The Mall Experience Essays - Justin Bieber, Usher, Nicole Schmitz

The Mall Experience Everyone remembers their first mall experience from a little boy or girl or to now as a teen or adult. You were nervous, excited, scared but you get all these feelings when going into a different environment for the first time. Human instinct is to feel different of fear of something that is not natural to the normal routine. Cultural perspective pervades every aspect of human life, from the mundane to the exotic or foreign. It affects how people relate to one another and their ability to communicate. Individuals with dramatically different cultural perspectives may find that they have an especially hard time understanding why the other behaves a certain way. In this story about Mary going to the Patrick Henry Mall for the first time, she will be describing what she felt and saw at her first mall experience such as screaming, different groups of people, and stores, and fear of helping. The loud scream pierced through the Patrick Henry Mall air. It was cold and eerie night, but I as in the best place that I could see fit the mall. When I'm inside those four walls I feel that there is nothing that could harm me, except for maybe a credit card reaching its limit or the store not having any more mediums in the cutest cashmere sweater I've ever seen in my life. Anyway like I was saying, yeah so I heard this really loud scream that totally disturbed the whole shopping atmosphere. I was like hey, I really don't have to go back to work until one since I'm on my lunch break, and I've hit all the sales already, I might as well se where the hell that scream came from. So I cautiously angled it around the mall hiding behind manikins and ducking behind the plants, until, I heard it again. It sounded like it was coming from the pet shop, but what could it be; maybe somebody got bitten or a cat scared somebody on accident. Wait a minute, now it was like continuing nonstop and seemed never ending I kind of felt like something was wrong for real so I sprinted to where the noise was coming from and looked all around but I couldn't see anything until I looked down. There was a red-faced lady laying on the floor scream and yelling "Get it off me, get it off me". A huge tarantula that had wrecked havoc on the whole shop attacking the lady. It had thrown over tables and broken glass cages, and now it was about to kill this poor middle-aged lady. What was I supposed to do? Who am I supposed to call? I brilliantly said, "Hold on I'll help you, what do you want me to do?" The lady responded, "What do you think I want you to do, get this thing off of me now". Hey lady there's no reason to get upset or anything" I replied shocked by her rude response, " I'm trying to help you out, and its just a spider its not like you could die or something, oh wait you could die" The lady replied sarcastically, " Yeah I could die, so you think you could just shut the hell up for like 2 seconds and just call for help." Thinking to myself how much it burns my bacon when people are disrespectful, I replied No I don't think I'll be able to do that, but you have a very nice day." I walked off quickly since it was already 12:42 and I had to walk all the way to the other side of the mall where I parked. I thought to myself, Mary, that was really mean of you and you shouldn't have done that, but on the other hand she shouldn't have been so mean. As I got to my car and put the key in the ignition, I saw at least 5 ambulances and fire trucks pull up to the entrance beside the pet shop and I knew they were for the lady. I felt a little bad about not helping her but hey, maybe next time she'll be a little nicer to people that try to help
