Comic Strip Quilt

I believe that using images rather than words helps portray a story more thoroughly. It is easier to tell a story using color, vivid images, and art work to explain events. In addition, I believe that telling a story using images helps someone understand it because words can only tell so much, or a picture is worth a thousand words. I enjoyed drawing the comic strip and I believe people can appreciate my story more by visually by looking at it. I also would rather look at someone's life story in using pictures rather than reading it in words. I think it helps one explain more detail about the story that they are trying to tell. My grandparents came from Estonia all the was to the United States during the second world where. There they settled in Toms River, New Jersey and are still living here today. If they didn't come to American I believe I wouldn't be living here today.

Women's House

My building, Women’s House, is shaped like a castle with rooms that adhere to women’s everyday needs. The rooms include a workout room, a king size bed room, a kitchen with a healthy variety of foods, a spa and salon, a study/TV room and even a tanning room. Therefore, a woman does not even need to leave the house and rush around to meet her needs. It is shaped like a castle because it is a sturdy and regal type of building, to represent women and her inner most beauty. Each room is equipped with the women’s everyday needs. For example, the bathroom is filled with beauty products to match up to any women’s need and the restaurant is filled with a healthy but tasty variety of foods. The outside of the house is surrounded by flowers, and protected from any one who wants to take the women’s house away. The strengths of the house are that it offers a wide variety of rooms that meet a women’s need therefore she does not even need to leave the Women’s House to get her errands done. The weakness of the house can be that it may be a little to old fashion, because of the castle like structure, however it was built to show the strength that women has. In addition, it shows how women’s needs should be protected and not taken from her.
