In Class Writing- Observations of the Bookstore

An odd space that had various racks, shelves and tables that held several kinds of items. However, most of these items could be construed as written material for reading. These written materials seemed to be sorted into categories of some random sort. There were other items that I can only assume were for use with the printed material.There were yet more items that I'm assuming were for the daily care of the bodies that came into this space. The bodies that came into this space would walk around until they stopped and picked something up. They would then carry it up to the front of the space where they would hand it to another body and give them pieces of paper or a piece of plastic. This body would either give them more pieces of paper and/or pieces of metal back. If they had given that body a piece of plastic; they would get the piece of plastic back and a piece of paper to write something on. However, all of them got a white piece of paper. At that point, they would leave with their item.
