Wrought iron

Scalping at Avalon In my adult life, I have received a multitude of safety courses that I’ve never needed to use. In 2006, I became the Game Master of Avalon, a live action, fantasy, role-playing game also known as a LARP. My then husband was stepping back from his presidency and it fell to me to keep our company afloat. As one of my new duties, I scheduled a first aid and CPR training at the local fire station for my staff members and I, because minor injuries were fairly common in our…

this short story the author uses many different scenarios where we can easily spot elements of symbolism. A very good example of symbolism used by the author is the cage where the parrot was locked in. The author describes the cage as a “Black wrought-iron cage, very large “. A cage is known as a mechanism or object that confines or restraints physically an animal, but in this case the cage wasn’t only confining the physical body of the parrot.

It had an archway of wrought-iron curlicues, stonewalls, a lush Victorian style rose garden off to one side, and hundreds of rows of white gravestones. I read on. Do you believe in ghosts? Apparently most people in Whodunit Hill now do, especially, after last night’s mysterious…

the water pooling beneath the Havasu Falls. The home was perfect for her, simple yet articulate; each piece specifically chosen to fit together like a puzzle. Enclosing the napping deck facing the forest, vines of moonflowers curled through the wrought iron railing, while two slim rocking chairs nestled side by side on the front porch, set for taking in the glorious sunsets and a lifetime of conversations. It was the home she’d never had but one she’d spend the rest of her life in. A place once…

Natalie: Natalie played a key role in the limited success on both sides of the case. While her knowledge of objections and procedure had some gaps, her willingness to provide advice and guide her teammates was invaluable. Natalie worked well with the witness with whom she was paired with for her direct (Bailey). Her (Natalie’s) determination to memorize most of her lines was demonstrated by her marked improvement during the Sunday rounds. Her direct-examination of Cary Kramer on Sunday struck a…

New Orleans is a melting pot of culture or as the people from New Orleans probably refer to it: a gumbo. Many of their cultural influences come from their deep-rooted history. New Orleans, founded by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, became a cultural gumbo from the fact that the Louisiana Territory swapped hands many times before it came to rest in the hands of the Americans. The French sent most of their undesirables like prostitutes, thieves, and an assortment of other criminals to inhabit…

Art and architecture are huge influences on culture. Furthering movements of all different sorts is the goal of many artists in American history. Artists react to events as they occur, voicing their opinion through visuals rather than words. Sometimes the opinions of the artists reflect the public opinion, and sometimes they reveal reality. Art and architecture are important to U.S and world history, not just for understanding the past, but interpreting the present. The Colonial period was a…

A gentle breeze caresses my cheek, brushing a few pesky strands of hair away from my face. It is late, later than usual. The sun will set soon despite its height in the sky. It shines with a radiance that carries the inexplicable feeling of summer. Luckily, the radiance is not raining down with its usual heat, gifting everyone with a cool evening. I stand at the edge of my driveway waiting for my wristwatch to read seven O’ clock. Fifty seconds. Stretching my arms across my chest, I loosen my…
