Berlin Wall

Wesley and I chose the poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost. This poem is about two neighbors that are divided by a stone wall and in thes scene, they are meeting to repair the wall. One neighbor doesn't understand the need for the wall since there are no animals to fence in and their trees are different. The presentation to our classmates went very well and we were very calm. We were to memorize our intro and try to as little as possible, not look at the poem. The delivery was very well but…

The “Mending Wall” from what I can decipher is that the wall is metaphorical and used to set boundaries. Regardless of those boundaries Frost and his neighbor know each other well. When he refers to how no one has heard the gaps being in the wall I believe he’s talking about boundaries being crossed without anyone being aware of so. This could relate to a lot of things in anyone’s life, anyone can overstep a boundary by saying, doing, or not doing, and so much more. Another thing to note is how…

of my house lies a large chuck of raw copper. Corroded with a green and white patina, from its years of oxidation, the parts that still keep their brown color show no shine, and large blobs stick out of the sides that once connected it to the cave wall. When I would play in that room, I always thought that it was just some decoration, and I never knew the story behind it. Until one day mw and my dad were sitting around a camp fire and my brothers were asking for a story. I was expecting him to…

People First, Rats Second Five indistinguishable figures stand in the arid, earth toned desert, draped under a single distinct tarp created from clearly improvised materials. This makeshift roof provides shade, but not shelter, from the wasteland that these assumed rodents are found in, and in the field of the red and brown earthly hues rich with clay, the landscape is broken only by stark instances of darkness conflicting with the individual, ivory tarp that contributes the bulk of the framed…

In the corner sat a worn dresser and a small table with two chairs. The walls were filthy and the chipped paint on the window sashes indicated the room had been painted numerous time, since it had been built. Clothing was strewn throughout the room and the small closet couldn’t hold any more. Once her father had thrown her…

walks into the sumptuous period bedroom of Palazzo Sagredo, Venice immediately observes the elaborate leaf like pattern stuccowork on the ceiling; putti (cupids) bearing garlands of flowers joyfully fly about the space ornamenting the ceiling and walls. The compelling fresco work, inner chamber dome, and fluted Corinthian columns draws further attention. On the ceiling, above the bed alcove has a dome with these love-inspired mythical creatures flank the gilded frame of a painting by Gasparo…

light-weight fabric drapery too, plus switching to a roller shade of woven fabric that allows light to enter but reduces the glare. Although most her clients are hesitant about wallpaper, she says it is a big trend right now to add color on an accent wall…

One day when I was working at Lidtke Mill something strange happened I was closing up the mill and I locked the door and as soon as I closed it it unlocked I thought how strange? I naturally assumed it was broke so I tried again and the same thing happened to me and as soon as it happened all I heard was don’t lock my mill! Once I heard it I ran into the darkness outside towards my horse carriage my horses must have seen something because they darted away as fast as they could without me. So I…

One beautiful morning, a stranger came into town, he had a shaggy blonde beard and wore a brown tunic. I was wearing my sea-green tunic with a light brown shawl, my golden curls fell to my hip. When the stranger looked into my crystal clear blue eyes, I knew he was a storyteller. He reminded me of my brother who had gone to Athens to fight in the war. I was going to go inside and tell Ma, when the storyteller yelled “Eleni! It’s me!” I turned around and realized the man was my brother! I ran to…
