Immigrant Survival

I am an immigrant and the world seems to be the worst place to live in right now. I feel homesick. By stepping into this new way of living I felt like am starting to forget my culture. The City seems enormous to me and I realise that my dream could be impossible to accomplish. The clock was ticking; my friend David where I live says to me that it was morning already. I open my eyes and saw this weird atmosphere. It was like life was always sad. While putting my shoes in my feet I was singing out loud then I went doing my toilet and went to the kitchen. The smell of bacon and beans was kind of new to me. I wasn’t used to have fat food early morning like that.

Overheard Conversation

Introduction

“Just like that” the little girl with the petite voice said to her Mum, she was as happy to be there in town. The little girl’s Mum who was wearing a shiny earring didn’t have a response to what her child was saying. The racket and the atmosphere of the town was becoming over warming. Two guys walking along NEXT the shop said “how she looks” and walked away quickly. “My Dad served it” the man with short hair, dark jacket and one shaky hand said with a piercing voice on the phone.

As the end of the day seemed closer, a woman with white top said while she was standing in front of the 3G shop with an enthusiastic tone in her voice “free phone unlimited text”. “Am going to swap the babies” the guy said to his wife on the left of republic. He had an eye catching blue shirt on which seems to reach to the attention of everyone. “See you later” said two young women. One of these young women had lots of mascara on and the other one had high heels which you could distinct her from her friend.

“Laughing” in the air two women walking in the middle of the crowd in the town as they were moving faster, any sound of them was lost. “There the stair” the old women said to herself while looking up the stair. The little girl who was sitting down said with an air of passion gain in the tone of her voice “they look like policemen”. “Pretty emotional song” young friends said to each other while walking in a hurry towards the mall. “I can hear you mum” the little girl wearing a pink dress said with an angry tone in her speech.

The Men in the Picture

“Strange a man with a walking stick standing there watching us” David the man on the ladder was saying to his friend near him. Two steps from Tom the man standing with the walking stick were a post box, dark it seems. The entire road looks old and sad like life were gone but still three men there. The walking stick man wearing dark trousers feet cross awaiting for those guys to finish what they were doing it seems. David the man by the ladder said let carry on painting this wall the other man James on the ladder answer okay.

Cross pavement under his feet Tom still standing and thinking why they painting? In his thought”why are they there anyway” he also observe that there were lots of windows of apartment around. All shutters down from the shop and still no sign of movement going on. Tom the walking stick man now is wondering in his mind “are they really painting now?” The Impurity and the circumstance of the place make Tom realize that the road is so messy.


Oh my god still watching us David reply to his friend quietly I know reply James also quietly. Weird old man James speaking with a strange sound in his voice. Are you hungry David asking with a worried tone in his voice to James? No, no not yet he replies quickly.

Tom realizes that that wall seems to be closing that road to any traffic. He now suspects this might be a factory and they are building the wall to prevent any danger. On the lamp post there were a poster tom notice that and didn’t bother to find out what it is as he was to busy watch these to guys. Something come across the mind of the author of the picture No shadow, the sun isn’t there, the sky with no colour, the picture was taken behind them and they don’t even know about it.

It feels like life has many questions he thought in his mind and believes from his heart and body.

Story of the Seaside- 500 Work

Old People walking pass him and he look at them and thought what are they doing here. As he is a young adult he thought that these old people was out of place but in fact he was wrong as they were the only person who had more reason to be there. Looking down now thought the wood at the sea and thought that he must not let anything fall off. It was a brightest day and he was at the beach on the pier in Brighton. He observes that there were lots of people on the pier even so it was really early in the morning.
He and his friends were sitting on the bench then woke up and walk a bit further on the pier. John also observes that there were many rides on the pier and a casino. While walking he join up with other mates. He started talking he suddenly notice something a butterfly flying around. It was weird to him as its impossible to believe that a butterfly was flying around on the pier it was unreal. Lots of pigeon he said to his friends annoying he thought it was. His friend took pictures of those pigeon he didn’t bother about it and started talking about something else.
Twenty minutes ago while he was sitting on the bench he observe a little tractor was going by. For some reason he notice that people wear sports clothing and was weird to him as you suppose to wear beach clothes at the beach. Music playing out loud on the pier and from the pier you could see the traffic light. Foreign people walking on the pier he obviously notices them as they were talking their own languages. From the pier john could observe many things from the city and the beach. People working then he came back to earth obviously not everyone is having fun at the beach. He realizes that some people on the pier were work and notices that one man a security talking on a walky-talky to his colleague.
For some reason this sentence come across his mind ” The noise of the city was interact with the silence of the sea”. He realizes that there were less youngster than old people. Now walk along the beach he observe and believe that there were lots of artwork on the beach they were really old. He feels fresh air around and the feeling of freedom. While he was walking along the beach he notice some old place and start asking question about it. He wanted to know what was it then one of his mates say it is the west pier.
The smell of food reveal nice and he notice that there were lot of shop selling food around. He still was walking along the beach taking pictures and observing his surrounding. Now he stop for a moment to make more observation sit down and started writing. Moving again now towards tunnel out in the city he was heading now in the town as he was walking towards this tunnel he though that he never saw something like it before all these short cut were new to him.

Some how his earphones manage to fall out off his ears. He seems tired as he was carrying a heavy bag. He suddenly found himself between people he didn’t know as he was walking in the direction of the train station. He started to feel like sore and walk faster. He turns back to see if they were looking at him but none of them were paying attention to him so he walk away and continue his journey on the road to the train station.

As he walks further away from those people he felt that his bag was really heavy and then decide to slow down a bit. Arrived at the top of the road he cross the road to go into the park the tress were all greenish and there were pure air to breathe to. Finally out of the park he makes his way to the Clair Hall car park. As he got closer to the train station he started to sing people were looking at him but he wasn’t paying any attention.

On the station he waited about fifteen minute before the train arrived during that time he observer someone it was a lady with a red dress she was talking loud on her mobile phone. Twenty pass eight the train arrived he gets on the train can’t find a sit then stay stand up.

 Again he observe an another lady this time the lady was in a blue dress and was explaining herself to her friend who look really keen to hear what she had to say. Fifteen minute to nine the train arrive at three bridges that where john have to get off the train so he did so and waited another fifteen minute for the train to Crawley.
