The Chair in the Doorway

Fear encased my brain as I wandered what actually went on behind those doors. Knowing that in only 15 more minutes it was my turn. I returned to my seat and looked around. I felt trapped to see only a little pencil writing on the wall and only 8 chairs filled the room. I could see a light that looked…

Stanley Milgram, researches human behavior and wrote about some of his findings in his article, "The Perils of Obedience." In 1963, Milgram conducted a test using random subjects and actors in a fake electric chair. He gave the subject the power to increase the voltage of the electric chair and "shock" the actor as a form of punishment (Milgram 78). To his surprise, the data showed that nearly all of the subjects administered dangerously high voltage (85). No one knows for sure why, but a…

Granddaddy. Hurrying out the front door into the foyer where the telephone sits on a stand I attempt to dial Granddaddy’s number, however, I can only remember the first three digits. Frantically racing back inside to tell my mom I freeze in the doorway as my father abruptly grabs my younger sister, threatening to leave forever. Paralyzed with fear, I beg with my eyes for him to scoop me up into his arms too. In the succeeding moment, he turns and stomps out the door carrying my sister with…

enjoyable. Some of the things we have encountered that play key roles in the building of the house is the doorway width, square footage of the rooms, and the window height. The way we solved these issues was by editing the windows and doors. In the codes it states that the doorway must be at least 3 feet wide but to play it safe we edited the doors and made them 3.5 feet wide. With the doorways being 3.5 feet in width the people living…

She didn't respond to the fear in its voice. Instead, she tilted forward in her chair as sweat rolled down her face and turned her peach linen dress darker near her chest and lower back. The ding-a-lings near and fro cheered when it was announced class was ending early (the school photograph came with much success and Mademoiselle Poirier…

think while sitting in that beige, swivel chair. As I was parked in that seat, going through everything I had done in the past week, nothing I could think of rendered punishable. The door to my right flew open, and out came my high school principal, Mr. White, standing in the doorway, arms crossed, his shadow stretched across the worn gray carpet. “Hello Tyler, please come have a seat in my office.” I walked in, slumped over, and sat in the chair on the other side of his desk. He was a…

As well as settings, scenic properties, such as doorway, windows, mirrors or chairs, using in the scene were also created asymmetrically, for instant, those chairs and tables which were set in the scene with civil officers or town clerks are unnaturally tall, while the doors or stairways used by characters in film are such unrealistically distorted. Moreover, light is also projected through painting in this film, to draw the highlight in the scene. In every scene, besides using paint on the…

memory, and my parents’ experience. At the beginning of school, I was very aggressive. Yes, I think that would be the word for me at that moment. This is because in the classroom, a big wooden rocking chair was located by the window, and I sat on it all the time. It was like I had dominated that single chair. If somebody got anywhere near it, I would get very mad, and I wouldn’t let anyone touch it. But, that was only on the first day of school. After, I grew more friendly towards others. In…

The American dream is dead, but two authors, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Arthur Miller were able to capture a glimpse in our past. The American Dream affect everyone at some time, with our parents, and their parents and so on. They had the trouble of coming to America to make something of themselves. In the book The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald and the play A View from a bridge, by Arthur Miller, portrays this very same American dream by using two similar but very contrasting characters.…

large dresser with a mirror on top of it. The room to the left of mine was the kitchen which was right as you walked into the house. Right behind that was the living room which had two windows, a T.V, two couches and a chair. Between the living room and the dining room was a doorway that led into a small room that connected to my room the bathroom and my mom’s room. The bathroom had one window, a toilet, bathtub, sink, sink and a mirror. My mom’s room was small with a queen sized bed, a computer…
