Ethnography proposal

For my ethnograhpy essay I am going to observe the lacrosse practice at Raynham Middle school. This is a good place for me to observe because I know the coachs from football and I helped out the coachs for community serive last year. Their pratice field is also very close to my house.I remember how lacrosse practice was and going back is going to remind me how brutal it was. They have hitting, passing, and scoring drills then at the end they do sprints up a slept hill.

On observation

If there wasnt a sign that said "Lush ooh la la soap" I would have no idea what was in the picture.The soap were stacked so high that if you knocked 1 over it would probably set off a chain reaction and the next thing you know its all over the ground. You can't tell the size of the room but i would imagine it is very small because of how cluttered it is. It seems like they have soap of every color and scent. I would imagine it smells exactly like a candle store.
