Stairway

composition can be found in the garden of the resort hotel “Bella Vista Sakaigahama,” in Onomichi Hiroshima. Designed by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP Architects and constructed in 2013, this freestanding building rises helically through two entwining spiral stairways to architecturally embody the act of marriage in pure form. They cross paths at several points to provide support for one another, conjuring Luce Irigaray’s theory “Mucous of the Carnal”, whereby a substance has the capacity to sustain…

From the tenth floor, Jonas could see many more living yet suffering victims. Two of Jonas’ men were separated from the group, as they were escorting the found survivors as the other four kept going up the stairway. On the eighteenth floor they found a 59-year-old, heavy-set woman, a bookkeeper named Josephine Harris, who is in immense pain and met her physical capabilities. At first, Josephine said to go on without her; but they refused to give up on her and…

Early in the morning of september 9, 2001, it acted like it was a normal day. I had an interview for a job at the twin towers! As i walked up to the giant tower i said “what an amazing view.” I went up to the elevator, there were a lot of people in there.I had to get to the 71 floor, as we were coming up to the 71 first floor. CRASH! A giant boom came and startled the people in the elevator.Everyone was screaming and pacing. I looked around, and said “look a opening” we all climbed up with the…

had lots of fun with musical sound devices. In paragraph 4 makes it seem that these guys or whoever they were , were also playing dangerous with one another, because in the last sentence of paragraph 4 says, make two people fight on the top of a stairway and scratch each other's eyes in a clinch tumbling down the stairs. It seems like in this poem that there was commotion going on and lots of emotions. These emotions were being expressed through the sound of the instruments being played with.…

In the early 1900’s, were there legitimate ways to prevent fires like we do today? Albert Marrin’s non-fiction story, “Flesh And Blood So Cheap” uses both explicit and implicit evidence and examples in his excerpt to convey his theme that The Triangle Fire that took place in 1911 was caused by many unsafe practices and standards, which led to 146 deaths in the large fire. Fortunately, this fire prompted people to want to work for reforms to improve safety standards which we still use to this day…

carefully mapped by ancient architects and astronomers. On the day of both the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox and several days leading up to and after the events afternoon sunlight bathes the western balustrade of the El Castillo pyramid's main stairway causing seven isosceles triangles to form and create a shadow that imitates the body of a 120 foot long rattlesnake…

When relating to other texts, Death was served as a gateway to another world and was not a pleasurable experience to some souls as they have suffered in their lives. In the film, I believe the stairway was one of the ways that the people use to reach the other world after death. The entrance to the other worlds was different in other texts where they were gates and each layer that was passed, there was a different environment. For example,…

It is unlikely that Sandy Banks will be able to recover damages from Faneuil Hall. There are three reasons why a court will not hold Faneuil Hall liable for negligence. First, the discolored banana peel may have been dropped by another customer. Second, there weren’t any Faneuil Hall employees present at the time of the incident. Third, because the incident occurred after the employees cleaned and there wasn’t a recent inspection, Faneuil Hall couldn’t have reasonably discovered the banana peel.…

After witnessing misfortune befall upon another person, have you ever began a thought with the phrase, “What if I had . . . ?” Once the inferno of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was extinguished and the bodies were counted, the involved parties, including the fire department, owners, and builders, likely thought this as well. In the non-fictional excerpt of Flesh and Blood So Cheap, Marrin utilizes explicit details to make his ideas clear, and implicit details to imply failures in safety…
