Writer's Journal #10

I am currently in the kitchen of my house so I will be analyzing this room. In this room is white cold tile flooring and all white cabinets. In the center of the room is an island with a sink and a dishwasher in the island. Around the island are more cabinets and 3 sides. There is the fridge and pantry on one side, the stove on the second, and a half wall counter on the third. There are three doors that lead to the kitchen one being the front hallway, the other the living room, and the third being the dining room. There is a little section that has a long window across the wall. By the window is the kitchen table where we have 4 chairs on each side of the table. All I can hear is the fridge running and some outdoor noises that sort of sound like thunder. Occasionally, one of my cats comes running by as well. I smell the trash because it’s a little full and I haven’t taken it out yet.

The purpose of the kitchen is to cook food and eat food inside. The kitchen has all the utilities like the stove, microwave, oven and fridge that store the food and cook the food. We have cabinets and drawers full of all the tools we need to cook any recipe. We have the kitchen table so that when we are done cooking food, we can all sit down together and enjoy the meal. The kitchen is where people also create memories with their family.

This is the place to cook anything I want to but, in the space, I do not have the ingredients needed to cook anything I want to. I can only cook what my space. The kitchen is supposed to be used for cooking and eating but I also do my homework in here because the windows are beautiful, and the quietness of the space is relaxing to me. I feel like I can focus better. Because of all the kitchen things in here, people won’t come in here to exercise or sleep. There is no bed and not enough space to exercise. There are also more fragile things in the kitchen that we have to be careful around.

Because of all the doors, people can come in or leave wherever they please. Because this is my house, not just anyone can come in either. It is not a public place. Only my close relatives that live in this house can come inside the kitchen. Unfortunately the doors are not big enough for a wheelchair though so handicap people may not be able to come in even if invited.
