'As I approached the first bridge over the road I became convinced that the car was too big to pass through it' Jon Snow He added on his blog: ‘By the time we reached my flat above the drug dependents’ day centre where I worked, I was all over the place. We had deliberated on the journey and concluded that we were on a trip in which our tyres did not connect with any road surface.’ Drugs Live, which continues tonight, aims to show what happens when 25 volunteers are given the drug ecstasy in hospital conditions.

A Trip to Remember Gurney Normans’ Novel, “Divine Right’s Trip” is a complex story about a young man, David Davenport, also known as Divine Right and his travels and thoughts while he wandered from the Golden Coast of California to his homeland in the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky. He starts the journey with his car, a beat up VW Bus named Urge, and his friend Estelle. This trip he takes is not only about his travel, but also his constant drug use and the idea’s that he receives while under the influence as well as his trip among himself, transforming from a young adult in his young twenties, to a full grown man. Norman uses great narration as well as simple story telling to give the reader an insight into D.R’s thoughts, feelings and ideas while maintaining the true purpose of the novel which is to exemplify how D.R comes of age along this trip and comes to embrace his ideas as truth rather than to question them. Normans’ idea of trying to take the reader on a trip themselves while reading the book was accomplished with amazing grace and grandeur.
Even if every day less and less stars are seen in the sky no one cares to wonder why. Simply is because all the urban city lights that we have in our cities are decreasing the ability to see the night sky and we can blame it on our urban light

Throughout the whole film, almost every location the mob occupied or visited was always dully lit to dismiss any beauty of the location. This was used to ‘deglamorize’ the mobster life and give it a very dirty look and feel to parallel the story the film was based off of. The film opens with a Pontiac car, a very American car which tells us that the movie is an American gangster film because around the time, Pontiac cars where only sold in North America and it would have been very unlikely that you find one in any other country. The screen then turns and a white text appears that reads “New York, 1970” which establishes that this as an American gangster film because of the association people make with gangsters and large cities such as New York or Chicago. The scene is dark where they are driving, expressing to us that they are bad guys because we associate the night with crime or evil.

The cartoon was found in the comic section of the Gaston Gazette. This an important factor because it is a large scale local publication and many people view it. The idea that the cartoon is trying to convey is that it is just plain dumb to text while driving a car. The cowboy that is obviously texting already looks as though the lights are on but no one is home. In reality everyone should conclude that a real cowboy is not going to use a cell
David Malouf is an Australian author who adopts the subjects of strangeness and isolation in most of his works. His protagonist – Ovid – in An Imaginary Life is a stranger who is expelled from the Roman Empire into exile in the uncivilized and barbaric island of Tomis at the Black Sea. For him, Tomis is not only an exile in respect of place, but also an exile from civility, grasping and articulation since Tomis inhabitants do not speak his Roman tongue. Although he learns their language and rituals, he still remains a
Urban renewal does not concern African Americans’ true interest but instead put them in a shadow. Edward P. Jones argues that urban renewal forces African Americans to be removed from the city to purify or “whiten” the city to look more attractive and innocent over its dark side. Indeed urban renewal was Negro removal to benefit the city while, as Jones argues, making African Americans in Washington D.C. invisible to the rest of the world. In his short story collection, Lost in the City, Edward P. Jones argues that the government that
Essay “Me and Dave on mount Olympus”. Me and Dave on mount Olympus is an autobiographic essay concerning the experiences of the author Michel Faber and his eye opening trip to London. The essay describes a journey, that is not only geographic, but a mental passage, from one view of humanity to another, as well. We live in world of egoism; we live our life independently, and without the interest of other people, walking the streets every morning and go to the supermarket every evening, without seeing the world and noticing the people unlike our self. Michel Faber tells a story of how he experienced being forced to live among the people he would normally reject, and how it affected him later on.
