My Childhood Bedroom
As I sit bundled up in a warm, brown, comfy hoodie and a large, red blanket, I say to myself, “Where is my favorite place to be?” Well that’s easy because it’s here in my room. My room is the one place where I can be me. I can be perfectly content by myself in this room happily laying there watching TV. When sitting on my soft bed with cozy, red comforter, I look around my room and notice that all my walls are different, yet they all tie together perfectly.
On the wall at the end of my bed I have a bookcase built into my off white walls. On my bookcase I have an array of childhood treasures. My stack of books looks like a tall tower full of gossip, tricks, and tips. On my top shelf is where I place my photos, one of which is my favorite, the one of myself and my best friend as a child. Every time I glance over at it, it makes me smile and remember the good times we had. That same smile I had on my face the day we met. Below my window is my dresser. It’s a golden brown color. Almost the same color as warm, golden, brown bread that’s just come out of the oven.
Looking to my left the wall is mainly covered by a large floor length mirror. Above my mirror is a picture my friends and I playing in the grassy field behind my dad’s house where I grew up. Beside that is my black and white clock. I hear it tick, tock, tick, tock every day and every night. Below my tick, tock clock is a wooden decoration that says: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I love this wall the most because I can see who I am, where I came from, and who, and what I care most about.
Behind me is my third wall. It’s the wall with the important things, my door, and my bed. I have a handmade side table that my grandfather had made for me. On top of my side table I have a sleek, silver, transparent lamp with a deep, black, round lamp shade. Next to my side table is my luxurious, comfortable

    Though I may have been trapped here for some time, I have managed to stay sane through drawings. I drew how I felt when I felt it. Now however, I am growing restless, and am tempted to peer into the outer world, even though I know it will bring dread and resentment upon my mind. Yet I still have a sliver of hope in my heart and so I decided to view- the mounted screen. I turned it on and waited for the bulbs to warm themselves. Finally an image began to fade into place. I was astonished at what I saw.…

    Here in this small community, seemingly blocked off from the rest of the world, lies a small slate colored house with a large white tarp sheltering the driveway. Adjacent to it, is a fairly large camping trailer that, if it's lucky, gets used for its intended purpose. The maroon deck in the foreground brings life and color to the dull, 1- story house. The front yard, in which I spent my childhood, seems everlastingly covered with the blades of the towering trees that I have grown so accustomed to. The aroma of the rainfall the night prior still lingers in the air, even as the sun begins to rise over the dewy, frost ridden lawn. Here, in the confines of my own habitat, listening to the songs of the morning birds and the blue jays, is where I connected with my surroundings. Here, is where I call home..…

    The physical setting of the room that the main character occupies has a great affect on her well being throughout the story. When the main character first walks into the room she states, "It was a nursery first, and then the playroom and gymnasium, I should judge, for the windows are barred for little children, and there are rings and things in the walls" (400), this shows us, the reader how the main character thought of her room in the sense that we can feel her emotions dropping in this sentence. Furthermore, we most certainly cannot leave out the wallpaper. This…

    The background of this image is a brown, brick wall. This wall may signify the walls that are put in between people sometimes due to technology. If someone is too obsessed with technology, then they may lose contact with the outside world causing him or her to lose friends.

    I walked back through the soft grass, stepping onto the little pathway that led to our back door. I opened the screen door, walking into our old living room; though, it was more like looking into a room I had never seen before. It was vacant, missing our various pieces of furniture that had lived and entertained us for years. The red, comfy couch no longer sat against the wall, inviting us to sit down. Our bookshelves, full of stories and fairytales that Mama would read to me, were gone, in some moving truck on its way to Indiana at that very moment. And lastly, our ancient family clock, the one that had been passed down for multiple generations, was absent from its place on the mantle. If I thought hard enough, I could remember and imagine the laughter of people and the aroma of southern cooking all throughout the…

    The narrator’s descriptions of the wallpaper begin as a mere dislike. She finds the color ugly and the pattern chaotic and senseless; in much the same way that her own illness seems senseless and tiresome. Her husband believes she has a nervous depression, and so he whisks her away to the large mansion in the middle of nowhere, and she is allowed to do nothing but rest. She doesn’t think it is such a bad way to be treated, and it may even do her some good, but…

    As I sit here staring at these whites walls, I find it very easy to ponder with my artistic thoughts. They look as though they are waiting to be filled with memories and creative ideas. The strangely arranged area shows the unique, fun, and creative personalities of the beings that live in this enclosed room; it’s almost as if a burst of happiness blew up in here the night before today. Ryan Sheckler, taking up one large portion of the wall is extremely inviting and dreamy to look at, I gaze into his eyes every time I look up and ponder.…

    Walking down the stairs, turning the corner, I enter my room. As I open the door, I immediately feel the soft carpet, I am enveloped in the familiar surroundings. The two colored walls, the shelves that hold my books and various trinkets, and my bed with its headboard holding an assortment of items. Sitting on the downy soft comforter, I smell a faint whiff of sweet pea that is constantly in the air. While I sit I listen to the quiet music that is always playing in the background. All the while thinking of contentment.…

    Sullivan, Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, Mushu and Cricket from Mulan, and Au Naturel from the Minion Movie). Next to my window is my collage of pictures. I have 3 short silver wires and each holds 4 bright pictures; below those, I have a wood frame that has a picture of me and my childhood friends; and my last picture on that wall is my "Alice Down the Rabbit Hole", it is another and different interpretation of the story. Now on to my right wall, this wall is a little different than the rest. My twin sized bed is on the floor right up against the wall, but the wall itself slants inward, right over my bed. My blanket on my bed is an orange quilt that has an old purple floral design on it. It has a retro look. At the foot of my bed, is a short, white foot dresser that my great-grandfather built my mother. On that is where my black Dell computer and my white Google Chrome charge (those lay side by side), next to those is where I keep my large and colorful Biology binder. On top of that stands my Pocket People that I got when I traveled to New…

    These walls have heard my cries more than anyone else will and well these mirrors have seen me judge every feature of myself more than anyone else. Always told myself around age 15 that I was stuck in a 25 year old's body and in some ways I was. From the depression to the anxiety, I made it all on my own. Being the child of an African immigrant is not exactly the easiest life to live, but we all go through adversities and like the saying goes it doesn’t matter how you start but how you finish. I finished as a whole new person, a person most will never know. Hearing the car parking the footsteps getting louder and being too scared to face it so I ran to my room. From the arguing to the screams the good to the bad, it made me who I am today.…

    I wake up from the night only realizing that I'm not in my own room. I'm not in my own bed. I can only see blurbs of color. My black and green room turned into light blues and whites. I hear two people over me. One man and one woman. Then, I hear my mom the corner with faint cries. “Mom. Where are you? I can’t see,” I stick my hands out in front of me. More cries come from that corner. “Mom?”…

    The walls of my bedroom are unique. Two walls are painted a soft tan and the other two walls are a dark chocolate brown. The cream colored floor is fluffy and soft. The ceiling is white with a fan painted tan with a cheetah print accent. All four walls have rectangular shaped objects lined with photos of my friends and me. The return air vent near ceiling has dried roses suspended by string that no longer have a scent. They bring me memories of my grandmother that passed, I keep them there to have something to look at in remembrance of her. From the entrance of my room, there is a large open space covered by glass and blinds on the far left wall, from this part of my bedroom you are able to see activity through a large piece of glass.…

    Description of My Room

    Well, there is not much to say about my small (7 m2) room. When you go in, first what is visible is a big window and the nice scenery outside with many trees and a kindergarten full of children during spring and summer. You could feel the calming atmosphere of this small space because of the light blue colour, that reminds of light blue sky , which is quite relaxing. On the ceiling there are phosphorescent stars and the moon , so at night it is even more psychodelic. There is a nice, white big table on the left which is coverd with dark blue (I would say even garnet) top, on which I put my laptop and xerox copies from the College. Under the table there is a small corner cupboard where I keep some old papers, which probably I will never read again… There is as well a stacking hi-fi which goes loud many times during a day. I also have garnet paper box when there are clean sheets of paper. There is also a desk lamp with pencils and pens put in (a special construction of the lamp allows that) Above the table there is a bookshelf mainly with books connected with yoga and healthy lifestyle as well as an English dictionary. In the left corner of the room there is a huge Pink Panther which is hanging from the walls in a funny posture. On the ledge (which is in front of the door) there is a small plant (I don’t know a name). On the right side of the room there is a a foldable bed plus shelves unit. It’s huge and white, but very handy in such a small room like this. On this piece, there are two ferns andone statue of Lao Tze – who was a famous Chinese philosopher. Above that bed there is a huge painting, hanging on the wall, in blue and white colours, with a woman from fantasy world – she looks like a beautiful elf. The floor is covered with nice woodblock and under the ledge lays a yoga mat and the blanket which I use for exercising my body, breath and mind. And this is all which I have in my small cosy room in Rubinkowo…
