life in Sydney compared to how she spends her life in Porpoise Spit. She doesn’t listen to Abba song anymore after she moves to Sydney. She enjoyably immerses herself in job, friendship, sexual relationship and her primary goal of getting married. ‘My life's as good as an ABBA song. It's as good as 'Dancing Queen'. Her life in Sydney is completely different from that in Porpoise Spit where she listens to Abba song 24-hours per day just to waste her time and stay away from the mentally abuse…

older to register at immigration offices within a certain period of time. Those who qualified for this were divided into 4 different call in groups.

During the time my parents were in college and dating, they went to Air Supply, Bee Gees and ABBA concerts together. I remember that the first music I ever heard was my mother’s collection of vinyl records and cd’s. I grew up listening to Robert Plant, Axl Rose and Freddie Mercury’s God-like vocals, Led Zeppelin’s head-scratching lyrics,…

“That thou remember them, some claim as debt; I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget” (13-14). By just looking at the last two lines of this sonnet, the theme of the whole poem could be inferred. While John Donne grew up being a Catholic, he later became a Protestant.
