Tree house

screeched as my mother slowed down to turned off the main road onto my grandparent’s dirt driveway. The top of the trees arched around the beaten dirt road casting a shadow that soon blocked the sun from my view. The feeling of the road tossing our car back and forth like it weigh nothing, caused my stomach to rock. The rocking got so bad my mother slowed down to 15 miles an hour as she navigated her way up to the main house. My grandparents have a chunk of land next to the Whitefish chain. Thier place was my second home growing up. It was an escape from my huge family and a place I could explore with my cousin Tabby who lived just down the road from my grandparents’ house. Together we got ourselves into a lot of trouble but nothing…

Throughout A Doll’s House, Henrik Ibsen illustrates through an intriguing story how a once infantile-like woman gains independence and a life of her own. Ibsen creates a naturalistic drama that demonstrates how on the outside Nora and Torvald seem to have it all, but in reality their life together is empty. From a girl confined by her husband’s rules to a woman who finally puts her own wellbeing before others, she comes into her own over the course of the play. Nora Helmer was a delicate…

appointment in the backyard. On a whim before going out I decided to let all three of our cats outside. However, I kept one with me by putting a harness and leash on her. I decided so that she could keep my friend and I company while we figured out our tree house. When I finally got her situated I turned to my brother and tried to join me. I thought since it was just the two of us we could use all the help we could put the plywood into the tree. Nonetheless, he was immovable. I was at least…

Daisy Drama101 Kreilkamp 10/14/15 In the play, A Doll’s House, there were many uses of imagery and symbols. The symbols that I chose to write about are the use of the Christmas tree, Nora’s tarantella dance, Nora’s costumes, and the macaroons. Each symbol helps move along the story of Nora and Torvald’s relationship and how Nora is treated inside of her home. Her emotions change throughout the play and the symbols help show how she feels. The Christmas tree represents happiness and joy. It’s…

christmas tree is used to symbolize Nora. Nora uses the tree and decorations as an excuse for her husband to give her money when really she is just saving up to pay back her debt. The tree also represents Nora in that she is viewed as nothing more than a possession; something pretty that can be decorated. Just as a tree makes a house look good, as his wife, Noraś beauty helps earn Torvald respect and a good reputation. The macaroons symbolize Nora’s unhappiness. Nora follows her husband's rules…

I knew I would be sad forever, but that had changed when my mother told me someone was moving in next door and they had a kid my age. The summer was almost over and school was starting next week. The kid who lived next door had to move away when his father got a new job far away. I hope he has a tree in his new house. The one our fathers help us build in my backyard was nearly finished. All that was left was to put hedges on the swinging trap door in the floor. It made sense that we could not…

The House/Tree/Person Test Tianjiao Ma Why This Topic I’ve read a book called “A Guide Book of the House-Tree-Person Test” in high school. It simplely introduces that test takers are asked to draw a house, a tree, and a person separately. Then, based on the way they draw and matched it with the samples in the book, individuals are able to roughly interperate and analyze test takers’ personalities. I found it very interesting, and therefore, I developed an informal and nonacademic study to…

more close to terror. The tree house” (Sparks 314). Coming home provided no leisure for Logan Thibault. Not even a quaint fishing trip to Minnesota allowed him to escape Death’s longing for him. All that stood between Death and Logan was a Simple Picture. Logan’s new life revolved around that single picture, which he would spend the rest of his life trying to repay that debt. Logan sets out to seek a new life with Beth, the women in the picture. All goes well for Logan until Beth’s ex-husband,…

about country folks, do their lives move like a tractor on an old back road? When most people see this house comment on the huge front porch or how massive and exquisite it appears. For me, home is the first thing that rushes to my mind. To countless people this is just an image of a house, but to me there are bountiful memories and lessons that arise when I see this house. This house is not my home, although it was my grandparents’ house; they built it in the mid 1970’s. I actually spent more…

A fragile soul walks into his first grade class, fearful of the outside world. This is where he says goodbye, goodbye to his parents, goodbye to his old life, and starts anew. This is where the new world opens up new possibilities, new experiences, and new learning. There is no longer a necessity for childlike wonder; this is supposed to be the place where every child goes to create a name for themselves. The name I was trying to create for myself was Tyler Vold, a unique individual who desired…
