My Life In My Childhood In The Chronicles Of Narnia

Improved Essays
As a child, I spent most of my time in my mother’s wardrobe. Since I was a very active child, I used to love climbing the cupboards; taking random clothes and accessories (which weren’t mine, by the way) and wearing them. I actually had a lot of fun, but when my mom came back home, she would always find her wardrobe messy and me sitting in the pile of clothes with a sheepish grin. She would just smile at me brightly, and laugh. There were a lot of clothes scattered around the floor, but me and my mom would clean it up very quick. We just folded it nicely and placed it on the shelves. The wardrobe was clean in about five minutes. But unfortunately, all the hard-work was gone to waste, since the next day, the wardrobe was messy once again. I …show more content…
It was closely shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hung all over the walls, falling in heavy folds upon a red carpet of the same material. The wooden cupboards were huge; they reached the ceiling. As I was small, I couldn’t even reach for the handle of the cupboard and open it. I was interested in what was being kept behind those white wooden doors. Was there simply nothing or was a fully different world hiding in the cupboard like in “The Chronicles of Narnia?”
I formulated a plan quickly, and moved a chair to the wardrobe. I climbed the chair and got closer to the handle finally. I finally pulled the door open and the rich odor of my mother’s perfume filled my nose. I loved that smell so much - it was very unique and always reminded me of my beautiful mother. It was a heavy smell of the lilac, or more precisely, the perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
My eyes lit up with excitement as I saw a lot of different clothes: colorful dresses, jackets, trousers, skirts, scarves, and shirts. Even if they were over-sized for me, I still tried all of the outfits on. When I put each outfit on, I felt like a different person each

It was a green strapless dress and I would wear green shoes with white puffs on the toes. Tinkerbell was a fairy, so I never forgot to put the wings on my back. I would pretend that I was a fairy, which was quite a funny sight to see.
I will describe one more favorite outfit of mine, so I won’t bore you to death.
My most favorite outfit is definitely the outfit that my mom wore once. I touched the silky, soft material of an evening dress and pulled it out from the wardrobe. And I found some high heels in the corner, and placed them on. I stumbled a little, but managed to get the hang of it quickly.
I wore the evening dress, high heels - but there was something missing. I completed the outfit by putting on a crown. Now I definitely thought that I resembled my mom. I would run around in that dress happily, I wouldn’t even take it off - even when I damaged the dress a little.
Honestly, the wardrobe is one of my most favourite memories out of my childhood. Whenever guests came over at my house, I would always pull out out a dress from the wardrobe and put it on. Sometimes, I would be a princess. The next time I would be a

    Clothing in 1911 was a huge deal, and the more ruffles one had on one dress made one wealthy, but if one had none or very little one were considered poor. This goes to show how clothing symbolize who one were. Lots of ruffles equaled lots of money but little ruffles equal little money. In the book Uprising by Margaret Haddix, the clothing that everyone wore had a statement.…

    The artwork I chose to imagine is Van Gogh’s famous oil painting called Starry Night. It was painted in June of 1889 and has grown to be known as one of his most famous paintings. Van Gogh was a post-impressionist and painted Starry Night from memory in his apartment. The view is of a village from a window in an asylum. I chose this painting because it has always been hanging in my Aunt’s living room.…

    Shrektastic Shrek The Musical made a leap of faith when it came from the film by Dreamworks to the highest level of commercial theatre; and it stuck the landing. The audience immerses itself in the backstory the witty princess Fiona, and the giant green ogre, Shrek, who is sent to rescue from a dragon-guarded tower in hopes to get his swamp back. The elements that stand out in Shrek The Musical are the costumes, a heavy amount of singing, and the acting, which all appeal to the 75$ price tag.…

    Commencing Unbound A lurid, fuchsia dress with generously powdered glitter and blaring, familiar music danced to by relatives you weren't even aware were relatives are trademarks of the traditional rite of passage into adulthood in my culture and one I never had the pleasure to experience due to my family's financial situation at that time. Still, my own stride into coming of age was too one with renowned garb, although much less garish. Familiar music playing in the background and only my immediate family sat close to the stage in awe to watch me. Graduating from my esteemed high school, Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH), was the omega to the alpha of my future. That experience both humbled me and triggered the tenacity in me to…

    For my McCandless Project I decided to dress up for a day. Here are some of the things I did in order to complete the look: I curled my hair, I wore heels, a skirt, a collared shirt beneath a sweater, and my glasses, and I wore makeup. When people saw me their initial reaction was almost always a smile whether they knew me or not. Following the smile, they would comment something like, "You look so nice today!"…

    The way this dance was, you had to enter the ballroom floor with a specific way of stepping to the beat using your heels, but also like ice skating in a way. Dancing wasn’t as easy as it is now, well for some people. Some other types of dances were Jigs and reels, which as I mentioned before enslaved people and lower class white people would use these methods of dancing, but so did the Virginians. When you would dance “Jigs” it required to only dance with one person and partner, for the “Reels” you could have as much as six people dancing. When it came to teaching and learning the dance, it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.…

As I continued to walk through, I was so excited that I was playing over in my head what toys I would play with first. The Barbie dolls first, then the playhouse, and build a house with Legos.

    Almost every Saturday morning when I was in elementary school, my mother would wake me up for breakfast which usually consisted of cinnamon toast and cereal, I would get dressed in my favorite purple outfit, and pack. I would fill my small book bag with Barbie dolls, coloring books, and the whatever I was reading for school. Before leaving, my mother would make sure to stop by the gas station for snacks and to fill up on gas. We were going on a trip! We were headed to my grandparents’ house forty-five minutes away in Pascagoula, Mississippi; however, it felt like we had to drive for a full day.…

    I enjoy getting dressed up for fancy events. I feel uncomfortable in crop tops that are cropped too much and skirts/shorts that or too short. While I never think too hard when shopping at the mall, it is quite apparent to me that my fashion choices are not actually so personal to me. In fact, the items in my closet can be described as more or less “feminine.” I dress the way I do because it feels comfortable to me.…

    Every Saturday, I distinctly recall the smell of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. The radio would be playing in the background, masked by the overwhelming chatter occurring throughout the house. So many things happening in such a small space: what I remember most, is the sound of laughter, and the smiles that surrounded me. My grandpa hollering because he cannot hear the television, my mother still drowsy from the sleepless night, My grandmother singing to the radio that was barely audible over the commotion, and me, invariably sat looking at all that surrounded me, enthralled at how lucky I was to have a heart so full.…
