Beyond the pretentious attitudes of the cityscapes and the tension radiating from pressured individuals sits a log cabin. Log cabins display a friendly outlook through the welcoming family room, an easy going mindset through the relaxed forest, and a dependable attitude through the strong front porch. It is these aspects of the log cabin that help represent my sincere personality.
The family room of the log cabin represents friendliness which is the first aspect of my sincere personality. A warm and lively glow is cast upon the family room and the exposed beams made of lumber that hold the cheerful structure in place. The cozy roof that can be seen above shelters family and friends from the frigid and piercing winter wind. …show more content…
Towering trunks of pine and birch grow with ease in the rich abundance of soil that is the forest floor. Each tree accepts the chaotic placement of silky pine needles and glistening pebbles that merge together on the ground. The bending of the grained bark is like a rainy Sunday, relaxed and peaceful. A carefree attitude is represented throughout the forest because all trees grow at their own pace. The forest has no plans for the future; therefore, instead of stressing and worrying each tree just grows and learns along the way. A vast amount of thick, gnarled roots peak out from beneath the dark forest soil. Each wood fiber encounters no obstacles while extending from the base of the tree trunk. Every root seems to create a rough wooden pathway from the tree. The roots represent an easygoing personality because their strength allows them to grow easily.

Just as the radiant hues of the sunset faded to black, a violent layer of snow pounded to the ground. The clear skies and mild temperature of the day had given us no indication of the extreme snow storm. Thankfully, the porch provided me with a protective shelter and barrier from the elements. The roof above managed to block each thick flake of snow and jagged shard of ice. The frigid chill was becoming more intense as the snowstorm raged on so I swiftly grabbed onto the porch railing in front of me and relocated to the toasty interior of the log cabin. I ran over to the front window and drew back the red gingham curtains to watch the progression of the descending snow. The rust coloured clay flower pots holding blooming chrysanthemums now seemed out of place with the blanket of sparkling ice and snow covering them. I was just about to turn away from the action outside when I saw a faint movement through the depths of the rough tree trunks beyond the front porch. I was able to make
