Rose window

“Sir Percival, Sir Percival, I’m here, I’m here! I have my own sword and everything!” On a stifling summer morning in Camelot, Sir Percival turned and saw a little boy, about age five or six, bounding toward him. The young boy’s shaggy brown hair bounced as he raced forward, and his cheeks were flushed bright pink due to exertion. Only a few paces away from Percival now, the little boy tripped over the too-large sword he carried, and the weapon went sailing into the air. Percival was forced to…

“What you wish for?” asks Eric, “to make it with Andy.” Smirks Troy as he throws a penny down the well. Suddenly the coin flies back up the well and into the air. “Hey! Who’s down there?” yells Troy. A huge response from many voices emerges from the well. “That sounds like Andy!” laughs Jeb. After a heated argument, the boys agree to bring down the bucket to lift them to safety, Troy, Eric and Jeb decide to slide down the well and meet the goonies at the bottom. Once the boys get down, the…

1. Jonathan Maberry, the author of award-winning book Rot and Ruin, writes this story in a very eye-captivating way including interesting character development and plot through the theme of “Sometimes you have to be the change you want to see”. The story starts off with the protagonist, Benny, hating his brother, Tom, for his cowardly appearance in his first memory of his parents and the zombie-infested, ruin, outside of the encumbrance of the fence. As the story progresses Benny must find a job…

On Tuesday, October 20, 2015, I spent the day at Media Elementary School in the Rose Tree Media School District assisting 4th-grade teacher Mrs. Williamson. Mrs. Williamson is a teacher with 23 years of experience and she spent most her career with Media Elementary School. The school day for the students begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm. I was supposed to report at 8:45 am as the teacher began preparing for the class few minutes before the students entered the classroom. I reached there at…

the building looking visually more ornate and decorative. St Peter’s Cathedral features all these elements with a large rose window at the front, stained glass windows throughout the entire church and bar tracery. Brian Andrews states St Peter’s cathedral windows “had tracery of the simplest geometrical kind”. As the sun moved through the cathedral’s stained glassed windows its colours would reflect into the interior of the cathedral creating an “other worldly” light. This had a major…

Through the Window Pane A multitude of overlapping themes and stylistic choices meld together in Frankenstein and Flowers for Algernon, two novels which, though written over a century apart, are notably similar. Characterised by the use of epistolary storytelling techniques, the window is a recurring symbol which is structured following a period of nine months. This parodies of a human’s gesticulation period and mocks man’s attempts to play God by ending both novels in the season of Fall. In…

pass his face. As I watch him do whatever he is doing he turns round 180 degrees holding the white rose that is now free from the bush. My Dad walks away from the window and I hear him enter the house again. I hear the front door unlock and his feet stamp, the door is closed. My Dad returns to the living room and comes to stand next to me on my left-hand side. “ Tommy, I want you to place this rose on your bedside table and watch what happens over the next fews, a check on the flower every…

The cathedral itself is mostly marble, except for the ceiling. One main room opens at the center, surrounded by multiple recesses on all sides. The cathedral design does not allow for much daylight to enter through the stain glass windows. Light comes from small lamps suspended from the ceiling, which also lights the recesses. Some of the recesses along the side of the cathedral contain steps leading to private chapels or sculptures of saints. The crossed-ribbed vaults support the…

nave and choir windows were completed by 1921 with the choir finished by 1924. The Princeton Medallion as it now exists was not a restoration, since the original composition was lost in the 18th century. The stained-glass medallion was installed in a gallery housing the Museum’s collection of ceramics given by William Cowper Prime, class of 1843. It is said that the Princeton Medallion has important clues to the original appearance of the upper choir of Chartres, since most of the window…

example, the scene in the memoir in which Rose Mary and Rex begin arguing over money and not being able to support the family states that, “Their argument continued the next morning.. She was sick, she said, of Dad’s ridiculous dreams and his stupid plans and his empty promises.”(70). The fact that arguments lasted days at a time added to the extremity of Rose Mary and Rex’s relationship as well as the financial situation of the Walls family. In the film Rose Mary and Rex’s argument lasted for…
