Dream House

As I get closer and closer to the island the house that I have always dreamed about awaits me. I can see it from a mile away. Everyone has that house that they ,have always dreamed about. It is so massive, that it is the most noticeable construction on the island. My own private plane lands on the landing strip located next to the house. As soon as I get off the plane, I then begin my voyage down the path that leads to my dream house. I am anxious to get to the house that I will spend the rest of my life in. Everything that surrounds me is simply amazing including all the trees and plants. It feels so good to be at a peaceful place and all you can hear are the birds chirping, smell the salt sea air. A nice tropical breeze on your skin, and warm white sand on my feet. As I draw nearer to the end of the road, my dream starts to appear. After all these years, I can now see my residence up close. Nothing could ever compare to the sight of my house. Nothing could have compared to the moment I was experiencing. What is better than looking at something you designed? My house is a five-story dream that lies on a twenty-acre lot. As I come near to the entrance of the house, four columns that lead to the most elegant doors in the world then surround me. The doors were made of mahogany with glass stained windows in the center of the each door. Each handle was made of brass along with brass frames. As I continue to walk around my house, I come across five windows that seem to overlook the house’s entrance. On each window, there are black shutters. The porch then continues to the backside of the house, as I am able to look over the ocean. When I look down at the ocean, I can see that there are two piers that protrude out in the ocean. The walls of the house are made of a good material to avoid damage from any weather. The outside of my house has an amazing view and I can only imagine what the rest looks like. On the inside of my house, I am able to stand in

    The House on Mango Street is in a poverty- stricken neighborhood in Chicago. That is where Esperanza Corderos and her family moved to. When the Corderos family lived in a house on Loomis, a nun (working at Esperanza’s school) was in disbelief when Esperanza pointed out where she and her family had lived. The way the nun acted affected Esperanza, making her feel dissatisfied and embarrassed of where she was living. Esperanza could not wait to move again. Esperanza describes the new house stating “ Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in”. Her dream house would have working pipes, a basement, more than one bathroom, and real stairs. The house might not be perfect as the dream house she…

    Once there was a poor man. He was very happy, but could not afford the house of his dreams. Each day he walked down the beach, looking at the frothy, white waves slapping against the beach, the fish leaping out of the water, and the seagulls floating around him waiting for a careless person to drop a crumb. He loved walking down the sandy beach. But what he enjoyed most was the rainbow of houses stretched down the beach. They weren’t big, they weren’t small. But he loved the way their colors looked next to each other. The dark blue standing next to the vibrant pink. He would see the owners looking out from their balconies, watching him. He did this day after day and nothing ever changed.…

    It's elaborate, a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay. There is a lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing with reflected gold, and wide open to the warm windy afternoon.…

    The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the early part of the twentieth century. One of the most prominent themes running through the story is about society and class groups. The first and most obvious group Fitzgerald describes is the rich. However, for Fitzgerald and certainly his characters, placing the rich all in one group together would be a great mistake. For many of those of modest means, the rich seem to be unified by their money. However, Fitzgerald reveals this is not the case. In my art work, I decided to split the page into three groups of people, the rich, the middle class and the poor. The rich did not talk about earning money, the middle class talked about getting and working for more money and the poor were also focused on money as they had none. My art work portrays the hierarchy of wealth from rich to poor, it also shows the importance of having money to survive on many levels, the rich are portrayed as selfish, the middle class who were earning new money were striving to class climb within the class and the poor were trying to survive and were struggling with the injustices of the inequality of society.…

    There is no place like mi casa. After a long day of school or a tiring session of work, the one place I can surely count on is home. Deep in the outskirts of Miami Gardens, this relaxing getaway destination awaits. While not the fanciest nor extravagant, my house is a convenient three bedroom apartment in the residency of Walden Pond. The building is beige with firebrick red stairs and a faded grey roof. The stairs are firm, and have rust stains due to weathering. Walking into the apartment, the aroma of Glade air freshener greets you before the people do. The walls are an orange-brown color, and immediately upon entry there are plaques and awards for my siblings showing their accomplishments in school. A glass table with flowery boutique sits…

It was initially popularized circa 1984 in Chicago, but beginning in 1985, it fanned out to other major cities across North and South America, as well as Europe and later Australia.[1] Early house music commercial success in Europe saw songs such as "House Nation" by House Master Boyz and the Rude Boy of House (1987) and "Doctorin' the House" by Coldcut (1988) in the pop charts.

    Spirit House

    When traveling to a new country, everything can look unfamiliar and foreign. During my trip to Thailand, it was not the luxurious dresses or the exotic fruit that caught my attention, but it was the beautiful miniature houses outside of homes and businesses. I would soon learn that these “birdhouse” looking structures were actually called spirit houses, and would contain the spirits of deceased loved ones. A spirit house can be simply defined as a house containing a spirit, although to the natives of Thailand, these houses have much more significance. I would learn this significance by observing the natives worshiping these small spiritual houses.…

    A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen is my favorite play that we read this semester. A main reason I liked this play was because of the writer himself. Ibsen is a realistic writer who took his problems from his day and brought it to life on stage. A Doll’s House deals with where women stand in their marriage and society. Ibsen felt injustice to what society was doing around him. A Doll’s House is about a Married couple named Nora and Torvald. Nora borrows a lot of money from a man named Krogstad , who happened to work for her husband. She did this because when her husband got sick he said that he needed to get out of the country to get better. Nora was only trying to do her best for her husband. She never told him of this loan and has been secretly paying it by saving from her household allowance. Her husband thinks her careless and childlike, and often calls her his doll. When he is appointed bank director, his first act is to relieve a man who was once disgraced for having forged his signature on a document. Krogstad, is the person Nora has borrowed her money. Nora forgot that she forged her father's signature in order to get the money. Krogstad threatens to reveal Nora's crime and tell her husband and everyone. Krogstand wants Nora to talk Torvald into keeping his job. Nora tries to but Torvald thinks of Nora as a child who cannot understand the value of money or business. When Torvald discovers that Nora has forged her father's name, he is ready to disclaim his wife even though she had done it for him .Nora then tells Torvald she is leaving him and her children. This play was sort of mysterious and interesting. I liked it because it showed how society was a long time ago for women and showed that Nora realized to move on with life and become a independent person which is abnormal in this time period for a women.…

    An Abandoned House

    • 340 Words

    It was a hot, summer's day as I walked on the dirt road with only silence along my side. As I continued on the road I discovered it led to an old abandoned house. I couldn't help but stop for a few minutes and look at the details of the huge, strange shaped house. I noticed that it had been a long time since anybody even took a look at the house. The old house was left to die, alone, with no one to care. The paint was peeling, the windows were broken and the shingles had been torn from the roof, probably by past storms. What caught my eye was that the unkempt yard, it looked like it hadn’t been cut since the house was abandoned, the grass was almost my height and there was nothing but weeds everywhere. I imagined this house would’ve probably been huge and gorgeous in its days. It had three full stories. The fourth floor had an attic where you could sit and see the sunset on the horizon. The house also had a huge porch with large white columns making a fence to support the balcony. The columns were full of dirt; they looked less white and more brownish-black. As I slowly continued to walk past the house, I could hear the wind whistling through the broken windows. I could see the leftovers of the curtains moving gently in the breeze and the grass swishing left and right in the wind. As I was giving the house a final look I thought I saw a silhouette of somebody beside the window gazing upon me so I started to walk a little bit faster. As I walked I wondered how much longer this house could stand up to the rain and wind before it surrendered itself to nature or would people destroy it and replace it. Maybe it would just be left alone there and would continue standing quietly with its dark, window eyes begging for mercy.…

    The world of the adults seems to be in conflict with the world of the children in Katherine Mansfields “the doll house”. The dolls house represents this conflict by pointing out the divide between the upper and lower class citizen which all the adults clearly understand and the children don’t fully understand or believe in. Throughout the story we see the clear line that has been drawn by the adults in regards to the upper and lower class. The adults have a very black and white thought process when it comes to status. However as we see the children, especially the younger ones have not fully been indoctrinated into this mindset, looking at the world with more of a open mind and more accepting of others.…
