Brittany L. A Day in AmericaThe new-born lets out a loud cry, hinting to her mother that it is time to eat... The surgeon carefully enters a human body, beginning a procedure that will last for hours... The ice-cream man drives about with playful music blaring out of his truck... The pilot of a commercial jet gets ready for take off, and signals the button to ‘fasten your seatbelts’... Risking his life over and over again, the firefighter bravely rushes into raging fires... The newscaster delivers good and bad events throughout the world daily... An exterminator deploys poisons and chemicals into the air... The writer hops eagerly out of bed to begin brainstorming for his latest novel... The stay-at-home mom dissolves, trying to take care of two babies and a four year old... A member of a gang’s life abruptly ends with one swift pull of a trigger... Peer pressure is dumped on the shoulders of a troubled teenage boy, lacking support he desperately needs... A restaurant owner is forced to suddenly fire his co-worker... A recently fired father returns home from job searching, and refuses to pay attention to his daughter... A homeless person lives in despair and loneliness forever... A world leader strives to find solutions to ensure world peace for days to come! |
