Construct of my Essays- Manual Labor of the Mind



A cement truck of thoughts turns and turns its load of ideas, thoughts and concepts.
The truck has to keep its cylinder of thoughts, ideas and concepts turning, else they become
prematurely harden and not usable for the current construction project.
As the cement truck works, the Contractor begins reviewing the architecture plans. He
specifically focuses on the foundation. He can’t begin building until the foundation is laid
and more importantly, the foundation must be strong. The strength of the foundation will
subsequently reflect in the strength of the structure itself. The Contractor is ready to
pour the foundation. “Beep” “Beep” “ Beep” the truck is backing up. A large hose
is connected to the back of the cement truck and out pours the tumbling ideas, thoughts
and concepts. The foundation worker pours the idea mix into the framed foundation,
where there the ideas are organized into one solid foundation. Once the foundation is laid
and set, the bricklayer will begin his work. Under the instruction of the Contractor and
architecture plans, the bricklayer begins the work of erecting a wall of words. The task of
stacking words has begun. This can be a slow and painstaking task. The bricklayer has to
specifically choose each brick for a specific place. It is important that each brick is
chosen wisely and that careful consideration is taken in the organization of bricks; it is
only then that each layer of bricks will communicate the idea and thoughts of the
Contractor and architecture plans. Word by word, the wall grows taller and taller.
Once the wall is complete, the Contractor goes over the project. He makes calls of
corrections where needed and orders the clean up of the work site so that it is ready for
the Inspector. Once the Contractor is satisfied, he submits the project to the Inspector, who
then analyzes the foundation for strength, the sturdiness of the wall and the over all
quality of the project.
