When I first laid eyes on the on the Harold Washington library I fell in I’ve with the gargantuan building. It had so many imperfections on the outside made it beautiful. Most people would call the building beautiful right off the back, I like noticing the smaller imperfections because it helps me appreciate the building as a master piece instead of just a building. In this paper I’ll tell you exactly why I love this library so much in more detail then you might be able to handle. When I first seeped into to the halls of HWL I didn’t know what to say it was a particular beauty that could not be decried in word but feelings. The first room that I visited that day was called the winter green room. It was a place of serenity and calming peace so pure it takes your breath away. An enchanted place of knowledge: good and evil. When I saw the winter green room it was anything but winter.. it was a vibrant geen almost a perfect represtatin of the garden of eden. The trees were placed strategically in the middle to attracted any person who craved peace. When you first enter you hear nothing. Then a nanosecond latter you hear everything.my brain moved so fast that even enstine himself couldn’t compare my thoughts to E=Mc2. I thought of all the possibilities that the room held. The best part of being in this garden of eden was being able to look up into a sky so blue that only Gods tears could produce.When I looked up it was as if I were floating on a cloud of pure un adultred love and warmth. It was an odd type of giddiness that bubbled from my lips at that thought. As surley as it came it ended. My eyes gloly floted back to earth and took in the wonders of my own (yet many others) winter green room :My Garden Of Eden. After being dismissed By my Teacher she gave us one rule. And

    Growing up reading and writing has always been a part of my life; you could always catch my mom sitting in her chair with a book by her favorite author in her hand. I’ll always remember the day that she read a play to me, she was never into theatre as a kid but she read it as if she had been on Broadway. I think that is where my love for reading as well as theatre first started, just watching her so focused and completely into a book. It always amazed me and to this day it still does. I’ve also had some amazing teachers throughout my school years. Have you ever had those teachers who would do anything in the world for you? The teachers who just made you so excited to learn? I know that I have a few; they are the ones that you could never forget. From my English teachers to my theatre teachers, they have all made a difference in my life. I know that it sounds crazy that theatre ties in with all of this, but it does in so many ways.…

    The Harold Washington Library was constructed in 1991, the winning design of Thomas Beeby. After being stored in temporary warehouses for twelve years, the city of Chicago finally decided to create a permanent home for the 4,700,000 items belonging to the public library. A design competition was held with the hope that hundreds of submissions would produce a new building that was not only pleasing to the eye and cost efficient, but also one that would end the embarrassment of not having a library building. In the end, only six designs were submitted, most likely as a result of the impractical set of rules surrounding the competition. Some of the other entries included designs by Dirk Lohan, Arthur Erikson, and Helmut Jahn, whose design actually jumped across the el tracks.…

While its white marble front facade, concrete antebellum columns, a Romanesque elevation of steps, and the silver cap topping the rotunda cloaks the dreariness…

    When I read the short story, Rappaccini’s daughter, I noticed a lot of interesting things. One of the main things I noticed was the garden. I think Rappacini’s garden is a substitute for the Garden of Eden. That was very obvious to me because there were a lot of examples to back me up. I think it was very unique how the author organized everything and made it sort of like an allegory to the Garden of Eden. Also the characters alone, were very good examples on how it was alike.…

    Somewhere along Interstate 95 south, I had my movie moment. At 2:00 AM nothing matters but sleep. So when a friend of mine shook me awake as our coach bus “La Cubana” passed through Washington D.C, my mind was elsewhere. Until I opened my eyes, my body was filled with instant annoyance at her. The moment I did open them though, I was greeted by my peer’s awestruck faces at the sight that lay before them. The air around me had suddenly transformed to remedy making me whole. I had never been to Washington D.C.; just seen pictures online or in history textbooks. But being there and seeing how grand and beautiful the Washington and Jefferson Memorial were took my breath away.…
