such thoughts to the ocean. This poem describes an ocean while trying to get its reader to look beneath the surface of the poem and extract the information that it is talking about something of greater importance to the speaker. These feelings are not directly stated in the poem, it is only through the use of literary devices that such a reference becomes evident. The idea that life can suddenly be filled with agony in the poem “Dover Beach” is illustrated by the use of diction, tone and type of poetry.
