Account Of A Holiday
Letztes Jahr bin ich allein nach Deutschland geflogen. Ich mag das
deutscheskultur weil ich, daβ die Gemeinschaft in Deutschland immer
eng und vereinigt ist, glaube. Ich finde, daβ im allgemeinen die
deutschen Leute freundlicher als englischen Leute sind. (I was really
looking forward to the trip as I was born there and so I wanted to
visit the place where I grew up)
Von Heathrow Flughafen bin ich zur Frankfurt Flughafen geflogen. Die
Reise war zwei Stunden lang und wann ich bin abgesetzen, meinen Freund
von mir hat mir mit ihre Familie gegrüβt. Von Frankfurt sind wir mit
Auto zu eine kleine Stadt in Hessen heiβt Marburg gegangen. Marburg
ist eine Universitätstadt und deshalb es viele StudentInnen erregt. Es
ist liegen in einen Tal und es besitzt eine sensationell Landschaft.
Einerseits ist die Stadt altmödisch mit der mittelalterlichen Kirche
und Museums, aber andereseits ist es ziemlich modern, weil es einen
Kino, viele verschiedene Geschäfte einschlieβlich Kaufhäuser und
Geschenkläden und einen Universitätsmuseum für modern Bildende Kunst
gibt. Das Wetter während meine Urlaub war äuβerster kalt und das
Temperatur war immer unter 0 Grad. Die Sonne scheint für nur einige
Stunden obwohl Schnee hat gefällt und ich was Schneeballkampfen tun
können.
Mein Freund von mir heiβt Nora und sie wohnt mit ihre Familie in eine
geräumige Wohnung in der Stadtmitte Marburgs. Für diese Urlaub habe
ich mit Nora übergenachtet. Wann ich mit Nora und ihre Familie
bleiben, ich habe die Gelegenheit das interessanten Deutschesessen
versuchen. Normalerweise esse ich nur ein Sandwich zu meinem
Mittagessen aber ich habe leckeres Essen gegessen einschlieβlich
Bratwurst mit Curry-Ketchup, einen Super Berliner, und Schnitzel mit
Pommes. Ich mag Kartoffelsalat am besten und ich erinnere sich
Kartoffelsalat jeden Tag während meine Urlaub essen an.
Auf ein Tag, bin ich nach Düsseldorf mit S-Bahn für
Weihnachteneinkaufen gefahren. Ich habe viele Geschenke für meine
Familie und Freunden. Ich hatte bereits eine frühe
Weihnachten-Geschenk, eine Sony MiniDisc Player, und aus diesem Grund
habe ich gedenkt, daβ ich viele Geschenke für meinen Eltern geben muβ.
When the topic comes to presidential assassins, most people will not use the word amusing and assassins in the same sentence; however; Dan Danbom, a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, proved otherwise and stated that Vowell has succeeded in creating a “humorous” historical context by writing “I can confidently say that Sarah Vowel’s Assassination Vacation is the most amusing book you’ll read this year about presidential assassinations” (Danbom). Sarah Vowel’s purpose of Assassination Vacation is to allow readers to have a look at both sides of history to shed light on the assassins, to reanimate moments lost to history, and to make her book more interesting by using her unique style of writing; although she fails miserably by adding in too much humor and too many personal opinions, she was successful by examining the motive of the assassins, giving analysis to allow readers to look at past and present events, and by using her interesting style of writing to engage readers to continue reading the story.

Bernie and Gerry’s most celebrated holiday is Thanksgiving and Christmas. In Canada, Thanksgiving was officially celebrated on Nov. 6. Later, the holiday was celebrated on the third Monday in October. On Jan. 31, 1957, parliament solved the confusion by proclaiming that Thanksgiving be celebrated on the second Monday in October. The earlier date draws from the fact that Canada is located further north than the United States, causing harvest season to take place earlier. French Canadians usually start celebrating the night of the 24th. Kids take a nap after dinner until 8 or 9 pm. The whole family (uncle, aunts, cousins, grandparents...) then get together, eat finger foods, drink wine, some go to Church, play games, listen to Christmas
...ime soon. The experience was worth every penny, and I will not hesitate to grab any chance I get to go back. I know that the watershed can turn out to be a major tourist attraction, especially since it favours activities such as sport fishing, rafting, canoeing, and kayaking. I am definitely going back to that place with some of my friends, and this time I will try out each and every water sport available, especially the ones I did not try out last time.
American culture is made up of a number of different influences one of them being holidays. On of those esteemed holidays is Thanksgiving, which was made a national holiday in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln (History.com Staff). It was made a holiday at the time in order to bring the nation together during a time of pain and suffering. In this day and age, it is meant for families to come together and give thanks for what they have over a large meal, which is surrounded by football games, family recipes, and shopping. Thanksgiving, a ritual Americans have done for generations is a classic example of American civil religion. Because it brings together what it means to be an American, but at the same time ignores the history of some American
In “Another Holiday for the Prince” by Elizabeth Jolley the author draws upon many themes, one in particular that Jolley illustrates is how poverty influences changes in the individual lives within one family. To begin with the head of the family; a father is never mentioned in the story, not even once. But by not having a father figure in the story the reader can understand a lot. In society the man is the one who earns the money and provides all the essentials for his family, however this story is presented in a society were the mother has to be the man of the family. Ones self-esteem can be diminished as a result of poverty, alienation; destructive effects of a week personality or society on the individual. The author effectively conveys this theme through the use of characterization, symbolism and contrast.
Shining lights, tasty treats, family coming in and pinching children's cheeks, the joy of gifts and the thrill of giving -- all these things are what can be expected during the holiday seasons. Grandma is cooking in the kitchen as you are sitting on the floor and staring inquisitively at the mesmerizing tree. Only one thing, though, is truly on your young mind, the multicolored themed wrapped up boxes beneath its dark pine branches. You think back to the other holidays where you received prizes and were allowed freedom. Like that one Halloween the first time you went as a makeshift sheet ghost. Appreciating the cool autumn air as it lead you into the night then greeting every welcoming person with a candy bowl with "trick or treat"! Possibly even reliving that one fateful February day where your first crush snuck you a chocolate kiss and a bright red card entailing the cliché poem involving violets and roses. You never question the origin of these days and yet you still reveled in the fun. Holidays show the truth behind what humans may think as sacred, traditional and what is important to their natural culture and life styles. Holidays also give people the opportunity to "blow off steam" and have something to look forward to in the simplistic patterns of living in a routine daily life. Holidays are shown as major rites and customary influences of ritualistic comfort throughout having annual celebrations. However, beneath the veneer of fun and celebrations these holidays , Valentines Day, Halloween, and Christmas, lies a sinister history that needs explored.
I was presented with this trip because of my work with the youth violence prevention initiative over the summer. This trip allowed me to hear from students all over the United States. While attending I had the privilege to network and join a new organization. The trip was a week long, it basically was a learning experience for me. I was able to see that my community wasn’t the only one to face problems with education or
Roman Holiday is a famous and important film for many reasons, probably most for introducing the world to the incomparable Audrey, here in her first major starring role, and one which won her an Academy Award. With lots chemistry, inspired direction by William Wyler, and impressive locale work, shot completely on location in Rome, this ranks as one of the best romantic comedies ever made.
Holidays are a celebration and an enjoyment of festivities. Although they are a commonality across the world, holidays differ between countries and cultures. But, what many do not realize is that holidays are ultimately ideology driven, that is that the group that celebrates these holidays follows a certain set of ideas and beliefs. Whether the ideology is religion based, or politically based, all holidays are centered around ideologies.

As I look out my window I see tiny snowflakes slowly drifting down. I can hear the roar of laughter coming from the living room downstairs. Soon enough Saint Nick will be upon us. Christmas always brings everyone home for the holidays. Christmas is my favorite holiday because of the traditions my families and I celebrate that include our Christmas Eve routine, Christmas morning routine, and giving back to our community.
