Cobblestone

has historically represented a tropical culture filled with vibrancy, music, and nightlife. According to The Encyclopedia Britannica, The culture of Havana, would eventually became known as “a cosmopolitan center with sprawling fortifications, cobblestone plazas, and buildings of ornamental facades and ornate iron balconies” (“Havana: National”).

tonight. It 's almost pitch dark outside, but I choose to walk instead of taking a cab to my destination: Grandma 's house. It 's only a couple of miles and I know I can manage the weather for the time being. I stride along the perfectly paved cobblestone path that snow shovels have conveniently made for me.

Boutiques and little clubs have taken over and made the neighborhood, one of the most popular tourist attractions. The old rustic houses are similar to a giant museum with the…

It all started with Ben & Jerry’s that fateful night in June. AnneMarie strutted over while the gang was busy solving mysteries and playing cards on the grass outside the dorm building. Beaming eyes portrayed to the gang a tale of risk. Or perhaps just a tale of delight when the goodies lounging in the white plastic bag she held were revealed, though this all went unnoticed by me. The game at hand had me enraptured until one ear became deaf from a shriek of glee. Glancing up and trying to…

Everybody cautions you Old Havana is a veneer, yet its incomprehensible not to be taken by its charms. In my lodging room, the delicate sound of guitars enters from the overhang. In the cobblestone road beneath, I watch youngsters play football, or soccer as we call it here in America. The range is greener than I envisioned, with trees growing sideways from elongated squares. Ladies stand protect in outlandishly contract entryways. Men play handball in the emptied out yard of one of the city's…

When getting to the entrance, Ethan is surrounded by a London, England atmosphere. The British flag flies high over the buildings. Ethan doesn’t realize he is about to enter a new world when he walks through the giant, jagged hole in cobblestone wall. There are shops everywhere! To the left, to the right, the shops enclose him in them and stand so tall that it’s hard for him to see the clouds. Everyone, including Ethan, stands in a mile long line waiting for a cup of cold, foamy butter…

Lit Review The most useful article I came across was an aggregate level look at 83 studies where voter turnout was the dependent variable. It seems the most useful as it creates a solid base to start looking at many of the variables that cause dips and changes in voter turnout. The study conducted by Benny Geys, looks at so many studies and breaks down the different independent variables that can effect voter turnout.(2006) This study does well at defining voter turnout and ensuring that the…
