Oxford Houses: A Short Story

“Home is where the heart is.” In The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros develops this famous statement to depict what a “home” really represents. What is a home? Is it a house with four walls and a roof, the neighborhood of kids while growing up, or a unique Cleaver household where everything is perfect and no problems arise? According to Cisneros, we all have our own home with which we identify; however, we cannot always go back to the environment we once considered our dwelling place. The home, which is characterized by who we are, and determined by how we view ourselves, is what makes every individual unique. A home is a personality, a depiction of who we are inside and

In life many people set goals for themselves. For some people it maybe a goal such as obtaining a high test grade and for others it maybe to one day own a race car. Everybody has a different outlook on life and everyone has different goals in which they one day hope to achieve. The people who achieve their goals are those who are motivated and determined to do so. When these goals are achieved it is then when you are a hero to yourself.

Me: Wow, that’s great. I bet your sisters will be excited about Christmas because they expect some good Christmas presents from Chanel. And I’ve been doing great. Getting ready to graduate in May and hoping to get accepted into a PA program for graduate school. Can’t believe I’m almost done with school. FINALLY! The family is doing well, super busy. How about your family?

This week started off pretty slow. Monday I had the opportunity to go on a home visit to a foster home. This has been one of the most interesting visit of all. I went out with Faith, a Family Specialist. This therapeutic foster home housed 3 special needs children. The oldest girl has a diagnosis of Asperger and the youngest children, a girl and boy, have a diagnosis of Autism. They are awesome kids and they have been blessed with delightful foster parents. I just get good vibes whenever I interact with this family.

People started running around frantic making sure that the new future Ashby wives had everything they would need or want once they were brought into their new house. Housemaster Vaughn is said to arrive in less than an hour with the three girls who were rescued out of their miserable lives to be brought into this house that we’ve all called home for most of our lives. All I can think about is this house having something new brought in to change it up a bit. The past couple of weeks the house has been filled with sadness because of Rose getting sicker and sicker, so all we need is something to help take our minds off of it. While we’re finishing filling the rooms with clothes, bedding, and all the makeup and bath supplies the girls would

This chapter is mainly about The Westing house. There was something really off (Suspious) about the house. Otis Amber, Sandy, and other characters were getting on Turtle. Two dollars for every minute she stayed in the house. They were telling tales and, it popped up. The scary tale about the Old Man Westing and the children that died inside of the house. It was a frieghtning tale but it didn't scare Turtle. She wasn't affraid of anything. Theo was the person who was telling the tale. He was very good at telling

Every shift began and ended here inside the Washhouse. Each miner had a numbered basket suspended from the ceiling, with his clothing and toiletries. He lowered his basket, put on his work clothes, and hung his town clothes from the hook. The worker then hauled the basket up to the ceiling, where it stayed warm, dry, and out of reach.

Now I’m actually getting more friends that I could ask for, where everyday I always have a plan to go with my friends somewhere; I finally broke out of my shell after almost a month of trying to. I honestly love this school and I have never felt so productive in my life. Everyday was always another type of day, always something that was new to see. I mean, I love my home, but I love exploring other things more.

I did half of the attendance for the day due to the pile of essays. I was also helping the American History II students with their map of Europe before World War I. There was some confusing, but that was cleared up and hopefully the students will not be confused when the class is going through the chapter. What they currently know about Europe is very different from the 1914. I also received news that I will be sitting in an IEP meeting soon.

Arlen’s initiation festivities at the Center Longhouse had been fun, but the men forced too much ale on the boy, and Taran had the feeling his newest warrior was going to be in for a lot of pain the next day, which is exactly what happened. Arlen turned up for dyke-digging duties with a green face, his eyes half closed, and his hair looked as if someone had left him out in a rainstorm for a sennight. The men paused in their work and howled with laughter, but they understood and gave Arlen easier jobs for the day.

A Manor was a self-sufficient society in which a vassal and his peasants lived and worked. The Lord and his family would live in a manor house, which was the center of life and activity (Nardo 20). A manor house is made similarly to a castle in the way that it was built with great craft (Alchin, "Manor House"). The house was made out of wood such as oak and stone (Alchin, "Manor House"). There was a great hall which included high ceilings and was used as a common space.(Alchin, "Manor House"). Rush Dips, Candles, Torches, and Lanterns were used for light. (Alchin, "Manor House"). There was a chapel to the side and a kitchen made out of tile, and included an oven (Alchin, "Manor House"). And a smaller building which housed dairy (Alchin, "Manor

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend; I'm super excited for the school year to start.

us to visit them and make sure they are well. My brother was only 22

The week was uneventful and friday came fast. I’m on my way to the back-to-school

It 's just another regular day, nothing truly interesting has happened for a little while, which is pretty disappointing but it gives me time to relax. I am getting a feeling that it 's not going to stay like this. Something will happen, hopefully soon, besides that I 'm just talking to Honey and Mori because Hikaru and Kaoru seemed busy, so I decided not to bother them now.
