Even before first staring in the 1964 film A Hard Day’s Night (HDN), The Beatles had already become acclaimed on a global scale and it was this initial film, made purely for soundtrack marketability, which proved instrumental in evolving The Beatles from teen idols into more complex figures worthy of acceptance into “the pantheon of family favourites.” (Neaverson; 1997:11-12) Emulating aspects of The French New Wave, this kitchen sink, mock-documentary film revolted against the classic dramatized jukebox film which previously standardized the British pop film. (Medhurst; 1995: 61) The two main factors in this film which helped reinvent the band’s image were Alun Owen’s script and Richard Lester’s control over the bands reflective working-class provincial image. (Neaverson; 1997: 21-22) The script, which was infused with colloquialisms and Liverpool slang, not only rejected the overly paternalistic moral code evident in previous pop culture films, but also helped develop the individual personalitie...

"mmm" regularly traveling is what I desired to do my entire life, except I've never been capable of.This is excellent to follow what people's. lives are and what places there are.I admire geography and how it influences their lives and our lives.Knowing places like Australia would make you fully understand why it is
The Beatles made a lasting mark on the music industry and continue to be celebrated for their talent today. Sgt. Pepper was one of their first attempts to mature as artists, the concept of a fictional band allowed them to do so. “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” is just one example of The Beatles’ experimentation.
...ering views reveal the multi-faceted nature of the city. Though written at two different times, these authors reveal that London cannot be viewed in one, simplistic way. Rather, the city boasts all types of people and classes. Blake would argue that the universality of suffering is a defining trait of London society, and this is exemplified in his nameless, faceless, timeless narrator. However, Addison would recognize London as an opportunity for economic (and personal) growth worldwide as evidenced in his obsession with foreign places and his first-person narrator in his essay. I would propose that both of these aspects of London need to be addressed in order to better appreciate the city as a whole. Cultural and political differences aside, both authors would advocate that London is a unique city, thus why there is a need to write on all aspects of city life.
I think the main theme in the book is duality - How London is split

One topic that came to mind while researching this paper was the Great Barrier Reef, which I had wanted to research for my presentation, but information was more abundant for the topic I did choose. The size of the reef and its tourist potential are great in their respective ways.
Desire for more novel, adventurous, and authentic forms of tourism experience, social content and the humanization of tourism activities.
Travel writers or adventurers all write pieces that deal with the same premise: the discovery and experience of the New World. However, in their writing, it is evident that there is an ulterior motive in mind. These motives or purposes can be classified in two broad categories: to persuade people to come to the new world and to warn people of the dangers they may encounter in the new world. It is easy to explore these themes by paying particular attention a couple of notorious writers: Christopher Columbus, Bartolome De Las Casas, and John Smith.
The Beatles are known, respectively, as the fathers of modern pop music. After their first #1 hit “Please Please Me” was released in 1963 the Beatles were set in motion to become one of the most influential groups of musicians to ever rock our world. With over forty-nine records, 37 #1’s, and thirty- four number one albums (the highest amount of any band in history), there is no denying that they made a monumental ripple in the musical world. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr surprisingly all come from humble beginnings in a town that, until their superstardom, was barely noticed on the map. Liverpool, being kn...
This decision changed the face of music forever. The Beatles made documentaries and videos because they weren’t touring and doing interviews anymore. They could explain the music that way, leaving more time to spend in the studio. It was necessary to stop touring for them to continue recording great music. If they hadn’t made that decision, they would have never reached their full creative potential. The Beatles still cared about their fans, so they started making films and created the visual album in Sgt. Pepper’s Band of Lonely Hearts. “The cover shows the Beatles as bandsmen surrounded by effigies of several dozen historical figures, living and dead, including Karl Marx, Marilyn Monroe, W.C. Fields, Oscar Wilde, Marlon Brando, Bob Dylan, Mohandas K. Ghandi, Shirley Temple, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Albert Einstein”, (Crawford 492). In this album the band was creating music by another, imaginary band, outside of

For us today, travel is a matter of hopping on to an express bus or an aeroplane, depending on the distances involved. London is only a few hours away and the moon is not unreachable. In the days of my parents’ youth, travel was a great event. Most people never moved more than fifty miles from their place of birth all their lives. So only a few adventurous people bother to travel at all. Even for these few, elaborate preparations were needed for the months of
