Closet

Growing up in a missionary family, we did not have the luxury of name brand clothes and most of the time we did not get new clothes; only hand-me-downs, which we received from missionary closets at churches we visited across the country. Missionary closets are stocked with items similar to that of garage sale, like stationary, school supplies, bath towels, toiletry items, kitchen items, clothes, shoes and much more. However, unlike a garage sale, there is no payment upon leaving. Because this was normal for our family, I had no idea the stigma that some of society puts on people who buy or, in our case, are given used items. In addition, I was also homeschooled, which limited outside influences that would make me think shopping in mission’s closets was anything but normal. As a young girl, I never thought this was odd or different nor was I embarrassed. I would leave the closet feeling happy, excited and thankful.…

lined with broken coolers, wood scraps, gardening tools, and broken tables. There were also several storage closets which were even more of a disaster. They were piled from the floor to ceiling with random stuff, junk, and a whole lot of trash. We all looked around, completely bewildered. We could not believe that kids actually came here to hangout and have fun. As we looked around at the task ahead, Carrie came in to ask us what we thought. One of our leaders replied simply, “I think we better…

After class discussion, I truly believe that the question of “Who is Melinda” is more important than I thought it was. The Janitor’s closet is more important to Melinda than just a transitional place for her, and actually becomes a safe haven for Melinda, as it became the only place she could hide from her former friends, the bullying, and, for a long time, IT. Melinda can’t find herself. This is expressed by her questioning how her room looks, and wishing for a hint of herself, but alas it is…

Purpose of secret closet Dimmesdale has peculiar night activities. Hidden from the public eye, Dimmesdale practices mortification of the flesh in his “secret closet” as his way of coping with his guilty conscious. “In Mr. Dimmesdale 's secret closet, under lock and key, there was a bloody scourge. [Dimmesdale] plied it on his own shoulders; laughing bitterly at himself the while, and smiting so much the more pitilessly, because of that bitter laugh” (132). The poor minister suffered from…

The body in the closet Visibility is not simply about the recognition, identification and categorization of bodies, but it is also how bodies negotiate and exist within systems of power. These are the very dynamics which regulate the invisibility of certain bodies as well. The idea of the ‘closet’ which Sedgwick develops, points at how complicated the promise of invisibility inside the closet and visibility outside the closet is. According to her, culture can be understood through the…

“Logan I need the closet!” I said “No I need it!” Logan replied. We both applied pressure to both sides of the closet, then we heard a shattering sound, and look at the closet door… The glass was cracked throughout the entire closet door.

As everyone else…

Deciding to organize your closet can be an amazing decision if you allow it to be. This process can shave off hours of pillaging for a certain item of clothing, which will allow you to spend this time more productively; however, if you do not make a commit to the maintenance of your closet, chaos will strike and the organization will disintegrate. One must always keep in mind that there is multiple ways to organize a closet, and my suggestions may not be the best rout for you to take. Before…
