thing as a male equivalent but be interpreted in a negative way. Many times I am told I come off as too intense and aggressive; which would not apply if I was not a young woman. I also got to experience extreme gender boundaries when I traveled to Casablanca, Morocco. Unlike most women there, I have light colored hair that was not covered by any type of scarf. The locals there would stare and whisper to one another as I walked down the streets arm and arm with my friend. I was told that when…

An example is when Santiago remembers is his arm-wrestling match at Casablanca. He arm-wrestled the strongest man on the docks. The game lasted a whole 24 hours, but Santiago came out on top and was called El Campeon. This event helped contribute to Santiago’s becoming a man. In order to become a man have determination and…

Six year olds. Teenagers. Adults. Seniors. All of these age groups would come watch Kiss perform. After the show everyone would tell Kiss how much fun they had. Kiss went through all of these troubles and still ended up becoming one of the biggest bands ever.

The Allies promised Russian leaders they would attack the Axis powers consisting of Germany, Italy, and Japan and provide relief to the Russians. This led to Operation Torch. Operation Torch was a plan…

The Maltese Falcon is the first movie directed by John Huston who in his illustrious career was nominated for 15 Oscars. The beauty of the film is that there is not a single waste line nor a single waste shot nor a single waste performance. Everything is so perfect & each character is very well developed.

With a bouncy rhythm section borrowed from Tom Petty’s American Girl, the track helped its parent album Is This It to become one of the most celebrated rock débuts of all time. 63. Estelle…
