The Corner House

broken-down house, I expect this passage to be about how no one ever takes the time to slow down and just enjoy the simpler things in life the way our grandparents did. 2. The passage that stood out the most to me was the paragraph that went, “ I stopped taking pictures as the thoughts of children ran across the porch, playing tag as they ran barefoot. I saw a woman in the corner, sewing clothes to wear to church. . . . No technology, no electricity, and no water demanded a slower life at this house.” This

began to profusely sweat and get colder. I turned to my right and there was a house which didn't seem to have anybody living in it. The house was caked in grime and some windows weren't quite right. They were off center and even some were boarded up, only leaving the slimmest of crawlers to struggle to get through. The overgrown branches covered the doorway leading in as if it was warning me to stay away. Some say the house hadn’t been lived in for seven years and as people walk by they can hear noises

"Bauhaus" is a German expression, which is meaning house for building, or we can say Construction House. The economy in Germany was declining after a crushing war in 1919. This school includes design, architecture, and applied arts that existed in Germany. Walter Gropius was the founder of the Bauhaus school. Architects in this school wanted to use basics of classical architecture in their most pure form functional, without decoration of any kind. The Bauhaus school originated in Weimar, Germany

waiting for me, but they should know by now that it is next to impossible to get me out the door on time. I’m surprised my mom hasn’t set back all the clocks in the house by ten minutes yet.

even in her favorite spot in the corner of the gym where she likes to draw... Eventually, when William searched all over the school , he went to Margot’s homeroom teacher and asked her, “Where is Margot,” in a calm voice. She replied with, “She’s absent today, why?” “I have a gift for her about something from yester…. I mean from an incident, we had a couple weeks ago that's all.”

leaped off the bus, skipping the last few steps. Ella carefully climbed down the stairs behind me; as our bus driver waved goodbye, closing the creaky, metal doors with a “whirr, clang.” We watched as bus 93 glided around the corner, and disappeared. Placid, little houses towered over us, my younger sister and I, as we began to stroll down the sidewalk. Stopping in front of each crack in the cement, I paused and dramatically hopped over the trench. Beating, golden rays had long since melted the

In the novella, there are two doors. One leads to Dr. Jekyll’s house, and the other leads to Mr. Hyde’s lab. “One house, however, second from the corner, was still occupied entire; and at the door of this, which wore a great air of wealth and comfort,” this quote about Dr. Jekyll’s house represents the good and clean part of mankind (12). Mr. Hyde’s house is described as sinister, like Mr. Hyde. His house has two stories,no windows, his door has no bell or knocker, and is described

When he heard him mention that his folks might be worried, the corners of Lawrence's mouth turned a bit downwards. "You're right. I don't need people that care about me to be troubled. They might not know that I found shelter," he admitted, partly to himself. He didn't want to go home and walk up on his own funeral.

I stood in the corner of the room observing the chaos around me. The red and blue lights flooded the once empty, quiet street. Paramedics rushed into my house as my mom sat on the stairs trying to breathe. My brother, still holding the phone he had used to call 911, watched my mom intently.The commotion from my little sister’s cries to the paramedics faded to the background. My heart still pounding from the journey to my neighbor’s house in search for help. “Everything is going to be okay,” my neighbor

Every time a family gets out of a house safe, I breathe a breath of fresh air in relief. And whenever someone else doesn’t get out safe, I get a chill down my spine and I just think about what could’ve happened to them in there... But it was this particular day that scared me to death. The monitors got a call from a little girl. She sounded only 5 or 6. She said that her whole family would’ve died if we couldn’t come quick enough. When we arrived at the house, the air filled with smoke and our other
