Practicalities of visiting the Cat Museum
The Cat Museum is located on the ground floor of the striking Kuching North City Hall Headquarters Building. Sitting on top of a hill, you can enjoy sweeping views from outside. A short way from the city centre, the bottom of the hill can be reached by public bus in around 15 to 20 minutes. You will then need to walk up the hill for a further ten minutes or so. A more convenient way of getting to the museum is by taxi. A round trip, including the driver’s waiting time whilst you explore, will cost around 60 – 70 MYR (approximately 14 – 16.50 USD).
With loads to look at and absorb, it is recommended to allow at least an hour in the museum, although it is entirely possible for avid cat-lovers to spend a good couple of hours browsing the numerous displays and collections. Others, however, may find that they are done with the kitsch collection in 15

For people, especially younger children, a way to feel a strong connection to the past is through objects that representation of that time in history. For example, after my grandmother passed away, I received one of her many rosaries, allowing me to remember our bond and the influence she had in my life every time I hold her heirloom. In today’s world, one of the only places in which a person is able to see historic artifacts and feel the connection to the piece of history that it represents is a museum.

Robert Darnton’s Great Cat Massacre took place in the 1730s, and shows the angst the local journeymen had against the social system they lived in. The cat massacre was awful in its own right, but represented the disenfranchisement between the journeymen and the entrenched masters. The Cat Massacre was a sign of the changing times as the guild system of the late medieval and early, Early Modern Period when the journeymen would advance to become their own master was replaced with a monopoly system where few a masters were in control and most journeymen had no hope of advancement in society. In the Medieval period and part of the Early Modern period, workers in a trade would enter a guild as an apprentice, rise to journeymen, and finally to master to start their own workshop.
If humans carelessly continue to find love with people that they barely know, it could actually end up in a terrible relationship. Kristen Roupenian, author of the short story “Cat Person” shows this statement to prove itself true using various literary elements. The story she published in the New Yorker, shows the relationship that exists between a twenty-year-old woman named Margot and a thirty-four-years-old man known as Robert.

She proves it by showing the character’s thoughts, by telling the story using the third person limited ()and also by making it appealing to our senses.

My mother and I jumped the fence in order to get the information and pictures I needed. I believe there might have been another way in because there were many people walking the trail. Since the place was shut down, I could not go inside the mini museum, but I got most of my information from the plaques along the trail and each building. On the land, they did have animals such as pigs, sheep, and a horse. All the animals were keep in a barn that looked like it could have been the original design.
Response paper #1 Recently I took a tour of the James E. Lewis Museum of art located in Baltimore, MD. This museum is a part of Morgan State University fine arts building.

Also, there is only one guard to watch the room, and no alarm system for when someone gets too close to an object. This presents issues of the type of clientele for the museum, as the museum would not work with large families with rowdy
The narrator in ‘The Black Cat’ seems to act like two people at once . The narrator starts his story by trying to tell his readers he is not crazy. He says, “Yet, mad am I not -- and very surely do I not dream (“The Black Cat”).” This is a good example of unreliable narrator, because only crazy people try really hard to make others believe they are not crazy.

Museums are a place that serves as an alternative source of information. As time advances, society desensitizes the privilege of having access to such a distinctive reference; threatening the prevalence of museums.

While the financial factor is the basis of any establishment, it can dull the purpose that it serves.
