Windsor Chair Research Paper

Improved Essays
I am a Windsor chair. I saw many troubling events while sitting in one stationary place for most of my life. I vaguely recall being born somewhere in Berkshire, England. Judging by my name, my origin must have a great symbol for I am stationed in the castle walls of Windsor. Specifically, I was placed by the roaring fire in the great hall. A day does not pass when I am being sat on from a tired young woman who is resting from a dance or from a diplomatic man who is conversing with the king. I belong to no one except the kings and queens who use my station for the pleasure of nobles that visit the castle.

    Straight-backed, uniformed wait staff crisscrossed the floor of City Hall’s ballroom. With silver trays held aloft, they glided effortlessly through the crowd, their blank expressions cleverly masking the tedium of serving champagne and hors d'oeuvres to equally bored guests. Dozens of white-clothed tables adorned with elaborate arrangements of hydrangeas and magnolias gave refuge to the honored attendees who were either too tired or too disinterested to mingle with the men and women gathered in cliques throughout the room.

It was the party event of the year, and for the mayor’s wife, the soirée was an opportunity to gain the enviable reputation of perfect hostess; for her guests, it was a grandiose display of autocratic superiority.…

It’s safe to say that my horse, Chance, and I are inseparable, we adventure everywhere together from the sweet smelling Knaebe’s Apple Farm to the rocky beach of the roadside park on Grand Lake. However the day in the crystal clear, sky blue water of Lake Avalon was the utmost best of them all.…

    It is difficult for some people to go against the beliefs of the majority, especially when a topic is considered too controversial to challenge. In Margaret Atwood’s “My Last Duchess”, this happens to be the case for her female protagonist when her class studies a poem by Robert Browning that is also titled “My Last Duchess”, in which a Duke had his Duchess killed for his own selfish reasons. Unexpectedly, the young girl’s interpretation of the Duke is vastly different from the rest of her class, thereby leading her to struggle with having a contentious opinion in addition to dealing with the realities of womanhood and teenage relationships. The purpose of Robert Browning’s poem, “My Last Duchess”, in Margaret Atwood’s short story of the same…
