I like how Stuart Woods planned his lifestyles. I also want to own my multiple homes so I can control my environment whenever I want to. Even though I am not too strict as him, I also have a certain requirement. I really don’t like a messy home so my room always has to be clean and organized. I even didn’t like to share my bathroom with my sister because she can’t clean up her own room. I want all my make up products face front and gaps between them should be equal. My dress room also must be organized by style, color, and texture. My pen and pencils shouldn’t be up side down or mixed with any other colors. I am not too picky but if my personal spaces (room, bathroom, and dress room) are messy, I can’t do
On June 26, 2015, Mr. Steve Gerecke, an Albuquerque, New Mexico resident, confronted six youths allegedly attempting to burglarize his home after gaining access through the garage with a remote control removed from his wife’s car. The group of youth appeared to have been the same roving mob reported earlier to the police. Witnesses and police reports complained of burglarized homes and cars with the removal credit cards, cellphone, keys, and other valuables. In addition to the burglaries, the group allegedly committed grand the auto. Upon the confrontation of Mr. Gerecke and the youth, an escalation of bravado ensued. At this time, one of the youth armed with pistol, shot Mr. Gerecke multiple times killing him in the driveway of his home. Well
The third article to be analyzed in this assignment is Glenn Feldman's Home and Hearth discusses the function of the women in the Klan. He focuses on the direct work on the relationship between females and Klan members. Although, women did not have many rights in the South and they did not have a formal membership, they played an important role. The importance was shown especially when it came to religious and secular life. They had to shape and carry out the Ku Klux Klan's program, and educate the children, the next generation. Women had to take care of the spiritual welfare of the family and the Klan.
Scott Russell Sanders writes in the passage, Making a Home in a Restless World, “Stand still, we are warned, and you will die”, demonstrating the stereotypical mindset of many Americans (Sanders 17). The passage written by Scott Russell Sanders is a response to Rushdie about the ongoing debate on whether moving or migration is beneficial or damaging towards America. Rushdie who left his Native India for England believes that it is extremely valuable for migrants to make a “new imaginative relationship with the world because of the loss of familiar habits”, insinuating that moving is valued (Sanders 47). While Scott Russell Sanders believes the contrary. He believes that when we finally decide to settle in we will make a more durable home for ourselves. In the passage, Making a Home in a Restless World, the author Scott Russell Sanders utilizes the rhetorical appeal of emotional pathos as well as the rhetorical device of hasty generalization so that he can stress his perspective on migration.
Most people define home as a comfortable setting which provides love and warmth. In Scott Sanders “Homeplace” and Richard Ford’s “I Must Be Going” the concept of home is defined in two different ways. Sanders believes that by moving from place to place, the meaning of home has been diminished. Sanders believes that America’s culture “nudges everyone into motion” (Sanders 103) and that his “longing to become an inhabitant rather than a drifter” (103) is what sets him apart from everyone else. Ford prefers to stay on the move. His argument is life’s too short to settle in one place. He believes home is where you make it, but permanence is not a
Russel Wright is an American industrial designer and architect that lived during the early to mid twentieth century. Many of Wright’s ideas and designs were considered to modern at time, drawing influences from not only ingenious designers like Frank Lloyd Wright but nature as well. Wright’s influences would lead him to create a design style unlike any at the time; a style that would eventually become almost standard in many homes in the United States. The designer Russel Wright and his wife, Mary Wright together published a guidebook known as Guide to Easier Living. In it contains numerous suggestions and thoughts on home architecture, interior design, as well as product design. Many of the thoughts and suggestions conveyed in the book can be seen in present-day design and architecture. Wright’s book also laid the groundwork for his home, Dragon Rock, which of itself possesses elements of design that are seen in today’s homes. Russel Wright’s Guide to Easier Living is clearly a response to interior design at the time; containing numerous design ideas, Wrights guide influences Wright’s own future works.
When Sairy Wilson said, “You shouldn’t talk like that. We’re proud to help. I ain’t felt so – safe in a long time. People needs to – help.” Fellowship is another major theme within this novel as well. The cooperation found in the Joad family extends past blood relationships to other Oakies as well. The friendly support among the Oakies is essential to all of the Oakies survival, including the Joad’s.
Many Americans find the idea of moving to a new place very attractive. However, many repercussions come with it. In Scott Russell Sanders’ passage "Making a Home in a Restless World," he portrays emotions and dangers as barriers to migration to develop his perspective that moving is an idea with many negative consequences. Emotions play a crucial role in connecting with someone. By appealing to a reader's emotions, a writer can strengthen the connection between the text and the reader.
The most positive part of my shadowing at Exotic Home Designs was the fact that we started pretty much from scratch with an ugly bare house and turned it into something amazing. I never realized that you could take something so bland and dreary and turn it into a masterpiece. The color schemes matched the house exquisitely and made the overall feel amazing. In my shadowing experience, I am glad to report that there were no disappointments. I did find out though that even though I always knew it is a lot of work I didn't expect it would be as much work as it turned out to be. The thing is though nothing that is as beautiful as art gets done without some sort of hard work. If I had to give advice to future seniors about to experience the same
It was the Saturday before the last week of first grade and my family and I were attending a kickstart into summer barbecue at Scott Shaw’s house. Accompanied by my mother, father, brother, and my father’s 20 plus mountain biking, “crunchy granola” friends and spouses, we all arrived with summer’s approaching warmth on our faces. Everyone shoveling food into their mouths, playing ping pong, pool and swimming, everything was going smoothly.
One of the hardest things about moving to Little Rock for college is knowing that I will not get to enjoy southern home cooked meals everyday. My grandma’s crispy pork chops with fried potatoes, and creamy macaroni and cheese and freshly picked green beans, from the garden in the backyard, or her homemade vegetable soup and buttered cornbread really screams my name as I stand in line for a standard cafeteria meal. Not having her cooking available to me everyday is definitely a struggle. Food is the center of my whole family. Food is what brings us together. Not just ordinary food though, no. It is southern home cooked food.
Part of my identity is that I always have to have my things nicely organized and when my things aren’t organized it bothers me. I find that when I’m not organized I misplace everything and I have a terrible memory so it’s difficult for me to recall where I left whatever I misplaced. In order to avoid this, I keep myself as organized as possible. Being organized is a bit hard when it comes to sharing a room with Jenna, who is NOT organized at all.
Since the fall semester last year, I have been living in a dorm room during the spring and fall semesters. This has been my first time living somewhere other than my parents’ house. Our room is set up so that my roommate and I have our own bedrooms and share a bathroom. We also share a living room with two other people. One of the most substantial changes is that I feel like I have more privacy. At my parents’ house I didn’t have a lock on my bedroom door, so my parents or my brother could just walk in at any time. Now in my dorm room, I can just lock my door and I do not have to worry about anyone coming in. Another change is my parents used to tell me I need to clean my room or make my bed, but now I can set up my room however I want without having to worry. My parents also used to do most of the cleaning around the house and always had things like cleaning supplies or medicine, but now I take care of that, so it makes it feel more like my own area that I look after. Even though I had my own bedroom, it still always felt like I was living in my parents’ house, but now it really
Not to her surprise she learned I could not live with anything being off, bent, the wrong size, not color coordinated. I was OCD and I still am, and will always be, owheel. Being OCD makes satisfaction next to impossible. However, when I am pleased with my accomplishments they are nothing less outstanding than a view atop a mountain, and it’s always smooth sailing from there, or at least until I find another room in need of a cleaning. My bedroom always seems to be in that category, whether it be because the scarfs got out of the designated order, of my tanktops did not get placed in the right drawer, there always appears to be something, not quite in the right spot. However, I continue the think its worth. In part because of the praise I receive, like any normal mother, my mom, finds my obsession unhealthy, probably why it's a disorder, never the less, her draw dropping and admiration for my measured out necklace hooks, when she walks into my room keeps me motivated. Plus, in the early hours of the morning, such a nine thirty, I am occanaily challenged to get ready in a short 45 minutes. However thanks to my organization, I know exactly where all wardrobe pieces and accorisory are. If I feeling in a nazy kinda mood I know, my nazy pattern shorts are in the left top drawer of me drewer, the complementary tank top is hanging up
All of our lives, we've been told to stay organized. Organization has always been linked to success and less stress. Whether at home or at school organization is something that has been taught to almost everyone since we were born. So which is better? A clean room or a messy room. Some would say that a clean room is better than a messy room. I disagree with that statement. While a clean room does have it's advantages a messy room helps you flourish in mind and soul. Sure, the state of your room may represent how your mind works but disorderliness isn't always bad. There are 2 types of messy: cluttered or just dirty. While clutter shows personality and possibly creativity, a dirty room is very negative and is not helpful in any way. Disorderly rooms looks bad to the people who don't own them but the people who made it that way feel at home when in their room. Consider this from Albert Einstein, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what are we to think of an empty desk?” He looked unkempt and was reportedly messy in his personal life, but was certainly a creative genius. Einstein wasn't alone. Mark Twain, too, had a cluttered desk. Perhaps even more cluttered than that of Albert Einstein. Mark Twain was one of the most imaginative minds of his generation.One university got a bunch of students to sleep in specific rooms half messy and half clean. After a few days in the dorms the research conductors asked the students to give ideas on how to decorate a ping
Furthermore, the reason why I loved my house so much is because I had my own room. As a child I had to share rooms with my sister in a 8 broom house filled with my family until my mother decided
