Clapboard

Nobody wants to work for nothing, but many painting businesses do when they don't charge for all the things that are part of each job. If you intend to do a complete job, and your customer is asking for a complete job, then you should be charging for a complete job. Leave something off of the estimate and you are working for nothing. Doing a complete and thorough estimate involves everything that takes time whether it be screwing that switch plate cover back on or painting the altar in that church

By Saturday afternoon, the eighty-seven residents of the rural southern town of Wrongberight have suffered through four days of intense intermittent rainstorms. And to add to their misery another storm approaches the town from the northeast. Now, Clemmy Sue Jarvis since birth has lived here and has a simple philosophy concerning weather. As long as the almighty man upstairs allows her to draw a breath, she will enjoy life, regardless of the weather. At four o’clock, she lifts her petite frame into

English colonists decided on a site for their settlement they quickly set to work, as Thomas Abby tells us, "Now falleth every man to worke, the Councell contrive the Fort, the rest cut downe trees to make place to pitch their Tents; some provide clapboard to relade the ships, some make gardens, some nets, &c. The Salvages often visited us kindly(Tyler, 123)." The "Salvages" Abby speaks of, were most likely members of one of the Algonquian tribes which occupied the country near Jamestown. These

In 1921 at the age of thirty-nine years old Franklin Delano Roosevelt contracted polio after he swam in the water at a Boy Scout Camp. Shortly afterwards, George Foster Peabody told the New York Governor Roosevelt a story about a young polio victim who was cured by swimming in the year round 88 degree Fahrenheit water at Warm Springs, Georgia (Minchew, 2003). President Roosevelt visited Warm Springs forty-one times, first arriving in 1924, and he continued to visit at least once a year during his

Bartoleme de Las Casas seems to contradict his own statement when he says that even though the Indians are barbarians, they do not necessarily need to be ruled by others. He defends this statement by pointing out that they are not inhuman or bestial. “... bound together in common fellowship, lived in populous cities in which they wisely administered the affairs of both peace and war justly and equitably.” Las Casas is pointing out ways in which the natives are equal to if not better in some ways

Chameleons use camouflage to replicate their surrounding environment in order to disguise themselves from their malicious predators. They can change into various patterns or colors depending on the severity of the danger they are faced with. In fact, a chameleon can mask itself into a rock so that their predator cannot distinguish between themselves and the rock. Chameleons can mimic various objects, making them appear to be something they are not. Sometimes, things appear to be one thing, when in

Jake Fontaine didn't want to visit the ranch—didn't want to voice the words, but he trudged up the steps to his grandfather's porch, the rough-hewn planks echoing his arrival. Near the front door, two spit-bottom chairs leaned against the clapboard siding. He hesitated and removed his hat. The sweltering July breeze fanned his bloodstained shirt, and its sickly sweet stench stabbed at his guilt. The door swung open and Gramps, his silver-streaked hair ruffling above his ears, stepped outside. "From

“THE CHEROKEE”      This report will examine the interaction and effects of the European culture clashing with the Native American culture when these new people [Europeans] came to a land and decided to take what they thought was theirs. Discussed will be who these people were and are, their way of life, and how they lived then and now.

man to whom technology means the most, turns to the aged inventor in hopes of pushing technology even further. The visit to Rotwang is like a visit to the past: his house is the only edifice we see that is in no way modern (in fact it has such a clapboard appearance when held against the rest of Metropolis that ir

to death. Cormac McCarthy’s award winning novel, The Road, if full of symbols and important motifs. A specific symbol found on page 21 describes the world in which the father and son are forced to live in. “They trucked along the blacktop. Tall clapboard houses. Machinerolled metal roofs. A log barn in a field with an advertisement in faded ten-foot letters across the roofslope. See Rock City.” These little fragmented sentences are
