In the unorganized, cluttered mess, you can tell that there is a man and a woman sharing this space. With the variety of men and women's beauty products and jewelry scattered among the surface, these people are apparently well kept and smell pretty good. Obviously they own an aquarium, and keep that pretty well kept, too. They must never finish anything they start, since there's a half-done puzzle just sitting there with things piled on it and a job application that they can't even bother to turn in. They may be a little weird, seeing all those silly figurines displayed for everyone to see. But maybe sentimental, seeing the glass figurine that may have belonged to one of their grandmothers, and dried roses in a vase. They have a unique taste; who actually likes Mango-flavored Pepsi? Someone would be better off leaving this mess alone; maybe someday they can straighten out their clutter.

  1. Side note: I'm in the process of moving, and my entire life is sitting on my dresser right now! I'm not usually so disorganized. :)

  2. Lucky for you you're moving since you got and took the chance to do a highly detailed inventory and a nicely explanatory graf pulling all the details together into a coherent piece. Details and specifics are the point of the assignment and you nail it.
