When one first walks into the doors of The Forest Lake Club they are presented with a welcoming, elegant, and calming atmosphere. This is complemented by a lot of windows and light colors making their rooms feel open. The windows outlook a spectacular view, allowing their members to feel as if they were outside. Similar, they pay attention to the minute details throughout their club. For example, they take the time to print their logo onto their napkins. However, is it very competitive to…

FAMOUS DISTRICTS London is a sprawling city which has grown over the centuries from just about a mile long square to more than 600 sq miles of urban land today. The most characteristic feature of London is the river Thames that runs right at the middle of it, and is spanned by many bridges, including the most famous one called the Tower Bridge.

While reading Poe and Sedaris I used two different approaches to understanding fiction. The first approach was to give the work/story a fair chance, because judging a story by its genre or title is usually my first approach, which usually leads me away from a good meaningful story. Giving the story a fair chance forced me to open my mind and thoughts on the situation that was occurring in the story. I was able to put myself into the story.

Imperialism and white supremacy ensured that British national identity was sure to be challenged when people British nationals had been taught were inferior came into their…

“Rock the Casbah” came out in June 11, 1982 by the English punk rock band The Clash. “Rock the Casbah” is the third single on The Clash's fifth album Combat Rock and reached number 8 on the Billboard hot 100 in the U.S. It also reached number 8 on the dance chart. I think that the lyrics, by Joe Strummer, were inspired by a news report of Iranians being flogged for the crime of owning a disco album and create an amusing fantasy where a disco-hating sharif is defied by everyone from the citizens…
