...Before noticing any smell, decoration or furniture it is likely that you will be welcomed by my one year old pug. The first room where I spend most of my time, the living room and kitchen, is rectangular with sand colored tile and four white walls all naked except for a glass clock with black dots marking each hour. Still standing in the door, trying to zone out my pug which loves attention, you will see an ivory-white legged dining table with a jet-black glass top converted to my working desk and next to it a white stuffed chair with black legs. In the middle of the room is a black, leather clad sofa with an adjustable back. Although it looks flat and uncomfortable, sitting down you will feel it is soft enough to sleep on. In front of the sofa is a non-peculiar white coffee table, just big enough to house a couple of glasses, a book and some snacks. On the opposite side of the sofa is a flat-screen TV resting on one of those IKEA TV compartments, this one being brown colored and without doors. Sitting in the sofa, to your right, is a big basket made from rotting wood filled with books, mostly fictional crime or thrillers, a few months’ worth of Vanity Fairs and chargers to various devices in my belonging. After this, behind a glass wall and door is my kitchen. Looking straight ahead is the room’s only window, big and wide enough to light up the whole room, overlooking the garden and swimming pool and always open letting in natural breeze. The kitchen is small but big enough,...

But then I learned that he had laughed at my proud name, Montresor, the name of an old and honored family. I promised myself that I would make him pay for this — that I would have revenge. You must not suppose, however, that I spoke of this to anyone. I would make him pay, yes; but I would act only with the greatest care. I must not suffer as a result of taking my revenge. A wrong is not made right in that manner. And also the wrong would not be made right unless Fortunato knew that he was paying and knew who was forcing him to pay. I gave Fortunato no cause to doubt me. I continued to smile in his face, and he did not understand that I was now smiling at the thought of what I planned for him, at the thought of my revenge. Fortunato was a strong man, a man to be feared. But he had one great weakness: he liked to drink good wine, and indeed he drank much of it. So he knew a lot about fine wines, and proudly believed that he was a trained judge of them. I, too, knew old wines well, and 68 E d g a r A l l a n P o e : S t o r y t e l l e r I bought the best I could find. And wine, I thought, wine would give me my revenge! It was almost dark, one evening in the spring, when I met Fortunato in the street, alone. He spoke to me more warmly than was usual, for already he had drunk more wine than was good for him. I acted pleased to see...

Therefore, we are required to investigate the building defect of a building. We also have to identify the possible cause of the building defect which occur in that building.

...Athena calmly dodges his punches. "My turn," she says in a matter-of-fact way, kicking him back against a wall. Michael immediately lashes out at her, rushing head first. Athena steps to one side and catches his head under her arm. She steps to the side to get him off balance then falls onto her back smashing his face on the ground and rolls back onto her feet. Michael stands up slowly, swaying, nose bloodied. He sees a handgun, moves, but Athena kicks him in the face. He goes down hard, spitting up blood. Athena kicks the gun, spinning across the floor. She waits patiently as Michael holds onto the wall to stand. Too tired to throw a punch, he lunges at her again, trying to wrap his arms around her. She twists out of the way and drives her elbow into his neck with staggering force. Michael stumbles back, mouth open, unable to to breathe. Athena obliges him with a kick to the gut, and he hits the floor awkwardly with his back against the wall but looks relieved as his lungs fill with air. Athena takes her Beretta from the agent lying on the ground, and Michael holds out a hand...

...Bartleby the Scrivener The meaningful projection in this story is the walls. These walls are symptoms of separation and represent Bartleby's separation from both reality and people. This set the tone for the story, as the relationships with each other seem to be purely professional in nature. This impersonality of the characters is significant - the business based world in which they operate has no room for personal interaction. Nothing is learned about any of the characters beyond what they are like in the office. The walls serve as a safe haven for Bartleby, as he is in a world with societal expectations and he chooses not to conform and the walls, in essence, allow him to retreat into a world of his own, thus protecting himself from those who may think he is a threat to their own materially oriented world. It is as though I am involved in trying to deal personally with Bartleby, a sensation that keeps me fully engaged with the story as it heads toward its tragic ending. "Strangely huddled at the base of the wall, his knees drawn up, and lying on his side, his head touching cold stones, I saw the wasted Bartleby" (Litz,1994, p.165-166). "I felt his hand, when a tingling shiver ran up my arm and down my spine to my feet" (Litz,1994, p.166). After Bartleby dies, alone and imprisoned, I learn a little of his past; apparently he worked in the dead letter office. Could it be that this depressing job affected Bartleby's sanity? Bartleby died of sadness...

...Observation of Young Children I observed for two and one-half hours from 9:39 am to 11:55 am. The preschool has three teachers and a full enrollment of 24 children, ages 2 and five, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They also have 24 children, age three, on Tuesday and Thursday. On the Friday that I visited, there were 20 children in attendance. There is a large enclosed play area outside. There is a large covered sandbox area with several toys including large plastic scoops, a large metal spoon, plastic bowls, shovels and buckets, a large play structure with a slide and climbing apparatus, a log cabin play house with several tools; such as plastic hammers, wrenches, and saws. There is a big sidewalk that goes around the yard where the children ride the tricycles. There are six tricycles but they were not out for use on the day that I observed. Inside there are many areas for playing and learning. There is a small room that has a cradle, dolls, blankets, dress-up clothes and shoes for girls, child size furniture; table, sink, dishes, and other kitchen items. Also kept in this room is a large roll of paper that can be cut to any length for drawing and painting. In this room is where one of the teachers meets for story time with her group of eight children. The large room is divided into two parts for the other two teachers and their groups when it is story time. The divider is opened when the individual group time is over. In the large room are many different activity...

...Anslem Kiefer’s Parsifal I is full of many of the different elements of design discussed in the chapter. The room in the painting has a unique use of light, lines, (a) symmetry, color, space, and vantage point. The artist has both expressive and classical lines in the piece. The wooden floorboards and walls are separated by fairly straight standard lines; while the grain of the wood is flowing and full of curves appearing to me to be more expressive. The room in the painting looks fairly dark with one window lighting a select area lighting illuminating a crib. Though the painting portrays the corner of the room the corner is not dead center is sort of at an odd angle. I believe the focal points are the crib and window which are not in the center of the room so the painting is not symmetrical in that respect. But all the floorboards and boards on the wall are layed out with very straight lines giving it an interesting contrast. The room is very large with only a small crib filling the void. The empty space grows darker the farther away from the window you look; some could see this as almost scary in appearance because of the very dark space in the back of an already darkly colored room. All these things make the piece much more complex. The more I learn about art techniques and the elements of design the more respect I gain for the artists and their works. Everything they put down matters no line or space should be taken for granted because they most likely put it there for...

...outlets and the routing of your cable .When deciding on the location of your outlets, try to visualize where you'll eventually be placing the furniture in the room in relation to the location of your television. Internet services are also being provided now by a lot of cable companies so placing an outlet in a spot near your planned computer station is also a good idea .In general it's a good idea to put at least one outlet in every room whether or not you plan to use it immediately. At least it will be there when it is needed, avoiding the drilling of any unsightly holes in the future. Outlet boxes can be purchased at any hardware store and should be fastened to the wall stud in the location that you want at the same height as existing electrical outlets. It is recommended to install the outlet box in the adjacent wall stud cavity. Any wiring system should have a suitable ground and wiring for your cable TV needs is no exception. When planning your wiring layout always take the point of grounding under initial consideration. This is where most cable companies prefer to enter...

...porch, I can't help but notice a high-backed rocker on one side and a bench worn smooth by age on the other. Both remind me of the many hours spent here enjoying the weather and view. Turning the door knob and entering the foyer is like taking a step back in time. The door, is the same as when I was a kid, the windows are free of curtains, only shades yellowing from age, pulled at night, as if privacy is needed out here in the boondocks. Mom's big over-stuffed floral couch is set beside the well-stocked bookcase. One lonely picture with the words "Home, Sweet Home" hangs on the wall over the fireplace. Just to the right is a doorway, minus a door, calling us to investigate the sweet smell drifting our way. Upon entering the kitchen, a rich smell of freshly baked bread overtakes the senses. Mom removes the loaves from the belly of the oven leaving them to cool in neat rows on the old marble table. The walls were white and had little kitchen knick knacks like chickens and things of that...
