Home Along A Busy Road

Sun Parlor, a fictional story teaching readers the importance of treasuring great things rather than keeping them to yourself, rather than being worried about ruining its caliber, has a depressing tone. Throughout this story, you can start to see a gradual incline of disappointment by this magical room. For instance, “she was in the hospital ten days. When she was ready to come home to convalesce, we turned the sun parlor into a sickroom, for the stairs to the upper story were forbidden to her. At night we who, when she slept upstairs, would talk family talk back and forth from our beds far into the night, without her we were now quiet, not wanting our voices to wake her if she was asleep, knowing her recovery depended on rest and quiet. But at night she slept fitfully. The sleeping house and separation from the flock were unbearable.”( West,1984,p.494)This passage from the story describes the downhill of events happening especially because of this room. The lapse of the narrator’s aunt shows us that the tone of this essay is probably going to be somewhat emotional. Next, though I don’t know the year this story took place, I know that the setting was in the family’s house. “We lived in a beautiful house. The reason I knew that is because all my mother’s friends said so, and brought their other friends to see it. On the day appointed for the tour, which included inspection of every room on every floor, my mother would gather us around her and say in her gentlest

The room is “shrouded”(dead people are often shrouded in a sheet) in black velvet and is decorated with black decorations>>> black is often used to symbolize death

The 7 rooms are organized in colors, blue, purple, green, orange, white, violet, and black. They all include stained window panes with the color of the according to the rooms, the only difference is the black room that involves blood red panes. The black room is also the one room that nobody wants to walk in, because of the black walls, the lighting makes the room look ghoulishly dark. The people believe that the room is “haunted,” or is the room of death itself.“But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produces a wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set within its precincts at all”(2). ffcdxsezzwszwszswwsaaasaThe horror factor is that they actually run into this black room to get away from the figure, but end up dying in it. Furthermore, the room is black and described as blood red which is an iconic description of fear or horror.

One time, Richard’s son Dick was sleeping alone in the mansion with only his dog, Shadow, a Doberman pinscher for company. Both Shadow and Dick woke up to a loud bang outside his bedroom door. When they went to look for the intruder, there was nobody in the house. Another time, Dick was closing up the restaurant along with another employee when they heard the distinctive sound of two keys being played on the piano inside the empty

The midnight sky is pitch black with only a slight gleam of light emanating from the moon. The night is so silent that even a pin drop could be heard from miles away. No one is stirring and the world has drifted off into a deep sleep. The night seems blissfully peaceful. But the silence is torn by the sound of rustling leaves in the distance. Two dark shadows emerge from the forest and gaze heavily at the sleeping house. The two figures slowly creep towards the house with devious thoughts racing through their minds. They begin to tear open the window screen and quietly crawl into the house. A flashlight pierces through the darkness and flutters through the rooms. The figures begin to rummage through the house and fill their hands with wealth.

The building is big and the inside is like a maze and it is very creepy. The building has been there for more than 60 years, but still has some of the furniture that was used in the rooms, lobby, offices, and kitchen. Some of the rooms and furniture is still in good shape and could still be used and the building is in good shape general. The outside of the house has a round drive way, a lawn, a cemetery, and stairs that lead up to the door of the building. The building is very big with lots of windows, but not a lot of doors there also is a forest surrounding it. The basement was used for storage and held records of the girls who stayed

To begin with, the definition of shadow is very important to this story. Shadow as a noun means a dark figure or likeness cast upon the ground, but it can also be a

What remains of the family that used to live in the house are their shadows as they died

After Harper’s arrival, the two began decorating the living and kitchen spaces with mixed furniture and knickknacks from the Hertel district (Queenseyes, 2007) giving it an authentic home-like vibe. Addie’s house is a two-bedroom, modern Victorian-style townhouse. The exterior, painted burgundy, with white trimmings around the roof and windows, has a small accented porch in the front of the house. The home can almost mirror that of the houses on Trinity Place, that according to LaChiasa (2002), is a narrowly hidden and overlooked area of Allentown whose quaint, Victorian inspired variances remain missed by those who are unaware of its existence.

Guests have claimed to have heard footsteps when no one was there. Others have alleged waking up with mysterious bruises, and still others say that they experienced a room they were in suddenly turning cold, presumably when a spirit entered their presence.

In addition to its six other rooms, Prince Prospero’s acropolis includes a dark room which represents a death room. In this mysterious space, there is a clock tower that chimes hourly with a ‘dull, heavy, monotonous clang’, causing its audience to pause. The guests would stand at a standstill in confusion as to why they were doing so. Poe states that ‘the giddiest grew pale’ and that after the echoes of the chiming passed there was ‘a light laughter’. The partygoers knew that something peculiar was occurring and sensed that it meant a foreboding fate. However, the partygoers brushed it off each hour after the same situation occurred. This further creates suspense and the sense of foreshadowing of the partygoers

I was in a driving education class one year, and my dad helped me drive outside of the class. He instructed me to drive like him, by following his instructions. One thing he taught me was to pull to the side of the road that I would turn on. This applied to residential driving. For instance, if I were to turn right, I would maneuver the car to the right side of the road. There were times when I would do this when turning left, because that’s what he instructed me to do. This was practice for my driving exam the next day, and thus, I acquired the behavior he had modelled for years.

The cave people come up with names and stories for these shadows as they move. They believe that the shadows are real. One day a man is freed from the bonds, and sees that the statues and fire are the sources of the shadow people. Then he is dragged out of the cave, and forced into the real world. He sees the trees,

My curiosity taking over, I stood up, with difficulty, and stumbled over to the beam of light when a dark shadow moved in the corner of the room, as if it had been watching me.

During my investigation, I was able to determine that a subject(s) made entry onto the property by climbing a fence on the west side of the residence. The subject(s) broke the sliding door leading into a bedroom on the far west side of the residence. During a quick inventory with Stevenson, I discovered that a jewelry box of vintage jewelry and an approximately amount of 20 pieces of handmade jewelry (estimated of an approximate value of $1500.00) was removed from the property.
