    The cruise ship is depicted as a utopian beehive of endless comfort, entertainment, food—set adrift on the vast seas, away from the terrestrial world of responsibility. I have never been on a cruise, have never had the desire to do so, and, after reading Foster’s take on things, probably never will (over four years on an accident-prone submarine was enough sea time for a lifetime) . Wallace describes the Celebrity Cruises’ Nadir as a “floating wedding cake” (34) and goes into minute detail to describe the crew’s attention to service and cleanliness. Sometimes he seems to overdo it, like with his obsession with Petra’s “mysterious invisible room cleaning” services (46), but, in his overdoing it, you do get a good sense of the ship’s determination to please, along with a little insight into…

    These stories address the physical and metaphorical confinement of the characters reiterating how the pursuit of the American dream by a minority in America is different from the white American dream. Désirée, the epitome of what the American dream can manifest, seeks her dream within her collective family, but is confined by the racial discrimination instigated by her husband, Armand, and her adoptive mother, Madame Valmondé. She is further condemned by Armand for the dark complexion of her son. After Madame Valmondé has not seen Desiree and the baby for four weeks, her reaction to the baby: “This is not the baby!” suggests her disgust with the baby’s appearance. Désirée, who is overcome by innocence, is unable to see that Madame Valmondé…

    As a heavily-laden ship made its way up the channel of the Delaware River around 1770, it foundered and broke apart on a mud shoal, dumping its cargo of peas into the water. When the peas sprouted, an island eventually emerged. Ergo, the legend of how Pea Patch Island came into existence between Delaware City, Del., and Salem County, N.J. Habitation on the island remained relegated to migratory birds until the early 19th century. As it grew in size, government officials recognized the potential for inclusion of Pea Patch in a military defense system for the Atlantic coastal area. The construction of a wooden fort resulted; designed to protect the upriver cities of New Castle and Philadelphia from attack.…

North West Florida in particular was home to many of the states oddly unique tourist attractions which garnered local fame with tourist and visitors trying to get a glimpse of the Floridian culture.

    Imagine a man so smart that he is able to clearly observe and analyze major enlightenments and downfalls of a new nation. Now, imagine a man so shy that he rarely talks to women. These two men are one in the same: Alexis De Tocqueville. Tocqueville was a well-respected writer, philosopher and overall scholar of the 19th century, but he never could quite figure out one very important piece of the democratic puzzle: women. He spoke highly of the American woman; however, he took diminutive time truly getting to know her or gather her insight.…

    At the beginning of the book it starts off with our main protagonist Hu in an asylum and you automatically get a first impression that he is “mad”. Hu wasn’t a mad person, but a person who misjudged and the relationship dynamic he had with Foucquet is what drove him to seem “mad” and there was no major change in Hu’s behavior throughout the journey in 1722. The relationship dynamic was questionable between Hu and the missionary Foucquet at first it was meant to be a business relationship.

    Many know that difficulties are probable to arise when moving to a completely different town, state, or even country. However, most who have not experienced such a situation do not understand exactly how difficult and stressful such a situation can be. For example, being of a different race can mean getting treated differently when moving to a different place or sometimes even being of a different gender can get you to be treated differently. In Christina Henriquez’s book The Book of Unknown Americans, Alma, the main character describes many of the burdensome situations that she and her family have to face when moving to the United States after having to leave Panama. The book also includes various chapters about individuals from other countries…

    While at first glance, David Foster Wallace’s “Shipping Out” describes the miserable tale of the author on a cruise ship for a week, however, it is actually a commentary on the underlying insidious nature of cruise ships and vacation services. During this period, the author is treated to a multitude of luxuries, including thorough cleaning services, high-class dining, and constant recreational activities provided by the cruise. However, the author grows increasingly unsettled as he realizes the extent the ship’s crew is willing to do in order to gain the validation and the satisfaction of their customers. Jennifer Volland’s essay “Stay: The Archetypical Space of the Hotel” is another work which describes the nature of similar vacation spots,…

    Characters in a story are a way for the author to reach out to their audience and make an impact on the plot, but that is not the case for Gavroche in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. In the book, as well as in the musical movie, many people fought and died for the revolution. Although Gavroche, the gamin, was one of those rebels, his character did not greatly impact the story or the revolution. Gavroche was an unnecessary character because he was insignificant to the plot in both the book and the movie through his death, his involvement in the story, and the lack of family ties introduced in the movie. There were many men who lost the battle of the barricade by selflessly giving their lives to the cause and impacting the story; Gavroche was…

    Dark tourism, also known as grief tourism, is not a popular form of tourism in most countries but has occurred ever since people have the ability to travel. Within the last ten years, dark tourism has become increasingly popular with tourists, with websites like www.thecabinet.com naming the various dark attractions around the world (Dark Destinations, 2007). The term ‘dark tourism’ was coined by Malcolm Foley and J. John Lennon to describe “…the phenomenon which encompasses the presentation and consumption (by visitors) of real and commodified death and disaster sites” (1996). Boorstin (1964) asserted that the first guided tour in England in 1838 was to witness the hanging of two murderers. In 2002, Ground Zero drew the attention of more than three million visitors, which exceeded the number of participants who visited the observation platform of the World Trade Center prior to 9/11 (Blair, 2002).…
