House Voices Essays

Hi everyone! How are you today? Nice to see all you guys here. Let’s me introduce myself first. My name is Jane Kennedy. I am one of writers of the film ‘The Castle’. I’m sure that everyone has watched ‘The Castle’, right? I’m invited to be here and tell you about this movie as well as how I and my team have built up and shown the ideas about the voice of Australians through it. As you know, everyone including Australians have their own way of understanding and an opinion of the world and people in it. That’s called their ‘voice’. However, the way Australians view and understand the world is unique. Let’s come back to ‘The Castle’, this is a story about the Kerrigan family who together stand up to fight against the government for their

I had returned to my old home, and the house was the same as when I left. Well, on the outside. When I walked inside things were broken, and some things were not even there. I showed the guests around the house and to their

Esperanza is torn between deciding whether she wants to escape Mango Street. She is embarrassed by the superficial appearance of her identity, but appreciates her roots. Her house is a wreck and the neighborhood, probably not much better off. However, she has loving family and friends.

The Latina women in the male-dominated society of The House on Mango Street cannot envision their own autonomy because they are taught to need a man to fulfill their life which allows these women to be easily manipulated. A woman's lack of power in a male-dominated society allows men to manipulate women physically and sexually because their society believes in powerful men and powerless women. Alicia, a women in The House on Mango Street, wants to study and go to school, but cannot because her father expects her to inherit her mother’s role in society as powerless worker in a factory. Her father demonstrates the common traditional views of a male in their male-dominated society. He states, “Anyway, a woman's place is sleeping so she

At one point women were seen to only cook and clean, it was culture and the norm. Although times have changed, and women have expressed their abilities and shown what they can do more and more. Sandra Cisneros shows this in her novella, The House on Mango Street. Cisneros expresses the thoughts and feelings of the main character, Esperanza, and others through multiple vignettes. They grow up in a culture and society that wants them to express who they are not meant to be. Alicia and Esperanza see their personality and skills as a way to freedom. Between these girls and the characters around them, Cisneros shows that education and belief in oneself will beat the path to freedom.

The boy went home and built the box alone, as no one in his family would understand. The machine was constructed of scrap metal from an old 1975 Volkswagen Beetle, the car’s battery, and a makeshift nuclear reactor.

I decided to break the norm of inside voices. I would talk just a tiny bit louder than the usual person. Volume in certain areas is a norm because it’s just the polite thing to talk more quietly when you are in public. This is enforced but getting told to keep your voice down as a child and it’s just something to follow through as you get older; however, when I got the chance, I’d try to talk just a little bit louder than most people. I did this by talking loud in hallways and at games and in class to friends. My hypothesis was that if I talked a little bit louder than the average person then most people would probably just give me a look of judgment because it is something they would find it irritating. Many things could have happened from getting dirty looks from being yelled at to be quiet.

I was traumatized from the event and the thought of the house gave me chills, but I soon found out that I was moving away. Moving away was perfect, I could put the whole experience with the odd neighbor behind me and never think of it again, and I would never have to look at that horrid house again. As we finished packing our things up, we locked the house and went to our car. Staring across the street, I saw an aged African American woman that had many wrinkles on her face that was wearing a fur coat in 70 degree weather. As we drove away, I saw her glance and smirk at me and I was shook the whole ride to our new

Places are more than less often full of memories. Rooms have narratives that can be told through the items and furniture they contain. These narratives are often overlooked and not thought about, especially in places where one does not want to spend a particularly large amount of time. Rooms speak, even though we often don’t want to listen, or don’t want to know. Basements are often like this, full of broken thing and memories, knee-deep castaways, childhood toys and holiday lights. The basement in my childhood home is this way, completely divided into then and now; simply, entirely, depressing.

My house contains many memories of my childhood is where I grew up, I know every part of it and its secrets locations. When I was a child I used to hide in the attic, nobody would found me because no one knew where it was. Every time I enter my house I get a feeling of welcoming and comfort, leaving the house would make me sad. I celebrated many things like birthdays, baptisms and graduations, it means everything to me. It’s a huge piece that gives me safety and protects me from the rain, sun and winter. My house also has protected me from the outside world and violence. I don’t think I would ever want to move out, the walls have many scars from crayons and holes. The floor needs remodeling but

My grandmother’s house has a very special place in my heart. As the family has gotten older and we have all had our own children we do not visit as we should. I visited with my grandmother many times when I was little. Her house always seemed to have something about it that set it apart from all the rest. As you walk into the back door of her house you would notice a long, narrow kitchen that led into the main living and dining room of her house. The smell of food home cooked food was quite evident. Grandmother cooked every day and always cooked big meals on holidays for the family.

During the two years I lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, I passed by Monticello everyday on my way from home to school; I finally went up there to visit right before I left the town. Weaving through the giant plantation around it, the shuttle took us from the foot of the mountain to the hilltop, where the house rested. The house was relatively small compared to the size of the field surrounding it. Through several preservation and minor renovation, the floor we stepped on was still the original. I remembered walking under the house and circling back through all the servants’ facilities. All the dependencies were built into the side of the mountain in a U shape. (Figure 6 &7) As for the main house for Jefferson and his family, the plan of the house showed that several rooms, especially the parlor, were hexagons, for maximizing daylight in the house, which followed the “rounded world” concept in the Pantheon. Also related to this sense, the “front” of the house were never defined. “As in Jefferson 's day, visitors today enter through the columned portico of the East Front into the Entrance Hall.” West entrance is more private use for family and guests. But despite the function of the two entrance, there was no clear frontality or a single façade that dominated the house.
