Both Japan and Cambodia are countries which belong to Asia, the largest continent on Earth. On the other hand, based on the term “geographical realm”, they are in different realms. One is in East Asia, and the other is in Southeast Asia. They also have the distinction in many aspects such as physical pattern, history, population features, economic and political issues, and socio-cultural issues.

There are many locations in the world that could serve as a nice place for me to live in the future, but for the sake of the project, I chose right here in Glendale, AZ. Other places I considered were some places in California, since I love the beach, or somewhere really exotic, like Rome or Venice in Italy. But, I do love my home and the Arizonan environment, so for right now, I’ll be thinking of Glendale. But why here? Wouldn’t you think that by the time I’m out of college I’d be sick of this…

It is minutes later now and we are trudging down an overgrown trail, tactfully descending the deep slopes of New Mexican land. Everything smells strongly of mud and salt and soaked manure from the horse barn down the road. I almost trip over a weed, but my father steadies me and says, “Almost there, baby.” The arroyo is different than I have ever seen it. It is scattered with long, silver puddles.

In the early 1900s, other scientists believed that the Earth was experiencing global cooling trends until Stephen…

As its title suggests, place and space figure heavily in Jhumpa Lahiri’s latest novel, “The Lowland.” The reader finds herself journeying from the craggy shores of Rhode Island, to the bustling streets of Post-independence India, and finally in the hyacinth filled pools of the titular lowland area of Tollygunge, Calcutta. It is here that the mystery and tragedy of Lahiri’s novel takes place, a compassionate tale of family, betrayal, and political ideology set against the backdrop of the Naxalite…

Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan highlights the futility of blaming each other for the unfortunate event. Also, the novel is one of the first and most effective works on partition. While writing the novel, the writer has quite objectively treated the event, without blaming a community or religious minority for it. He has tried to stay away from the blame. “Muslims said the Hindus had planned and started the killing. According to the Hindus, the Muslims were to blame”. According to him, “The…

Each state and union territory has one or more official languages, and the constitution…
