1. Electrician Do you have a circuit breaker that keeps tripping, a broken outlet or a damaged wiring? Electricity plays an important role in our lives. Lost power means lost time, lost productivity and in some cases, lost money. So when electrical problems occur in your home, or when it comes to electrical upgrade, you need the most reliable team of electricians. Fixing electrical problems is something you shouldn’t attempt to do by yourself, and that’s why you need an electrician. Backed by years

At first glance, the opening scene to Margaret Laurence's A Bird in the House provides descriptive insight into the home Vanessa will view as her safe haven. However, through analysis of Laurence’s use of imagery, symbolism, and foreshadowing, the Brick House is not as impenetrable of a shelter as it had been known to represent. The Brick House is, in itself, full of underlying meaning. The family members are the only ones to call it that, to the rest of the town it is known as “the old Connor place”

It is the rare tree that grows in the poorest of the neighborhoods and survives despite the lack of love it receives. It is the small, run-down library with the librarian who never notices the children who come in everyday. It is the horse that children love to steal a glance at because of its shining brown mane and tail. It is the weekly trip to the junkie where all the kids collect rags, paper, metal, and other junk they find in their apartment or street. It is these small collection of memories

her “destiny”. Melinda’s tree in Speak symbolize Melinda’s feelings. First, the tree in Speak symbolizes Melinda’s feelings. In this scene, Melinda is in Biology class, and she is drawing a tree with David, her lab partner. “I try to connect the branch to a tree. It looks pretty good better than anything I have drawn so far in art” (Anderson 110). This quote shows that Melinda is drawing better than she has ever drawn before. She is putting more effort into her drawings. Melinda is feeling better

Irony adds drama to the story and engages the reader. There are three specific examples of situational irony in There Will Come Soft Rains: The house continues to perform its daily tasks even though no one lives there, the house is destroyed by a tree branch that starts a fire yet it survived a nuclear fallout, and Mrs. McClellan’s favorite poem describes the situation in the story. The first example of situational irony can be seen in the fact that the house continues to do its everyday tasks even though

night, Gene and Finny are pulled from bed by a group of several other boys from Devon and are questioned about what really happened before Finny fell out of the tree. Even Leper is questioned. When Leper begins to say that Gene purposely shook the branch, Finny stands up and shouts about how he doesn’t care either way, before running away, falling down the stairs, and breaking his leg a second time. Later, Gene sneaks into the infirmary where Finny is staying but he is absolutely furious, and makes

In the book “The Giving Tree”, the tree gave all she could to the boy she loved very much. I believe “Be the Tree” means that Seth would have wanted to be like the tree to everyone receiving the scholarship. He would want to be like the giving tree, which he is in a special way. To me, Being the tree is the scholarship recipient. I have read where Seth was a very Christian person, who wanted everyone to know Christ. I think that is also apart of being the tree, learning and teaching people about

Oz Porter stared down the thickly wooded slope, his gaze fixed on the endless panorama of green. Trees, swaying in the slight breeze. The place had a definite odor, the sweet freshness of pine. He breathed it all in, savoring the familiar tang, the underlying musty aroma of undergrowth and leaf mold. Slowly disintegrating into mulch that would carpet the forest floor and nurture the new growth. He called this place home. It wasn’t home. Home was the small town of Copperville, but they’d been forced

“Scrap Scrap” said the tree as I was climbing up it. This was a big jungle tree about the size of a skyscraper. It grew tall it had slippery green moss on the side and had long branches the size of a huge limo, but I don’t know what that is because I have never seen one. I have lived in the jungle all of my life with just a van and a little bit of gas left in it, in the middle of nowhere and I can’t do anything about it. When I was little my parents had got divorced and I had to go to an orphanage

Innocence Lost but Character Same Sarah Jewett’s “A White Heron” is a brilliant story with many symbols. The protagonist, Sylvia, is a young girl who is at home in the woods. One day a stranger asks for lodging, and Sylvia’s view of life was expanded. This expansion leads to a loss of innocence for Sylvia, however her loss of innocence does not take away from her loyal and loving character. The specific images of the natural setting, the season and time of day, and hunting weapons all contribute

threw the rock. There was nobody there. So I picked up the rock and cleaned the blood off of it with my blue jacket sleeve. But there was one stain that would not come off, no matter how much I tried I could not remove it. I even picked up a broken branch and tried to scrape the blood off, but it did not budge. But as looked back I saw this wonderful house, which was just built and as there was nobody there I decided to walk in and try and find a bathroom to clean the damage done by the stone. I decided

An Outcast’s Forest Everett Mamor once said, “We can learn a lot from trees: they're always grounded, but never stop reaching heavenward”(Mamor). In literature, trees can show many things, such as growth, change, and life. In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, trees are used to represent the main character Melinda and her struggles. Melinda is an outcast at school, shunned by her peers for calling the police on a party where she was raped. She is almost invisible at home, where her family

LOST AND FOUND I'm running, puffing, slowly feeling a sharp pain in my stomach. It’s a stitch. I hate stitches. Whenever I run around the block with Phillip I always get a stitch, he tells me it is never an excuse to lose, this time I won't lose, I’ll beat him. I'm Jedda. I love to go outside and play with my mates, one of which is Phillip. He’s a bit chubbier than I am, plus he is very small, probably around 5’3. I’m only a couple inches bigger but at least I’m skinnier. We always take the

The Rules of Engagement documentary focused on the strained relationship between the Branch Davidians and the Federal government that ultimately led to the deaths of many people. The infamous showdown in Waco, Texas between the two groups has had many different opinions on who is to blame.

As the events of Waco, Texas, unfolded, civilians around the nation watched in horror as members of the Branch of Davidians followed their leader, David Koresh, into a standoff with the ATF and the FBI. David Koresh used his rise to power to extort his followers and use them for his benefit until his death. He showed society how easily cults could weaken one’s mindset to make them follow every whim in return for salvation. It is common within cults to be told that to reach “salvation” members must

Many people try to change how they are to fit in . In school kids try to act cool, making up stories about themselves. Even if they don't try to change, other still judge them for fitting in or not trying. This is a problem now and back in times when color people were not accepted as equals. With this in mind, a great example is Jackie Robinson for his struggle to integrate. To start off Jackie Robinson came from a poor family and raised by his single mother He was the youngest out of five. In

Why are the government doing this to the Oregonian ranchers Dwight and Steve Hammond? The ranchers starting a fires on federal land near their ranch were convicted of federal arson charges.

Branch Rickey, the baseball team executive of Brooklyn Dodgers, who always supported Jackie Robinson but at the same time endured certain hardships during the process of helping Jackie overcome the color discrimination and prejudices from White. Back in the 1940s, it was the period when racism, subjugation and inequality toward blacks were so strong that they were nearly being enforced like a law. The White class and the Black class were kept apart ranging from the washroom written "White only"

group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous. The Branch Davidians was a cult. It was a spinoff of the Seventh-Day Adventists. The Seventh-Day Adventist church is a church that believes Jesus will come back to earth one day, and they use Saturday as the Sabbath day.
