Seeing pg. 145, #'s 1 & 2

1.    In House by the railroad, the first thing I recognized is the architecture of the house. The design of the window frames and the upper levels of the house caught my eye the most. From today's standpoint, you can tell this house was constructed many years ago. From the paintings view, the railroad's location by the house is awkward. This makes you think of the origin of the railroad's creation. The people who created the railroad showed apathy by building it next to someone's home.

2.    In the poem, Hopper focuses on how the house is victimized. He shows personification of the house by claiming it has an expression. The overall tone of the poem is gloomy. The reason why I say this is because when I read it my mood was changed. The poem leaves readers with despair of the house's condition. The way it was written made the poem's whole vibe feel like that.
