Western Wall

This room had nothing but photographs all around. They had a huge section of the wall that was compacted with different photographs of the same time period. As I moved across the wall and continued to walk I was hit in the face with a stunning, beautifully carved archway. This archway led into an itsy-bitsy chamber that was filled the shelves and glass. On the shelves were pieces…

another slanted wall with a rope ladder attached to it and then back down a final ladder wall and off the Antigravity obstacle. The course continued on a very brief distance and up next was “The Warped Wall” obstacle, which was a very challenging warped wall. I was able to make it up the wall on both days without assistance, but the volunteers where awesome and very quick to offer any racers assistance if they needed help with getting up the warped wall. Once on top of the warped wall, the next…

I had not taken but two steps into the recess when I hit some cold, hard object. I stood in wonder, while my friend jumped on the opportunity to put me in chains. I was stuck to the wall. He began to play upon me, imploring me to return. He walked over to the other side of the tunnel, and put the flambeaux into the sconce. I saw him moving his arm. I couldn't tell what it was he was doing. It became apparent almost immediately. He…

Still a bit drunk, he opens the door to the basement hesitantly. He takes the first step down the basement and the dull sound of the stairs echoed throughout the basement. To his surprise, the sound was exactly the same as he remembered. Dave was six years old the time he was moving to his new home. The family used to live in a boxed up and dark apartment. Now that his parents had earned enough, they decided to finally buy a home the family deserves. It was their very first home. The home was…

/me ducks behind the wall to seek protection from the reign of bullets that were bursting from the guns of the rebels. /me pulls out her 9mm with hasty fingers by pulling at the strap and lifting it up before grasping the gun and moving into both of her hands. /me clicks off the safety on the 9mm and draws it into a ready position. She stoops on the ground on one knee, and peeks around the corner for a moment, assessing the situation and making mental notations of the locations of the…

Wesley and I chose the poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost. This poem is about two neighbors that are divided by a stone wall and in thes scene, they are meeting to repair the wall. One neighbor doesn't understand the need for the wall since there are no animals to fence in and their trees are different. The presentation to our classmates went very well and we were very calm. We were to memorize our intro and try to as little as possible, not look at the poem. The delivery was very well but…

The “Mending Wall” from what I can decipher is that the wall is metaphorical and used to set boundaries. Regardless of those boundaries Frost and his neighbor know each other well. When he refers to how no one has heard the gaps being in the wall I believe he’s talking about boundaries being crossed without anyone being aware of so. This could relate to a lot of things in anyone’s life, anyone can overstep a boundary by saying, doing, or not doing, and so much more. Another thing to note is how…

of my house lies a large chuck of raw copper. Corroded with a green and white patina, from its years of oxidation, the parts that still keep their brown color show no shine, and large blobs stick out of the sides that once connected it to the cave wall. When I would play in that room, I always thought that it was just some decoration, and I never knew the story behind it. Until one day mw and my dad were sitting around a camp fire and my brothers were asking for a story. I was expecting him to…
