Pop goes the Cupertino 'bubble'
Residents often refer to living in Cupertino
as living in a bubble. But it seems that the uneventful days of Cupertino are past. Barely
a week ago, two major international events happened in Cupertino. One was the shooting spree of
Shareef Allman; the other was the death of Steve Jobs. Both are pretty
cataclysmic events in themselves. What's even scarier is that they both
happened on the same day. The
Cupertino
bubble not only popped, but popped with a bang.
Just when everything seems to be back to normal, something else happens.

I wrote many attempts for college essays, but a lot are simply not not good enough. So I'm posting all the rejects on here. Just because they're bad college essays doesn't mean they're badly written. Well, some might be.
Here is one. I liked the story.

Viewing the Room
Theatrical release poster from 1985 film |
However, a traveler on the early twentieth century will have an experience more akin to the Grand Tours. At the turn of the century, even as class barriers begin to crumble, travel was still dominated by the middle class. A female traveler in this era, for example, would travel with a chaperon—no respectable young female will be without one. She, like her itinerary, would embody convention.
That is the basic premise of A Room with a View, by E.M. Forster.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
