The board is white.
The board is large.
A "mini Poe" hangs from a string on the board.
There is a silver tray on the bottom of the board.
Snowflakes hang from the top of the board.

The board is large and white.
The "mini Poe" hanging from a string on the board is black.
The lights in the room glare on the board.
The silver tray on the bottom of the board has things on it.
The snowflakes hanging on the top of the board are made of paper.
There is a silver metal boarder around all four edges of the board.

The board is white, but smudges stain it due to the erasing of the marks on it. The large board reflects the light shining from the ceiling above. The figurine of Poe hangs from the right-hand corner from a white ribbon. He is clad in a black suit and on his hand rests a black Raven. There are two markers, red and green in color, resting on silver tray at the base of the board. Three black erasers disperse themselves amongst the markers on the tray. The identical snowflake pattern hanging from the top of the board contains minute details. The creator was meticulous and careful as he cut each excerpt from the paper folded before him. Within the snowflake, there appears to be deer and the top and snowflakes themselves on the bottom. A strip of bulletin board material streches across the entire length of the top of the board, with about a width of half an inch, accompanies the silver border of the board. Above the board hangs words of wisdom. One paper warns of the "Big Six" errors and the other provides a slogan, "Ad majorem Dei gloram," by which to live. The signs remain in place due to the five variously colored tacks that adhere them to the wall. The "Big Six" errors are printed in black ink on purple paper. The slogan however spreads across a series of white paper in much larger black print.

The large, white board, while covered in smudges, serves to prove the vast amount of knowledge that it has displayed over its years of existance. The depth of intellect and understanding contained by the board is immeasurable. Daily, massive quantities of information appear on its surface, only to be erased at a later date in order to allow room for more. Each time the erasers "cleans" the board, it simply causes the words to be absorbed into the glossy white surface and retained in the enormous memory bank of the board. The lights from the ceiling attempt to draw attention to the board's extensive knowledge. It provides a spotlight proving that an almightly power wants there to be emphasis on the board. Mr. Poe serves as an intelligent figure who looks over all of the students in the room with a watchful eye, infusing them with knowledge. The snowflakes demonstrate each students wish for the snow this coming winter season. While the purper paper displays great writing rules, the white slogan serves as a guideline for life. It is a great idea to live while carrying out ones life.
