The Wood Pile Essay

Rockwall to Crandall was a day I’ll never forget. It was a strange couple of days. The day we moved was extremely saddening. My parents had packed everything. EVERYTHING. There was bareness on the walls and there was around us except piles and piles of boxes. I looked around the house one last time as cold salty tears streaked down my face. I was covered in tears from the waist up. The feeling of leaving everyone made me empty inside. I felt hollow. Finally my dad said, “Let’s go!” I pleaded

Johnny, and Gat are planning to start the fire. The plan was simple. We would find the spare jugs of gas, the ones kept in the shed for the motorboats. There were newspapers and cardboards in the mudroom: We’d build piles of recycling and soak those in gasoline. We'd soak the wood floors as well. Stand back, light a paper towel roll and throw it.

I found this place in second grade while exploring the woods. That’s when it became my hideout. I think and I breathe here. I’m mad at my mom who made the decision to get married. Why didn’t I have any input? I don’t even like this guy. His jokes are horrible and he’s irresponsible. Once, my mom couldn’t

Introduction: In this study I looked into the physical locations surrounding the home I grew up in. I analyzed the tree growth, pattern and conditions of the roads, and observed the formation of houses in my area. This research is important because it shows how people in rural central Maine live. While studying these locations, I was able to practice and hone my observation skills that will become useful when completing my ethnographic study later in the semester. As an ethnography is described,

a washing machine, but we did have foot tubs and a scrub board for washing clothes. Another way we lived off the land was cutting wood for the wood stove, this was our source of heat that was used in the house. On those cold winter days one will never forget getting up in the early mornings, half to go out and get wood from the wood pile and start a fire in the wood stove.
