The Other House

Ever since I was three, sitting in church pews with other kids from Sunday School, I had been hearing the sermons and conversations of the “big kids” at my church and how they all had so much fun and were changed so greatly by the experience, and I set my heart on going. When a couple of the leaders came

siblings pile into the car and go driving around. I had no clue what they were doing until they pulled up to a house with a “For Sale” sign mounted in the front yard. It hit me that they were actually planning on moving somewhere. Weeks passed with them discussing things and I sat worried in my room. My mom got all of our attention one day, “Children, we are going to go look at a house today everyone get ready!” I approached her and said, “Like on the inside?” She said, “Yes.” I quickly put on reasonable

The blinding light of the new day woke me up through the same window as it had for the past three months. The same room, the same bed and the same house I have been waking up to for so long waited for me to rise for the day ahead. Everyone around knew what was happening. It had been long anticipated by everyone in the facility. It is known around here as “Freedom Day”. No longer will I be trapped and helpless or be told what my every action will be (well at least not by anyone here). I am crossing

Mama does express her opinion throughout the story but only in times where her daughters depend on her. If mama’s outlook on life were to be portrayed in a quote

physically but also mentally scarred. The way the burning house, her stuck-up sister, and society affects Maggie makes her different from everyone else. Maggie was so traumatized from her house burning down that she became a timid and under appreciated little girl. Maggie is so self conscious that her mom says she walks like a dog run over by a car: “chin on chest, eyes on ground, feet in shuffle, ever since the fire that burned the other house to the ground.” This

After breakfast was over my mom went to the front yard and started to water her plants and flowers everything seemed to be ok in that moment, but then the front door was left open and the next thing I knew was my dog molly running outside of the house. In that moment everything seemed to go by so fast, I was out the door running after molly and my mom was yelling after me, I don’t remember what she said but I ran across the street to the neighbor’s yard. I thought I could catch her there and bring

After a long and confusing day, we headed back to the house and thought about all the adventures to come. The next few days were full of time at the beach and experiencing many new things. Ernie took us to almost every place in town. The first spot we went to was the local grocery store to get food that we could make at the house. The grocery store was so full of people that it looked like a shopping mall on Black Friday. I saw many bizarre

Many authors try to focus on one thing in their works, and some do succeed. However, others try to bring out multiple faces of life through their creativity and styles of writing. In the Romantic period of American literature, several ink slingers bring out specific motifs in their works. Edgar Allen Poe in his collection, “The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Tales”, writes in a form that betrays the Romantic style with his use of symbolism and his focus on the individual in his short stories

Deceiving others is not always done with ill intentions. Saving your life or someone else’s is enough for some to lie to those that are close to them. Such is seen in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. In Ibsen’s drama, the protagonist, Nora Helmer lies to her husband in order to illegally acquire money for a trip that saves him from depression and potential death. Nora deceives her husband because during the Victorian era, women were not allowed the same rights as men, so she had no legal means by which
