When you are walking in the yard/car park, what should you always do?

1. Preplan the Walk to Your Car

If you’re in an unfamiliar or isolated place, like a hospital parking lot, or a far-flung part of town, you must know the way back to your car. It might even be useful for you to have a backup route in case your intended route doesn’t work out. This way, you’re prepared for the worst.

2. Choose the Right Parking Spot

When you park your car in a lot, see to it that you find a spot as close to the entrance of the building as possible. You should avoid parking your car in isolated corners of the lot. Predators linger in dark and hidden areas of a lot, so avoid parking in spaces that are hidden from other vehicles. In case the lot is empty, park your vehicle in a well-lit and visible area where pedestrians and other cars can spot you. This reduces the chances of untoward incidents.

3. Don’t Forget Where You Have Parked

Never forget the spot where you’ve parked the car. A dark and quiet garage isn’t really the place where you can afford to forget this aspect. You can make a note of the numbers on parking lot pillars where you have parked the caror even save the location on your phone. Remember the level, in case you have parked in a multi-leveled carpark.

4. Keep Your Keys Easily Accessible

Always keep your keys ready before you approach the car door. Avoid keeping them in your jacket or pants’ pocket. In case of an emergency, it’s always great to have your car keys handy rather than be unprepared. You can even attach your car keys to a key ring which will prevent you from dropping them.

5. Be Cautious

Carefully scan the surrounding area before walking back to your car. Always follow your instincts and if something doesn’t feel right, avoid heading to the car alone. Walk in the center of the parking lot; it prevents surprise attacks from anyone that might be hiding behind a pillar or another vehicle.

6. Avoid Distractions and Be Alert At all Times

You should always stay alert and avoid distractions when you’re walking alone towards your car at night. Remain aware of your surroundings at all times. Avoid wearing headphones or earphones as it prevents you from paying attention to the surrounding area.

Furthermore, you should also avoid texting or browsing the internet while walking alone at night. If required, you can make a call while you’re walking, however, see to it that you still have an eye on what’s happening around you. The best and most effective way to prevent dangerous situations from occurring is to be alert and aware of your environs.

You can even take a friend with you if you have to walk to an isolated parking lot at night. If you’re alone, you can ask a security guard from the residential building or commercial establishment to walk you out.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
