Occupant Room Analysis

In the short story, "The Pedestrian," by Ray Bradbury, Bradbury uses imagery to depict a society where people are addicted to technology and warns about the loss of energy, life, and humanity that come with this way of living. Bradbury illustrates this by describing tomb-like houses. When Leonard Mead walks down the street, he describes the picture as such, "... the cottages and homes with their dark windows... it was not unequal to walking through a graveyard... there were whisperings and murmurs where a window in a tomb-like building was open." (Bradbury 1). The imagery in this quote helps the reader conjure up a scene where everyone is "trapped" in their houses, watching T.V., and technology has all but turned their house into a tomb. In

1. “It was the details of the building that gave him the most pleasure… There would be a large basement with hidden chambers and a subbasement for the permanent storage of sensitive material… He could hardly imagine the pleasure that would full his days when the building was finished and flesh-and-blood women moved among its features. As always, the thought aroused him” (67).

A Room With a View by E.M. Forster is a classic tale about a girl from Elizabethan era England trying to find independence and purpose in the world. Lucy, the novel’s main character, embarks on a journey to Florence, Italy with her cousin during which her whole perspective is refreshed. She experiences many new things and shares exciting times with people she knows and meets, and feels like a new person from it. But, when she arrives back home in England, she begins to feel the enclosure of society back on her again. Florence is a place where she can be herself, and her home on Summer Street in England is a place where she feels the full force of class restriction.

On Wednesday, at approximately 8:24AM, I, Officer Larry Thomas (206), responded to the Central Building Room 413-4A , in reference to a code blue medical call.

“Wooden floors were an unknown luxury. In a single room were huddled, like cattle, ten or a dozen persons, men, women, and children. We had neither bedsteads nor furniture of any description. Our beds were collections of straw and old rags, thrown down in the corners and boxed in with boards; a single blanket the only covering.”

A review of the house itself suggests that an architectural hierarchy of privacy increases level by level. At first, the house seems to foster romantic sensibilities; intrigued by its architectural connotations, the narrator embarks upon its description immediately--it is the house that she wants to "talk about" (Gilman 11). Together with its landscape, the house is a "most beautiful place" that stands "quite alone . . . well back from the road, quite three miles from the village" (Gilman 11). The estate's grounds, moreover, consist of "hedges and walls and gates that lock" (Gilman 11). As such, the house and its grounds are markedly depicted as mechanisms of confinement--ancestral places situated within a legacy of control and

Along the Little Miami river lays an unincorporated community called Kings Mills, Ohio. To put it into perspective this community lies less than a mile east of Kings Island, the renowned amusement park. Kings Mills is home to many urban legends, spook stories, and haunts. Many of which can be googled however, this one cannot.

We can learn about the personal beliefs of these people through the excavation of buildings erected on the site. As noted earlier, astronomy was a clear influence on architecture. Religion and community dynamics were brough fourth following the discovery that not all buildings were for residential use. Rather for spiritual and communal use (Munson, Bates and Nordby, 45).

Nonetheless, I found the Pico mansion to be quaint, surrounded by growing grapes and many other native plants, like rosemary, agave, and lavender, along with pillars and skilled crafted objects by the family, perhaps, directly tied to their Mexican, Spanish, African and Italian roots. “The Adobe is built of thousands of earthen blocks. The fact that most of the walls are original is a testament to the skill of the” masons who built it. Inside the dwelling are many multicultural items pertaining to early Christianity, family-portraits and tools used for farming. The old wood and block structure brings forth a sense of achievement by a man whose long

In the novel A Room with a View there are two main settings that not only contrast in location but also in atmosphere. The author, E.M. Forster uses Florence, Italy and Summer Street, England to exaggerate the differences in the main character’s state of mind influenced by the people and places around her. The restricting culture of early 1900 Europe in which the story takes place also plays a role in the varying settings as the author strives to convey his purpose.

The essay I decided to fix was the very first essay, Favorite Room. The reason I decided to fix the Favorite Room essay was because of all the rules I broke. When I wrote the paper, I had several mistakes which involved words ending in ing. The problem with sentences which end in ing is the sentence becomes a sentence fragment. In the first draft I did for the essay most of my sentences were sentence fragments because of the ing problem. The reason the sentences were all sentences fragments was because all of the sentences I had with an ing word, those sentences started with an ing word. The sentence would have a predicate and a verb in the sentence which creates the fragment. An example of the old essay sentence would be, “standing in the

In the breifing room, one thing I did that helped support my team’s position was representing my team as our spokes person. In our team, we looked at each idndividual’s memo and then we underlined anything that was valuable in each others memo’s and would be benifical in the speech. When I went up to speak for our group, I took the sentences that were underlines and created a speech out of thrm to present to the president in favoe of our team. I think this heped my team’s position because I tied our points together and was able to form something out of them.

Within the novel A Room with a View, E. M. Forster explores the differences between 2 social classes. A young woman of upper class by the name of Lucy Honeychurch has traveled from a luxury estate in England to Italy where she will unlock new characteristics of herself. What Lucy did not know was that on her trip her world would take a complete 180-degree turn towards a perspective that is distinctly different than what she is taught to believe. Italy allows Lucy to meet impactful and influential people, such as the Emersons and Mrs. Lavish, who encourage to explore her mind and question her preconceived notions regarding both her place in society and individual desires for happiness.

The Mexican tile roofs jump out at your eyes, until the gorgeous iron gates of other estates snatch your attention. I can at times be overwhelmed with the feast before my eyes. My favorite structure by far is the towering ruins of the old sugar plantation. The words ruins, sugar, and plantation alone are enough to conjure up the most fascinating stories within ones imagination. I can see the bones of an age past; still standing before me to mourn, and dream about. I live in a grouping of villas where a restaurant and pool facilities are being constructed. I smell fresh sawn mahogany as the carpenters make bars, counters, and doors. I hear stone masons chipping at tiles, and the scraping sounds as they pull out the mortar to lay them.
