Kids Should Not Be Able To Play In The Abandoned House

Decent Essays
In my neighborhood there is an abandoned house. The windows and other parts of the house are broken and literally falling apart. My friends have been sneaking around to play in the house but I have never gone. Mr. Brown owns the house and he hates it when kids play in the house. Mr. Brown and I both agree that kids should not be able to play in the abandoned house. The three reasons I think kids should not be able to play in the abandoned house are the house is very dangerous, there are ghosts, and it is very dirty.

The first reason that I think kids should not be able to play in the abandoned house is because it is very dangerous. For example, one time a kid went in the house and fell on a nail and had to get a tetanus shot. Another time

    In the essay solstice by Joanne Lozar Glenn, it talks about how the past was different, compared to now. I find it interesting how, in the essay the author talks about how people could leave their yard games outside in the front lawn and no one would take it, however now a days people would take it instantly if its not put away. To me, I certainly feel like society has changed a lot over the years. In the past like mentioned in the first paragraph, people would be able to leave yard games and bikes outside in the front lawn, and even leave the garage door open, for long times of periods at a time.…

    The Usher House Analysis

    The Usher house is described in great lengths by Poe; he depicts it as gloomy, depressing, eerie, and gothic. As the narrator approaches the mansion he automatically feels the negative energy radiating into him as he states, “with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit” (Poe) He goes on to describe the walls as “bleak” and the windows as “vacant and eye like” as he moves closer and closer to the spooky mansion. The house reminds the narrator of , “the specious totality of old wood-work which has rotted for long years in some neglected vault, with no disturbance from the breath of the external air” (Poe) and this vivid image gives the reader the idea that this house is much like a mind that has been eroding for decades with no disturbance or interference from the outside world. The house is falling apart on the inside without showing barely any defects on the exterior.…

    I walked up to the entrance of the evacuated home. The house could have been an enchanting two-story house; with its ivory framed windows, and front lawn. If it was not abandoned and lifeless, maybe this house would have been the dream house everyone fancied. But it's lifeless and boorish, just like the carrion of Timothy Woodsen. His body was no longer there, but the evidence was.…

    Halloween, an American tradition where young children can go ‘trick or treating’ around their neighbourhood, however, this has risen the debate of whether this celebration is a safe or a suitable one to be part of.

    As president of my high school's Key Club, it is my job to organize service activities for our members to volunteer in. One of these activities is the local haunted house sponsored by the Front Royal Little League. This fundraiser for the little league started when Mr. Bryan Binnix stepped in to save it from plummeting. Mr. Binnix discovered that the program wasn't making enough profits until his brother, Mr. Bobby Binnix, wanted to make a change, thus they proposed the idea of having an annual haunted house. Since the first year in 2012, the fundraiser has raised approximately $9,500.00.…

A survey from the HHS Administration for Children and Families found that 65 babies were abandoned in public places in 1991 and 105 in 1998.…
