My Favourite Place I've just finished some hard homework and I know

I've done it wrong. I've had a really bad day; my head is overflowing

with worries about SATS tests/ my 'English talk' / that 20-page-essay

I haven't started that has to be in by tomorrow. So where do I go?

(Although 'off the end of a cliff ' springs to mind, it's not the

answer!) I go to my bedroom with a bar of chocolate, tumble onto my

bed, press the play button on my video and settle down to watch

'Friends', or 'Trigger Happy TV'. Ah! Much better!

Purple!That's all you see when you walk into my room. Masses of purple

everywhere, followed by a blue beaded lampshade on my light that hangs

so low that it brushes your head every time you walk under it.

Mirrors, pictures and photographs decorate my room. What's better than

having a picture painted by your mum, gold and silver mirrors, and

photographs of your best friends smiling down at you from the wall?

There is a lot crammed into my small room! My giant wardrobe (my other

favourite place is at the shops, so it has to house a lot of

clothes!), and my bed full of cushions: - I love cushions! I have

cushions of every colour, and I especially love the Indian designs

with beads or tassels. The last time I counted there were thirteen! A

curtain canopy hangs over my bed, with my blue dream catcher above my

head as I sleep.

The bay window is one of the best features of my room.

  • Under The Overpass

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    This was a story about a man named Mike, and how he found God all over again. Though you may or may not believe in God himself, I believe this book would touch your heart regardless. Mike had been an upper class college student who was doing very well in his life. He had, money, an education, respect and overall he had a great life. He was considered a Christian and even attended a Christian collage. He had grown up in the church, and was what most people viewed as the perfect American citizen. Yet one day, while attending a church service themed of being the kind of person you say you are, he began to question himself. Was he actually being the person he said he was? Or was he just going on with life, and only focusing on what makes him happy? Is being a “good” Christian simply mean to go to a church and listen? To invest your money into different “Christian” organizations and to judge those that are different from you? Or is being the Cristian you say you are, mean to help out the people that we all ignore, and to actually rely on God, as opposed to going to him when you've ran out of choices? Those are just few of many things that Mike had began to question about his life.

  • Herland

    496 Words  | 1 Pages

    The novel is described as a feminist novel. Yet, this is not exactly acurate. The absence of men in the utopian society may seem extreme to some, and it is. This is how Gilman makes her point. She does not create a world without men because men are terrible creatures who have corrupted the world. The utopia which lacks men is a clean peaceful place, which surpasses in almost every way the competitive societies that we live in. But, it is neither the absence of men nor the presence of women that makes this to be the case. Gender, in this novel, is symbolic for the most part. Gilman does separate the two genders to destroy stereo types, but also to establish a concrete difference between the two worlds. The male world is not bad, and the female good is not good. The world in which people are defined by others and limited is bad, while the world in which people are free to grow without being defined or compared to others, and are able to see the unity of all people is good. Comparing Herland to the real world, Gilman begins destroying gender based stereotypes. Because there are no distinctions of gender in Herland, nor any superficial characteristics which accompany gender, Herland women take on the roles of all people without considering any limitations. These women are strong, agile, nurturing, intelligent, cooperative, and able to rely on themselves. They are not "typical" females. As Gilman explains through the male character Van, "Those 'feminine charms' we are so fond of are not feminine at all, but mere reflected masculinity developed to please us because they had to please us, and in no way essential to the real fulfillment of their great process" (p59). In the same way, stereotypes about men can be thrown up as well. Gilman shows the reader that if people stop basing their identities on what others want, they will no longer be slaves to limitations. They will be free to discover their true selves and will allow others to do the same. Gilman shows readers that men and women are distinct people, but reminds us that they are people first. This can be seen when one of women of Herland named Somel, questions the men by saying, "But surely there are characteristics enough which belong to People, aren't there?

    The world is full of many places and over time those places begin to change. Sometimes it is for the better and others it is for the worse but people don’t realize the effect that place has on other things, or how it relates to the future. Throughout this paper I will discuss the historical findings about my place, Honey Creek Park in West Allis, WI, and the reasoning behind why I think that if we don’t fix the way we view environmental places, whether it is a park, city, building, forest, etc that we will develop the world into a place where humans are its unworthy inhabitants.
