Bell tower

I walked to the Bell Tower, which is located on the campus of the University of California-Riverside (location). The weather was mostly sunny, with a temperature of 66 degrees (weather). The Bell Tower is surrounded by benches on all four sides, where there are four benches on each side. I sit on the east side of the tower (Location). There are four men setting on different benches, one on the north side, and three on the west side (Gender/Location). All men are between the ages of 18-24 (Age/Gender). They all were working on their computers (Tools). However, they left few minutes after I arrived. A group of 5 students (I think they are students, because they are all carrying backpacks and books with them) just arrived. They are a group of…

The Belfory of Bruges is a medieval bell tower in the center of Bruges, Belgium. The tower has a narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, which leads to the top of the 83 m (272 feet) high building. It was significant in two ways. First the building was mainly used to overlook the city and watch out for danger. Second the tower also had many bells which rang at important times such as work hours, meals, or alarms. The view at the top of the tower is beautiful and has some of the most famous…

church was not built for an intricate design, but for a functional purpose. One limitation of using brick to build the church is that it must be a plain, rectangular shape and does not give the architect much room for creative design. By using brick to build a majority of the church it is clear that this church was created for day-to-day functionality over creative design; there are minimal design aspects to this church when compared to churches from previous periods. In addition to the…

The Coney Island Parachute Jump Tower is one of the most iconic landmarks in Brooklyn. It can be seen from Queens, New Jersey, Staten Island, and most of Manhattan. Also, it is a spectacle to observe when illuminated at night. At 250 feet tall and weighing 170 tons, this steel framed structure was actually built for the 1939 New York's World Fair. The tower was then moved to the Coney Island boardwalk in 1941 to be part of the Steeple Chase amusement park. Yes, the Parachute Jump tower was…

We remembered to stay close to the field so that we could hear the calls for water. The conversation was so intense we mistakenly walked further than regular. Next, I distinctly remember hearing loud ship like bells ringing. Around the plantation, bells ringing meant two things: runaway or fire. Abraham and I, heard the bells and looked at each other with fear. We quickly made our way back to the path to led us by the water stations. As we got closer, we heard dogs barking and seconds later we…

uncomfortableness around your peers with a sigh. They are not amused and have decided you are blacklisted from their social group. These are the elite, and only few can gain entry to this group during your first years of high school. The bell rings and you hastily move to history down the hall, ducking and dodging the herds of sheep who have nothing better to do than walk as a barricade in the hall, a single annoying organism. As you arrive you see a select few with the same interests as you.…

Edgar Allen Poe work on “The Bells” makes use of the following literary techniques: mood, rhythm, universal themes, and lastly the style of poem. The Bells consist of four stanzas of varying lengths that follows no particular rhyme scheme (Poetry E., 2003). Each stanza consists of four different bells: sleigh, wedding, alarm and lastly funeral (Poetry E., 2003). Common occurrence of the ringing, Poe finds a metaphor for the progression of the common man from the carefree times of youth (as in…

For half of my kindergarten year I would hear that bell. Not the one the teacher would rattle to get her students attention, but the one that indicated that the time for recess had come. I would halfheartedly get out of my seat and walk out onto the play yard. Ready to go on a lonely adventure that my imagination had been dying to show to me. I felt like each second ticked on like hours as I ran out of new adventures to go on, and after a while I would just end up waiting for the bell to ring…

The bell rang dismissing students from the torture called school. Piper and I packed up our belongings and made our way out of the library. "Hey, Piper, did Gabe give you a solid reason why he broke up with you?" The question should have been asked earlier, but my evil mind had gotten way ahead of me. "Nothing in particular. He said we were getting too serious. Thus, we were done," Piper answered. I nodded and replied, "Well, he will be regretting it soon. I need to go to my locker. I'll meet…

“Pepper!!” The voice echoed up the stairs. “Pepper!! Get out of bed this minute!!” Pepper’s Mom shouted over the screaming of the baby in the background. “If you’re late to school again, you’re grounded for a month!” Pepper rolled over and pulled the covers up to her chin. “Just five more minutes,” she whispered to herself. Pepper thought about how the day would unfold. She’d show up to school and the math teacher, Mr. Blotson, would give her a disappointed look because she hadn’t simplified the…
