In Class: First Paragraph

Barnes & Noble has a very quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The lighting is warm, the walls are a mustard yellow, the carpet is a dark green, the music typically jazzy, the air smells like a mix of pages of new books and coffee, the employees are friendly and the customers are calm. When you walk in, there are two sets of doors. When you open the first set of doors, there are bargain priced books of all categories surrounding you along with calendars and journals. In front of you, you will see the second set of doors. Once you open these doors, you will see the cash registers to your left, the magazine section to your right, and the books, calendars, journals and accessories directly in front of you that encompass the entire store. The Starbucks that is attached to the bookstore is to the left of the cash register. In the back and various corners of the store there are chairs and couches that customers use to study and relax. Depending on what you came to the Barnes & Noble to do, whether it's buying a book, grabbing a cup of coffee, or relaxing, will determine where in the store you will find yourself.
