The Blue Room

supply was suddenly out of the room. Pulling away slowly, Iris was able to take in Barry's appearance. Disheveled, no surprise, his hair sticking up in several places, his t-shirt smelled freshly-laundered, but also, so unmistakably Barry Allen. In his dorm, it was easy to pick out which side was his--- the unmade bed, with books strewn across the foot of it. The black, utilitarian backpack spilling open on the floor, next to a pair of worn-in shower shoes and a large blue towel. "I cleaned up…

to the Pierce’s Christmas Dinner. Apparently, it’s a popular event in this town, and it’s almost mandatory to go when you’re invited--or that’s what I’ve heard. Anyway’s I had no idea what the heck to wear. I mean it was black tie, and all I had is blue jeans and flannels. I guess I could have gone shopping in a nice retail store, but I was also broke. I guess you could say “the struggle was real”. At least that what my teenage neighbors say, and honestly I couldn’t have agreed more. In the end,…

attitude cause everyone to fall in love with this Mississippi bread star. Like every other musician, Elvis had his influences. Elvis’s influences made his style so unique because it’s a mix of a few different styles of music including, African-American blues, Christian gospel, and Southern country. Presley sang both hard driving rock, rock and roll dance songs and ballads, laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock musicians would build their careers. That’s the way the music industry…

A few of the popular ones were Blues and Ragtime. Blues is very similar to Jazz because of the similar ways musicians modify the instruments for the pieces. Artists like Robert Johnson helped showcase the modification of the guitar beautifully. He used a slide which helped mimic the sound of another singing voice though Johnson was playing solo. A very large part of Blues was a call and response feature. It was when there is a question asked in one section…

“Why?” I yelled. “Why can’t you just get along!?” I screamed while holding my yellow Winnie The Pooh under my blue ceiling. My parents argued often, I hated it, but that’s all they did. I didn’t like it, I didn’t want it, I felt like I couldn’t do anything. Parents arguing and screaming at each other was a scary event when I was young. When it happened, it affected how I thought, what I thought of my parents, and other people involved. As a child I learned to have the ability to survive tough…

They added about 20 mL of deionized water to the salt and stirred the solution until it dissolved. As it dissolved, the solution turned into a light blue color. Then to make sure that very little of the solution was left on the stirring rod, they rinsed it with more deionized water into the beaker. After thoroughly rinsing a 50-mL volumetric flask with deionized water, they transferred the solution…

I stared at myself for a moment, although I don 't know why I did so, and then flicked the light switch off as I left the bathroom. On my way to inspect the living room, I began faintly hearing the sound of voices; a male and a female voice. I crept to the end of the hall until I was inches away from the entrance to the living room; I listened as quietly as I could, slowing my breathing to minimize any noise that would prevent me from hearing. I identified the female voice as Katherine 's, but…

Formal Analysis: David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock is an oil on canvas piece by the artist Alice Neel. In this piece you see two seated men, one in suit and tie and the other only in underwear. Both men seem to be staring off into the distance with disinterest. This piece is actually a portrait of the openly gay couple. Alice specialized in portraits and bringing attention to features others usually didnt say much about although you could not help think of.…

In seventh grade, I tripped in the dead middle of the stage in front of my entire class on the way to receive an academic award. Mortified, I held it together, threw up a peace sign to the speechless crowd, shook my principals hand, and exited stage, laughing (nervously... but still). In eighth grade, I squeezed my mom’s hand through every appointment after she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer, never allowing myself to fall apart. In ninth grade, the girl that sat next to me in Spanish was…
