As the author describes this imagery, he has a negative tone. Words such as "darkness", "windows tightly shut", and "no sound" makes the author's tone negative. This quote is describing the homes as an unhappy place and compares it to the chamber a tomb-world. Every home is individual and separate from each other. This is showing judgmental on the American Society.…
While writing A Little Commonwealth: Family Life in Plymouth Colony, John Demos dealt with an unbelievably difficult task. Even though Plymouth Colony existed more than 300 years ago, he had to make his book relevant and appealing to those of his time during the 1960’s. In the past, many historians that have researched Plymouth and its inhabitants have fallen short when it came to appealing to a much newer audience. This was so because a lot of them were using the same bland sources; the ones that gave the basic information about Puritan society and the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. In other words, all of the stuff that everyone already knows! Therefore, John Demos decided to use a much different strategy while doing his research. In order to compile information about the physical setting of Plymouth Colony and the structure of households, Demos focused on obtaining evidence from the words of actual Mayflower descendents, the Plymouth Colony records…
Throughout “The Custom House” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, various analytical devices, such as an extended metaphor, contrast and heavy imagery, are used to demonstrate the inconsistent Us Federal Government. Hawthorne uses an extended metaphor of “the eagle” throughout the passage alluding to the current US Federal Government. The metaphor establishes an overall understand of a complex and unreliable sense to the system. Through the metaphorical eagle, Hawthorne creates a contrast between the motherly “sheltering” side of the eagle to the “fierceness” of the powerful eagle. Establishing this contradictional persona to the eagle, creates, once more, a reluctance to trust the government. Lastly, Hawthorne uses strong imagery of the “nestlings” being…

Jane Addams thought that settlement houses would make universal the “blessings we associate with a life of refinement and cultivation” by allowing others who were coming from little or nothing, to be able to achieve a better life through understanding. Addams noticed…
Not of the mundane kind that you find printed in newspapers and magazines, but the kind that require some exploration by the imagination rather than number crunching or looking up words in a dictionary. The House of Leaves is a puzzle, many puzzles, riddles, scraps of information, begging to be traced out and explored by an inquisitive mind. Without knowing it, I was quickly drawn into the quirks and eccentricities of the text, and it began to be more important for me to figure out the little riddles in the printed words than simply reading the text as it first appears to the closed mind. I began to dwell on the footnotes, the authenticity of the authors, the symbols and special characters placed strategically in the main body of the story or sometimes hidden in the frames of the pages.…
“The bunk house was a long, rectangular building. Inside, the walls were whitewashed and the floor unpainted. In three walls there were small, square windows, and in the fourth, a solid door with a wooden latch. Against the walls were eight bunks, five of them made up with blankets and the other three showing their burlap ticking. Over each bunk there was nailed an apple box with the opening forward so that it made two shelves for the personal belongings of the occupant of the bunk.”…
The story is about the house more than anything, discribing and then justifying it's character. There seem to be three…
“The townhouse imposed indignities on Mr. Thorpe: its mean conception was the antithesis of what he had known.”…

Eileen Grays' most significant piece of work is the E-1027 house built on the shores of Menton (1926-29). Eileen responds to each of Le Corbusiers' points at E.1027. The roof garden is transformed into an accessible roof terrace without plantings. Pilotis support portions of the volume of the house. The windows of the house open with a completely different system than the one Le Corbusier proposed. Some of E.1027's windows are vertical rather than horizontal bands, but still they are continuous and add flow to the interior rooms. The interior stairways are free, and there is storage places concealed in the walls of the stairs to add storage place. The façade of the house is free and white, while the plan of the house is open.…
