Geography 104 Field Trip: Observations of On the class field trip to downtown Victoria, I observed a variety of the different building structures, functions, and diversity and how they have evolved over time. Along with my observations I obtained a grasp on some historical knowledge of places including the harbour, Chinatown, and Bastion Square. The Inner Harbour is provides what some might say the most stunning view in Victoria. It is full of adventure and holds different opportunities for both residents and tourists to really experience and adventure Victoria’s landscape. Its oceanfront is home to a major seaplane airport, providing both tours and transportation.
The town of Las Vegas could be considered a twenty-four hour party. As I entered this exhilarating place, flashing lights and buildings that seemed to touch the sky pulled me in even further. Taxis and buses sped down the roads to drop passengers off to have the time of their lives. An endless amount of people walk up and down the Vegas Strip, stopping wherever they desired to capture unforgettable memories with their cameras. During the day, the city is an enjoyable place to be, but at night it truly comes alive.
Tortilla Curtain Analysis The United States of America has always been seen as the land of the free, land of opportunist and land of the welcome. However in the novel, Tortilla Curtain, by T.C. Boyle, Boyle exploits the social distortion found in America. Boyle ingeniously unmasks the ridicule standards of diverse societal classes through remote rhetorical devices, ironical situations and juxtaposed principles. He intends to focus on a specific state, southern California, for its diversity among the social-economic classes.

Ethical Systems in Brooklyn’s Finest Examined An Analysis of the Characters We begin our analysis with whom I consider the most interesting and seemingly real-life character of Sal Procida. Sal is a 30-something cop with a family and baby on the way. I am assuming he is working vice and assisting with undercover drug buys. Sal seems to have no problem stuffing his pockets with cash and killing drug offenders along the way. This demonstration of egoism seems to be in interest of survival of his family and himself to make ends meet.
Even to the people who live there and are used to it are impressed by the lights. Neon signs have become a Las Vegas art form. Entire properties become signs. The neon and high powered lights are everywhere. This makes being on the strip an activity.
I’m gonna hook you up” (Honey). He doesn’t act like a regular criminal but he rather acts like he’s a fine business man. Needless to say, there’s a theme of crime in “American Gangster” also. Frank, the boss of a gang selling drugs, shows every elements of crime in New York. He sells drugs, shoots people, and bribes cops.
Social psychology - Branch of psychology that studies how a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behavior are influenced by the presence of other people and by the social and physical environment. Social psychology was displayed in the movie when the two characters went into a drug deal undercover and one was acting as if he was hispanic in origin, while the other character was able to sustain in using the mexican accent. The character that was unable to use the accent consistently blew their cover as undercover cops. The criminals were able to spot out their true identities due to the mistake one of the undercover cops made. This almost got the undercover cops killed.

Then he meets Mills, an impulsive young cop who actually asked to be transferred into Somerset’s district.
While clearly pertaining to the fantasy genre, Grimm brothers’ tales have many realistic themes (family, marriage, fortune, heredity, power) veiled by an accessible language, an unambiguous style and an atmosphere of childish naïveté. However, the world evoked in the book does not belong to the children: innocence is sanitized (e.g. Hans in Luck), while manipulation and inveiglement are praised (e.g.The Raven). This collection is not a moral guide as it gives practical lessons about life. The unsuspecting reader does not enter a magical childlike land, but he progressively masters the art of manipulation.
