¶ … Jennifer was a 9-year-old "Army brat" living Mannheim, Germany with her parents. Her father was an Army master sergeant and her mother was a "stay-at-home mom" that enjoyed seeing the sights with her children, Jennifer, and her two brothers, Bill (7 years old) and James (13 years old). One week her mom told Jennifer, "We're going to Paris this weekend so pack your bags!" "Oh boy!," Jennifer though to herself, "I finally get to see the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame." Her mom had signed them up for an Army-sponsored tour of Paris and they arrived 30 minutes early to make sure they didn't miss the bus which was leaving at 7:30 P.M. Jennifer was so excited she could barely sit still and sleep was almost impossible, but the bus trip was a long one and she finally dozed off. In the morning, she woke up to find herself in the outskirts of Paris and she could actually see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. She woke her mother up and said, "We're here!" The first stop on the tour was Notre Dame Cathedral and Jennifer and...
After a 30-minute tour that Jennifer didn't really understand too well, they visited the gift shop which was always Jennifer's favorite part of a tour anyway. After looking around at the high prices for most of the souvenirs, Jennifer settled on a handful of postcards she intended to mail to her friends back in Germany and the United States as proof positive that she had actually been to Paris. The line at the gift shop checkout was long because of all of the tours, and the cashier didn't seem to be in any hurry. Jennifer's mom came up and said, "You'd better hurry. The tour bus leaves in 5 minutes" and said she would meet her on the bus. Jennifer was absolutely squirming with impatience now, but the gift shop line wasn't moving and she heard the tour guide announce that their bus was leaving. The post card rack was on the other side of the crowded store, and Jennifer didn't think she had time to return them. Not knowing what else to do, she stuffed the postcards in her…international sex tourism has been a worldwide curse for a long time, the last few decades witnessed great surge in its practice as the effects of globalization, poverty and consumerism spread while advancement in internet caused an increase in travel opportunities. The racist fantasies and unusual interest in sexual activities in the developing countries along with poor law enforcement have made way for sex tourism. Though some may have
James Baldwin grew up a neglected child. He was a black man in a white man's world -- gay man who was trying to make his mark in the world of literature. "You write of your experiences," James Baldwin once said. James Baldwin wrote to overcome the barriers in his life. To better understand the thematic importance of Paris and the room in this book, we need to begin with the
Absurdity of Life in Modernist Drama Although not prolific, the contemporary American playwright Peter Morris demonstrates very readily the way in which the absurdist strain in modernist drama has carried through into the early twenty-first century. What is most interesting about Morris's work in this light is the way that earlier theatrical movements -- most particularly the theater of the absurd -- are being incorporated and effectively used as one rhetorical

In "Piaf," Pam Gems provides a view into the life of the great French singer and arguably the greatest singer of her generation -- Edith Piaf. (Fildier and Primack, 1981), the slices that the playwright provides, more than adequately trace her life. Edith was born a waif on the streets of Paris (literally under a lamp-post). Abandoned by her parents -- a drunken street singer for a mother and a
America's sprawling territories makes it easy for people to leave their families and connections, making it easier to kill or be killed. On one hand, the inventions of the Fair and the belief in commercialism and industry makes spectacle possible in a way that is not easily replicated anywhere else, Eiffel Tower aside.
