Murfreesboro House Recount

Last but not least, Mama and Ruth have the aspiration of living in a new home. The apartment in which they currently reside is small, dark, and handled with care: "the furnishings of this room were actually selected with care and love and hope [. . .]" (988). It is evident that the home is a very important to the Younger family and it is a critical

The house in the story was passed through the family for generations, “We liked the house because apart from being old and spacious, it kept the memories of our great grandparents, our paternal grandfather, our parents, and the whole of childhood,” (Cortazar 37), this shows how truly appreciated this house is to Irene and the Narrator, this then comes too soon show representation of the future scares throughout the story, “How to not remember the layout of that house. The dining room,

The builder of this seventeen room Greek revival mansion was Stephen S. Speakman. In the early 1840s, the elderly Speakman fell in love with a much younger woman, Sarah Bush, whose father owned a slave-holding plantation in Kentucky. Upon asking her hand in marriage, his bride-to-be refused to marry him unless he built her a southern plantation-style mansion. In 1845, with the use of his father-in-law’s slaves, Speakman erected his mansion on a five hundred acre plot next to Loughery Creek with every brick baked on site (Historical Marker Project).

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.

Upon approaching the Oakland Museum of California, it is a slightly larger building than the surroundings, that take the entire block. The futuristic design, with vertical and horizontal metal or cement walls, would make it stand out from the surroundings; but with about more than fifty percent of the exterior covered with tall trees, the building blends in well with other structure around it. The entrance lobby has a wide downward staircase, which surprising since I thought that most of the museum is on a flatter surface. I notice couple students, a middle age lady, some elders, and some guys around twenty to thirty years old. It was a hot afternoon, but it was a cool and calm atmosphere inside the museum. Inside the art gallery room of the

A tour of the historical James Wadsworth Rossetter House at 1320 Highland Avenue, Melbourne shows an interesting sight of old and genuine architecture. The tour starts by going through the main house which was built in the Eau Gallie section of Melbourne in 1859 by John Houston who intended for it to be a plantation. The main house is restored to how it was renovated by James Rossetter in 1904. The tour then goes into the building behind which was built to be a slave shack by Houston but that ended soon after the Civil War. After the house was taken by William Roesch, the back building was converted to a kitchen and had a second floor added. The tour ends by going through the gardens of the house that contain many exotic plants.

I have never been into a museum before but for the first time in United States I visited a museum named Fairfield museum and history center along with my friends which is at 370 beach road, Fairfield, Connecticut. At the Fairfield museum we observe exhibition galleries, research libraries, education center and a theatre with a seating of 80 members.

Looking at the article from a symbolic interactionist perspective, it can be noted Montgomery fails to explain the house is in itself a reflection of the homeowner’s individuality and desire to impress upon the public eye. Erving Goffman would rationalize the house as a mode of presenting the homeowner in the best possible light, this is known as dramaturgical analysis (Brym R, 2013). The home embodies both the homeowners’ public roles and true selves. Notice the privilege in owning a home is subjected to the statuses people occupy that in turn speaks about the role sets they play, but the combination of these social influences is

     The character Marian represents the society that has confined old women to this dismal, neglected home.  Specifically through Marian's thoughts, words, and actions, revealed by the third person partially omniscient narrator, Welty shows how selfishness and indifference can obscure the needs of the less fortunate.

Though I very deeply wanted to attend the either the Kelsey Museum of Archeology or the Natural History Museum in Ann Arbor, I unfortunately was not able to make the trip to either of these fine museums. I was however able to visit the wonder Ella Sharp Museum right here in Jackson. I was skeptical that I would find anything related to the ancient history era or anything else that we had studied at class, I did happen to stumble upon a stunning pair of stained glass window murals!

City scenes flicker by in a blink, followed by a panoramic of suburban life as the camera pans through the town. As fewer and fewer houses are visible, and the emptiness grows, the true remoteness of James family home can be understood. The audience is taken on a journey, not only to locate the home but also to provide a sense of isolation and solidarity within this environment. As we look into the house, we can critically analyse the research that considers how the home is viewed.

We recently visited three different Museums the Titanic in Pigeon Forge, TN, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, TN, and the Museum of Arts in Huntsville, AL. It was an opportunity to discover and experience the wonders of art through my child's eye. Each place allowed us to step back in time, create a masterpiece and admire the many different styles of art on display.

Collins uses the setting of Limmeridge House to undermine the representation of home within the Victorian society, and to foreshadow it as a claustrophobic retreat representing the image of a private asylum.

House & Home is the National Building Museum’s newest long term exhibit, which opened in 2012 to positive public and critical reception. The Washington Post summary and review of the exhibition concludes “House & Home’ does a good job of

The old house, the full house, of that period of her life when she was the Vice-Chancellor’s wife and it the hub of a small but intense busy world, had not pleased her. Its crowding had stifled her.. too many trays of tea would have to be made and carried to her husband’s duty, to her moher-in-law’s bedroom, to the veranda that was the gathering-place for all, at all times of the day. Too many meals, too many dishes on the table, too much to wash up after. (FOM-29-30)
