have been incessantly reordered to house each item in an aesthetic and efficient manner. The faded brown of the wood highlights the array of bright covers that lay at the front, patiently waiting to be withdrawn and analyzed once more. This humble bookcase is the crowning jewel of my personal space. The walls are lined with a diverse selection of truly enthralling books, all penned by arguably the most astute minds of all time. The knowledge of centuries lies at my finger tips, breathlessly hungering
Problem and Its Importance Before describing the problem, I would like to mention the advantages of reading because if people realize the benefits of reading one book in a month, they begin to develop reading habits. First of all, reading is good for both human psychology and physiology. Psychologist Dr. Kalyoncu and neurologist Dr. Ovak states that reading increases the brain blood flow in addition to speeding up the brain’s metabolism and the electrical activity (64). They also point out that
What community service means to me is helping someone without expecting anything in return. Community service helps you to gain skills and knowledge, as well as, providing a helping hand to others that need extra help because they can’t do it alone. It makes you feel good knowing you helped others in your community whether it’s cleaning up in a classroom at your school or going to a senior citizen's home and helping there. No matter what you do it will always affect your community, good or bad. There
Upper Class Victorian Homes The Victorian era was a time of ornate decorum, and grandiose homes for the upper classes. Wealth was not to be concealed, but displayed in all aspects possible, most importantly in the home. The structure of an upper class home often had at least a few levels. The top and bottom floors, or basement and attic, generally reserved for the servants of the household. Food preparation, and laundry activities were common of the basements, whereas the attic often served as
unrecognizable disfigured Dorian with a knife plunged into his heart and the gorgeous picture of their master on the There was the satinwood bookcase filled with his dog-eared schoolbooks. . . How well he remembered it all! (Wilde). After wards though the room is described as “‘faded Flemish tapestry, a curtained picture, an old Italian cassone, and an almost empty bookcase . . . that was all that it seemed to contain, besides a chair and a table” (Wilde). There are major differences between the two descriptions
In the TEDx talk “An Exploration of Coming of Age Rituals & Rites of Passage in a Modern Era” by Ron Fritz, the short story “If I had the wings of an angel” by Judith Gorog, and my personal experiences it shows coming of age by leaving parents/ becoming independent, and make important decisions. In my personal experience, I have come of age by growing up and leaving my parents behind. A time that I coming of age was when I was about 12 when my parents sent me to my grandparents. My parents could
Finally, Ramona’s dad came home from work. He went in Ramona’s room. Ramona felt relieved. She whispered “daddy can you please take the animal book in my bookcase out of my room.” Mr. Quimby did as he was told and walked out of Ramona’s room. Ramona felt much better. Ramona thought to herself only babies are afraid to sleep alone. Her eyes felt heavier and heavier then she finally fell asleep. Ramona threw

other hand, and stood by more erectly. Outside, the filthy slush was visibly turning to ice. Mary Jane let go the curtain and wandered back to the blue chair, passing two heavily stocked bookcases without glancing at any of the titles. (Salinger Nine 22) The way that Salinger describes the chair and the bookcase exemplifies this point. Salinger does not want the reader to ever lose interest in his story. The "filthy slush" lets the reader feel what is actually happening in the story. This paragraph
Exposition: Annabelle Doll is no ordinary doll, when she was being manufactured; she and a few other dolls took the doll oath which said that dolls were allowed to be alive. If a doll who had taken the oath accidentally been seen by humans, the first time they would be in TDS or Temporary Doll State; the second time they would be put in PDS or Permanent Doll State. If a doll were to be seen moving by a human and they purposely were seen they would be put into PDS. Annabelle Doll was an old style
2.1.3 Multi-purpose furniture As with the definition, both the official definition and the author’s explanation and definition of what micro design is, space is a major problem factor. The space that needs to be designed and all necessary areas such as a bathroom and kitchen needs to be included in the design. Multi-purpose furniture can be a possible solution to aspects of the design. When people find themselves in the problem of having no choice but to live in a small home/apartment new ideas
of Anne Frank The Diary of Anne Frank is a diary written by a young girl from the holocaust. Anne and her jewish family hid out in a secret annex for nearly two years. The secret annex was in the building that Anne’s father owned, hidden behind a bookcase. They were hiding from the Nazi soldiers. If they were found, they would be taken to work or concentration camps and killed. Whether they were gassed, starved, or worked to death, the Nazi’s wanted them all dead. The holocaust was the mass murder
The Haunted House - Original Writing It was the Christmas holidays and beady eyes phased with curiosity were glazing over us. I felt as though everyone was staring at us, and we were now the central attention of our new, humble town, Gravesend. As our entire luggage was being unloaded, I noticed that everyone was glaring at us as if we did not belong here. I felt uncomfortable and insecure. The neighbourhood itself appeared rather pleasant and, on the road, children were playing with each
IKEA was found by Ingvar Kamprad from a small mail-order company to the world’s largest furniture retailer. He adhered the vision of “creating a better life for the many people” and the strategy of cost-leadership at all time. Kamprad kept the lowest price with great design for consumers by cutting cost in daily management, like their self-assembled furniture, which can save transport and storage costs. Also, IKEA used international outsourcing to focus more on customers’ service, such as playroom

Anne Frank; the story of a normal young girl, ruined by a war which she was helpless towards. To me, this story is an example of a regular teenage girl who was living her life to its limit while being trapped inside a bunker by forces bigger than her. Her story begins on the 12th of June, 1942; this is her 13th birthday, the day she receives her diary as a gift. Her diary contains the full story of how she and her family went into hiding, were joined by other people. Her diary contains her deepest
This first chapter of her diary contains the diary entries between June 14, 1942 and June 30, 1942. Anne starts her diary with the hope that she can reveal everything and anything to it, since she has never really been able to confide in anyone. In the first chapter Anne says that on June 12th it was her thirteenth birthday and for her birthday she received this diary. Anne then tells how she was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1929 and in 1933 her family moved to Holland because they were Jewish
escalating anti-Semitic persecution. In 1941 Anne was required to transfer from a public school to a Jewish school. Secretly, Otto Frank prepared a hiding place by sealing off several rooms at the rear of his Amsterdam office building. A swinging bookcase hid the rooms Frank concealed. In June 1942 Anne received a diary for her 13th birthday. She began to write down her thoughts and experiences in the form of letters to an imaginary friend. One month later the Franks went into hiding in the office
Sometimes feel that I am not a normal woman. Most women enjoy going from one store to another, looking for a blouse, only to go back to the first store to get the blouse they looked at first. I hate shopping. Shopping wastes my time, wastes my energy, and, if I do the typical woman routine, wastes my money. So, do not ask me to go to the mall for the evening because I will respectfully decline. I hate shopping. I hate to be in the shoe department of a store. It seems that I always have
The texts that we, the reader, tend to relate to most are the texts that reflect our values or include certain social issues of the present. Texts such as these are therefore quite commonly found beside the beds, on the coffee tables and in the bookcases of many Australians. These texts, in a way act as a barometer for values, and shifts in values in our society. This can be seen in many instances. For example, take the feature film 'The Castle'. The typical Australian family, the Kerrigans, represented
