One day two friends mike and lily decided they wanted to travel somewhere, they thought, and thought, and thought then finally they decided to pick Peru. A few days later they arrived in Lima, but it was really late so they went to a local restaurant called surf and turf cena. Lily got lomo satedo which is sauted beef, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes. This is one of the most popular dishes in lima. Mike got arroz tapado which is a rice dish with lots of beef, and lots of different veggies in the middle. On the second night they saw MOLD growing in their hotel! This is caused because the air is 80% wáter which causes it to be a moist climate where mold will grow fast. So they switched hotels. On the third day they went downtown to look at the Street shops it was crazy hot! They saw alot of homeless people that were in serious condition. The homeless people do not have enough money to get proper care so they get ill from the sun very often. On the fourth day they nedded to buy cooler clothes so they bought shorts, tee-shirts, and flip-flops, just like the locals wear. They bought flip-flops insted of runners because if they bought runners there feet would sweat! On the fifth day they were running low on organic foods so they took a day trip to a farm were they bought beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. They also bought vegtables like lima beans, tomatoes, and carrots. On the sixth day they went to the archaeology, anthology, and history museum. This musem was founded in 1862. This museum has some of the first ceramics, tiles, metals, and organic materials. Most of the ceramics cost 10,000 dollers each! On the seventh day they left to Altiplano which is a town on the plains of peru. On the eighth day the wanted to try some ethni...

...hu it is the most moist other than in Iquitos. It rains the most in july and least in febuary I thought it would be the other way around! The last thing paul taught us before we took a car to Iquitos was that they would cut stairs in the mountain so they could farm on flat land not a steep mountain. The mountain is Split into three parts bottom, middle, and top. On the bottom they grow peppers, onioms, tomatoes. On the middle they grow potatoes and on the top they grow livestock. As they took off on a 11 day car ride to Iquitos where there final stop is, *they went to sleep*. Finally they got to Iqiutos where they went to a little museum where it talked about how Iquitos área was not found until 1638. Four popular languages now a days came to Iquitos in 1673 Spanish, Quechua, Portugeesse, and Dutch. Then they went to get dinner where Lily, and Mike both got inchicapi
Enrique’s Journey is a book that I would never read for fun. It is completely different from most of the books I have read, and intrigued me because the story was about a boy. Most of the books I have read in school are about a girl who goes through many hardships, and difficulties but I felt I could relate more to this one because it is about a boy who struggles. While I may not have been left thousands of miles away by mother so she could send money back, it was great to see what life was like on the other side. In this paper I will be talking about the micro and macro cultures of Enrique’s town Tegucigalpa. The situation and context of the characters decision making and how they adapted.
There are lots of fresh dihydrogen monoxide lakes and rivers as well as coal, oil and mineral mines this location is withal able to grow potatoes and grapes it’s additionally mundane to find good fishing locations.

Picture Manhattan in 1860, a time before the city had been dolled up and gotten ready for the silver screen, before the glamour and allure took over. Amsterdam Vallan (DiCaprio) is a young Irish man that migrates to the USA at a young age. Amsterdam’s story takes place in Five Points District of New York, a filthy and dangerous part of the city before it was deleted form history. As a young boy Vallan witnessed his father’s murder at the hand of William Cutting or Bill the Butcher (Day-Lewis) during one of their many gang wars. As Amsterdam’s story progresses along side The Butcher they become inseparable, but Amsterdam had ulterior motive. Ultimately, Amsterdam attempts to betray his new found ally in order to avenge his father’s death. Historical accounts of events are almost always synthesized by the storyteller; in the case Gangs of New York Martin Scorsese tells of Five Points, The Dead Rabbits Riots, and The Draft Riots, but is his fictional story accurate through history?
It was a cool, crisp November evening, while five teenagers were hustling and bustling around my house excitedly getting ready for their very first showing of the live version of their all time favorite movie. They knew it would be the best night of their lives. The night of my 15th birthday party, my friends and I all piled into my parents car around 11:00 PM and headed off down the road to the Heights Theater. The movie we are about to see is an all time classic. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the best cult film of all time. The movie has all the three basic elements it should have. It has funny audience participation, wonderful acting, and a great story line.
A putrid odor permeates through the crowded village as scrawny children shriek in tears of hunger. Rats scamper along the filthy, dirt road covered in bloody corpses. Ferocious barbarians continually invade villages causing calamity and chaos among the townspeople. Subsequently, the economy is in a state of immense turmoil as trade declines and trade routes diminish. Innovation and prosperity are at a standstill because the population can barely survive.
The words goth and emo while extremely similar are very different. The word goth is short for the full word of gothic and today means somebody who dresses in dark colors mostly black. The word emo is short for emotional and most commonly used to refer to teenagers that will dress in dark colors and is usually associated with depression for that group. The differences usually appear in the age groups, clothing style, and history in various media
My analysis is on the film The Goonies. While I view the movie and determine the various norms, behaviors, roles and interaction between group members, as well as individuals the examination within the realm of film can present many of the same components. Thus, our group selected this movie to analyze based on its formation of a cohesive problem-solving group full of unforgettable characters. The Goonies portray many different theories and aspects of small group communication.
The story made clear how the Kiowas appreciate and respect the nature around them. Momaday gives a deep explanation of what it was like to be in Rainy Mountain when he describes the changes in weather: “Winter brings blizzards, hot tornadic winds arise in the spring, and in summer the prairie is an anvil’s edge. The grass turns brittle and brown, and it cracks beneath your feet”(Momaday 5). The way the
Theoretical perspectives on families come in many forms. These perspectives help to provide a basis of understanding of the dynamic relationships found within families. Lamanna, Riedmann, and Stewart (2015) define the Interactionalist perspective as the communication and face to face encounters between to individuals and their ability to be aware of one another. This family view best applies to the father-daughter relationship between Gus and Toula Portokalos from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Gus, the dominant rule setting father, has made it his goal to embrace their Greek Heritage to its fullest extent all while maintaining certain roles for each member of his immediate family. While Gus strives to protect the family’s roles and community
A style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity which exceeds the boundaries of normal physical comedy. Aggressive Humor inspired by early comedy theories from people like Plato (360 B.C.) to more increased hostile joke theories like Bryant (1977) and Zillman, Bryant and Cantos (1974). Slapstick emphasizes on the idea that most (if not all) of comedy is based on some form of misery whether physical or emotional. The idea that pain is just a part of life makes it instantly relatable towards the average audience member.
The day is Tuesday, April 20, 1999. All the students of Columbine High are at school expecting yet another boring day, eager to just get through the last few days left in the school year. At 11:00 in the morning, students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold placed two duffel bags in the cafeteria and went back outside. Then at 11:19 the two students started to open fire on students outside of the school. It was later found out that the duffel bags they dropped off were filled with explosives that failed to go off at the planned time of 11:17. They then proceeded with their rampage inside the school. By 11:35 they had killed 12 students, one teacher, and injured more than 20 others. After 12 p.m. their list of killed students increased by two when
One day when Holly and the narrator go for a walk through Fifth Avenue on a beautiful Autumn day Holly seems interested in the narrator's childhood without really telling him about her own, even though talking about herself is something she does quite often. "...it was elusive, nameless, placeless, an impressionistic recital, though the impression received was contrary to what one expected, for she gave an almost voluptuous account of swimming in summer, Christmas trees, pretty cousins and parties: in short, happy in a way she was not, and never, certainly, the background of a child who had run away" (54). Holly's character has such a dramatic flair that the reader nor the narrator never really know what to expect from her. On some occasions she will openly talk about outrageous taboos with perfect strangers and on others she will claw like a cat anyone who gets too close to her: "I asked her how and why she left home so young. She looked at me blankly, and rubbed her nose, as though it tickled: a gesture, seeing often repeated, I came to recognize as a signal that one was trespassing" (20). Holly is not only a physical paradox of a girl and a woman, but so is her personality, she has an odd mixture of child-like innocence and street smart sexuality.
Are you ever sitting at home, on 9 o’clock p.m. on a Sunday, with nothing to do? Just bored out of your mind.. Willing to do anything.. Maybe even.. Watch.

Arriving in Lima, we were greeted by swarms of taxi drivers asking if we needed rides; “No Gracias, Señor,” was a phrase that became my go-to response. I laid eyes on my cousin and uncle, and instantly let out a sigh of relief, but was met with a punch in the face of the suffocating humidity of Lima. It was close to two in the morning, and in a short thirty hours, I would be on a plane ride going to Cusco. When we were on our way to my grandma’s house, where we would be spending the night, but cousin carefully approached the subject of Machu Picchu. He told my mom and I that the rain was heavy over there, and they may have to close the park for the week due to potential floods. My heart stopped and I was about to break down. My mom instantly saw the look on my face and said, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling the rain will slow
