Glass ceiling

I am spying on Holling Hoodhood again. I am Sycorax, a brown and white rat. I love to chew on stuff. Some people say I have a Swedish accent Holling Hoodhood is a boy who let us out of our cage. Holling is reading from a book out loud right now. When I went up to our apartment yesterday I discovered that we have new neighbors. Clowey is a black girl mouse, and Dobby is a brownish boy mouse. Our home is in the attic of the school, it is really nice up there. I am walking up our stairs to our…

After the dust settled…after months of sinkless and toiletless rooms. After piles of broken sheet rock and crumbled white powder covering every cement floor. After staring at exposed electrical wires jutting this way and that; and sill plates, anchor bolts, sole plates and studs; and water-stained skeletal wooden framing and floor joists. After all of the air compressors, nail guns, paint sprayers, discarded tiles, end pieces and left over pieces of wood had been removed. After the…

In the locker room are Dan and Jason. I say hello and continue on to my locker. More people come in and everyone starts talking about how bad their day was. It's almost a daily contest to see who can have bragging rights for having the worst day, perhaps they want sympathy or maybe they just like to complain a lot. I find it humorous that a bunch of guys who come in every day to train and beat on each other can complain so much, so I laugh at them and leave the locker room. I start…

Ten: Bedlam in Berlin The silence in the basement was disrupted by air raid sirens which roared out in the distance. Anna gritted her teeth and rehearsed acting brave and Willy sat still, not wanting to move. They could hear the deafening bombs being dropped from planes overhead and carpeting the city. The air in the basement became thick, and they, both began to cough and gasp for air. Miss Margot and Miss Muller rushed into the tiny room and frantically handed them their shoes and shouted, "We…

of the apartment overlooking the park is separated into squares and covered in old gum and the occasional chalk doodle. You go up and stand on the single black concrete step and look up at the black marble and the silver 126. You walk in the clear glass door and walk onto the faded tile floor that goes from the bottom of the few lonely stairs through the next door and to the elevator. You feel the cold from the faded brass handrail and walk up the stairs to the buzzer with a list of all the…

gives you the opportunity to change the type of material used on the slats. For instance, one can change the slats from glass to wood to aluminum or whichever material one desires. These types of windows are easier to change the appearance than full pane type. Jalousie windows cannot be opened from outside once closed. Jalousie windows can remain open during rains since the glass protrudes outside and prevent most of the water from getting inside the house. One can easily enjoy the storm breeze…

their daily life, their job, and the stained glass they produced. Their daily life was somewhat similar to other peasants in their community because they wore the same clothes and they ate the same food. On the other hand, the glazier would travel and live in workshops instead of staying in one area like other peasants. Furthermore, the glazier had a challenging job because of how stained glass was created, the tools that was used for stained glass, and the training the glazier they had to…

Did you know that over 50 Billion plastic water bottles are used each year by Americans alone. That’s over 150 times the population of America. Just sit and think how many water bottles that actually is, because it is easy to forget how big of a number that actually is. I think bottle flipping should be banned for three main reasons: It’s bad for the environment, the bottles get left everywhere, and It’s loud and annoying. First off, those 50 billion water bottles have to go somewhere and…
