  1. This artist lives in a very nice room. There are paintings all over his wall; most of them are known throughout the world, such as the Mona Lisa. He has an intricate bookcase on the side of his room filled with all types of artist’s books that talk about all periods of art. He has a beautiful white sofa that is made of the most expensive thread on the market. He usually spends all his time in his room trying to create the most fascinating paintings and push himself even further. He is the most dedicated artist that I know
    This child is worse than any child I have ever seen. There are toys all over the floor so deep that they have to be measured in feet. There is play do splattered all over his walls. The only way to open the door is running at it really fast and pushing as hard as you can. He is a little brat too; he throws his toys at the wall if you yell at him for doing something bad. Even his parents try to stay away from him most of the time. It would take the guys from hoarders to clean up his room.
    This military leader is a dictator. His room is full of old retired generals that inspired him when he was young. In the back of his room there is a little supply room where he keeps his favorite alcohol that he drinks after every battle. He has the flag of his country up on his wall and salutes it every day. His men all respect him with all their heart and he treats them fairly. He has books in his room of famous generals from years ago, Patton, Rommel and many others. He lives very nicely but knows that there are men who need to be commanded.

  2. The type of room that an artist would have would be a big room with different paintings around the room. Their bed would be a medium size bed that they designed, they created their own bed sheets with spray paint, and the pillow was colorful. The walls were each different colors with graffiti on them. The ceiling was painted; it looked like the night sky with a full moon and stars. They combined all the different types of rugs put together into one big rug. They had a walk in closet that looked like someone splatter paint all over the room. It’s easy to tell how their personality is by the colors in the room. If its dark colors than they mostly are depressed or angry. Or if there are light colors than they can be happy.
    A child’s room would have a small bed with bars on the edge so that they wouldn’t fall out the bed. The walls were a sky blue color with white clouds. There is a gray big rug in the middle of the room so that the child can play on the floor with their toys. They would have a big treasure box or a toy box by the door that is filled with toys and board games to play with. There would be stuff animals on the bed. There was a moon shaped night light by the bed. They had stars on their wall that glow in the dark. They had a light brown dresser that was across the room. There was a picture of the family on top of the dresser.
    A military leader’s room would be a small room with a small bed. There would be a box of letters that they have saved. Pictures of everyone they loved saved in the box with the letters. The bed sheets were a little dirty and had stops on them. The pillow was worn out and not as fluffy, also dirty. The room was a small room and a little dresser with a family picture next to the bed so that they can see it whenever they move. The floor had no rugs and was always cold so their feet’s would be cold if they didn’t wear a type of footwear to walk around in.

  3. In the artists room not many people realize what is there. They see an easel, topped with a completed painting of a mountain in the dead of winter. It has twenty climbers on it and you can see their camp at the bottom. The paintbrush is left hanging on the ledge of the easel, still with dry paint. Below the easel there are three other paintings similar to the mountain painting. They are simply left there in wait to never get sold or looked at in a museum. These are the signs of the artist and how unfortunately he didn’t become the famous artist he had dreamed about.

    In a child’s room there are toys all around; a fire engine, a rattle and a bag of toy soldiers. The toy soldiers are set up in a line facing at another of the same organization. They aim at each other waiting to shoot but that will only happen in the young child’s mind. The rattle is laying there under his crib waiting to be played with but is ultimately neglected because of the other choices. Lastly the fire engine is at the center of the room obviously being most dear to the child.

    In the office of the military leader there are a hundred books lining the shelves of his solid red oak book-case. Under the only window in his office there is a trunk, probably filled with a few medals of past wars that are only but memories now. There is a quote up on his wall by Abraham Lincoln and also one by George S. Patton. The leader appears to be a colonel because of the markings on the jacket hung on the back of his door. It is strangely clean in the room, most of it neat and orderly. All of this probably due to previous experiences in boot camp I’m sure.

  4. The Artist
    Paintings all over the walls, a four post master bed hand sculpted from mahogany wood covered in colorful blankets. A few chairs cover a small table that holds all of my art supplies. It stands next to my easily. I also have a wood burning kit along with a few knives if I decide to whittle some wood into a new sculpture. There are a few other miscellaneous items tossed across the room that I have yet to put away. It is too stressful to be an artist so I haven’t had time to clean up my room. It could be worse there could be paint on the floor from my last projects.
    The Child
    Toys all around the room a large teddy bear on the racecar bed with a convertible car sheet. My power ranger action figures are laid out across the floor ready to do battle with the forces of evil. My nerf guns are laid up against the wall loaded with darts. My stuffed animals are on my bed ready for when it’s my bed time to curl up with me and fall asleep. I have a small television in the room to watch my cartoons Saturday mornings. I don’t know what color the carpet is because of all the toys and other things covering the floor.
    The Military Leader
    My room is just the inside of a tent in the middle of a desert camp. There is a small cot in the corner of the tent where I sleep or read during my down time. My rifle is next to my cot on my footlocker which holds all of my important possessions that I took with me overseas. I have a small desk in the tent along with my bed so I can sign the documents that I need to for the expense reports and damage reports. I keep everything ship shape, that is one of the things that I still take pride in from my time in boot camp.

  5. The artist’s name is Felix and he uses pictures of puppies as his inspiration. His room is covered from wall to wall with pictures of different puppies and he is famous worldwide for his puppy paintings. His room’s walls are all a creamy white. Like most his room it’s all light and warm colors. His first painting of a puppy was done in a room very similar to the one he has now. Felix believes that puppies are pure happiness and they should be painted that way. That is why his room is very bright and is a nice environment to be in.
    The child’s name is Yacoub and he is Egyptian even though all his friends think he is Asian. His room is full of pictures of different sports teams and they cover all his doors and walls. When Yacoub grows up he wants to be doing something with sports. Every poster has to do with his favorite sports team. The room is also filled with all different kind of sports equipment and toys. However Yacoub’s favorite toy is a Stethoscope because he is not very good at sports but is very smart and wants to become an athletic trainer and make a lot of money.
    The military’s leader name is Jon. His room is painted a simple blue color because Jon is simple man but he has an extraordinary drive. He has a twin bed that has an old blanket on it with two normal sized pillows. He does not need fancy thing he believes in being tough and hard all the time. He lives the same way he leads his troop into battle. His room shows how simple and to the point he is and that is one of the reasons why he has become famous for taking on hard jobs and completing them.

  6. The man smiled and made his way towards Tristain. Tristain turned and started back towards his home, but the man put his hand on his shoulder.
    “You’re sure you want to see them?”
    “I don’t know, do I?”
    The man looked at the ground, then back at Tristain as he patted him on the shoulder.
    “We’ll find out.”
    Tristain turned and walked down the road with the man close behind him. Suddenly, the man stopped.
    “Misery.”
    Tristain turned, a bit alarmed and confused. “What are you talking about?”
    “The name’s Misery. Or Miz. We get names based on something about us, and I got Miz because of how they found me.”
    Tristain shivered a bit. “That’s, uh, depressing…well what’s mine?”
    Miz looked him up and down and thought for a few seconds before snapping his fingers.
    “You’re not Tristain anymore.” Miz gripped Tristain by the shoulders and smiled at him.
    “Welcome to the Shroud, Fortune.”

  7. My room is an expression of myself. As an artist, I see every bit of this room as art. In fact, each piece of furniture and decoration in my domain is of my own creation. When I initially moved into this quaint, yet not large enough apartment, I knew I had to tackle my bedroom first. I refuse to sleep in a space that lacks the creativity and energy that comes from within my mind. I started with the walls. On each wall I painted an intricate scene of each season, as if I were standing in the middle of central park, my favorite inspiration for art. Each wall displays a different area of the park at different times of year. I brought in my own hand-crafted bed that I’ve created to challenge the traditional idea of what a person should sleep in. Instead of your standard, four-legged wooden tray for a mattress, I’ve created a round, clear plastic shell, filled with different neon colored foam beads, with a soft sheet on top, to ensure I don’t sink into the beads. My desk, created to match the vibrant colors of my bed, sits proudly next to the window. This large and detailed object attracts the most attention in my bedroom. It stands tall, with many shelves holding not only novels and instructional books, but a box full of letters and tips I’ve received from old professors throughout my years. This desk is made of wood, stained with the brightest colors. Lastly, opposing that is my easel, paints and brushes, so I can look out of my window onto the busy city street. The city is my inspiration and this room is positioned perfectly for my masterpieces to flow from my hands onto the paper.

  8. An Artist
    The room I live in is full of my greatest works. Most of the works are very happy. I can just walk into the room and appreciate every single stroke in every one of my paintings. I can wake up every morning to see the beautiful work I have made. Each painting bringing back a different memory. I can remember why I drew each of these paintings and what was going through my mind when I drew them. It’s a nice cozy room that I will enjoy to be in every single day. And I can always put more and more art in it.
    A Child
    Oh this is such a big room. I can see my bed over there and my dress on the other side. Why do I have such a big room? Or maybe I’m just so small. Oh well, but why would I need such a big room. Oh maybe I could just make a fort in it. That would be a lot of fun. That’s probably why my parents gave me this room; I mean I love building forts. I could bring my friends over and have a sleep over in my fort. That would be a lot of fun right?
    A military leader
    It’s such a normal room. The bed is nice and warm and the window is right above it. My dresser is plain and white. I don’t have a care in the world when I’m here. I don’t have to worry about getting myself killed. I am done with the war and this is the perfect way to prove it. I can finally live a normal life as a citizen. My bed is warm so that I will have nice cozy nights instead of sleeping under a sheet in the cold dark night. I can actually enjoy the aspects of a normal life.

  9. Artist – The doorway was just a taste of what lying in the room behind it. It was decorated and customized with everything that made the young artist, her. It paint job was a miraculous assortment of colors that complimented the charms and emblems hanging on it. One could tell that it wasn’t supposed to be aesthetically pleasing, and more of an expression of her, but it was beautiful. The room was very much the same. There were canvases and work-in progresses everywhere. The walls were done by the artist as well as the ceiling that resembled a starlit sky in the countryside. The artist’s room was her soul painted and revealed throughout the walls.
    Child – The walls were painted a stereotypical baby blue and toys were scattered all over the floor. The toys were ones that one would usually find it a young boy’s room: action figures, terrible video games, and coloring books. This isn’t a stereotypical room though; it is one of a deceased boy and a forever grieving father who can’t bear to get rid of it. The bed was still unmade from the morning he got up and the carpet stained with dirt from the day before. Posters of his favorite characters lay on the walls, forever smiling at their deceased fan.

  10. military leader- A military officer’s room is very official and confident. The style makes it seem almost like the oval office. Mounted guns, pictures and awards cover the otherwise plain walls. On his desk lay just one picture though, one of his beloved daughter and wife that is his fueling motivation. His position was acquired by the support they give him and his desire to provide. That along with his advanced military laptop makes up his home workplace. The crowning jewel of his room, though, is his uniform that is incased in a glass container.
