My hometown is worth visiting

Sarawak-my hometown and I am proud of it. The scenery, languages, historical places, interesting places and various foods are very special to me as the resident of The Earth of Hornbill. I am proud to promote my hometown to everybody as Sarawak has its own attraction. I will be gladsome to recommend the most popular places in Sarawak which is also known as the main attraction such as Sarawak Cultural Village, Jong’s Crocodile Farm, Sarawak tribe languages and the most known well foods among the visitors likes Laksa Sarawak, Kek Lapis Sarawak and the most unique one is Manok Pansoh. As the one of the attraction in my hometown, Sarawak Cultural Village which is also known as “Museum of Life” will be always welcomes the visitors to come and visit the village as the same as Jong’s Crocodile Farm. At the Sarawak Cultural Village, they can see the replicas of buildings that represent every major indigenous tribe in Sarawak. In addition to make it more interesting, visitors also can hold their wedding at the Sarawak Cultural Village in the style of traditional that they are like too. Furthermore, Sarawak Cultural Village is also the venue of the World Harvest Festival and the Rainforest World Music Festival, which are an internationally renowned festival. As the same as the Sarawak Cultural Village, Jong’s Crocodile Farm also welcomes the visitors. I often heard the rumour said that Sarawak is a country that has many crocodile due to the incident of crocodile attacks that usually happens to Sarawak local residents. Well, maybe it is true about the numbers of the crocodile in Sarawak as the Jong’s Crocodile Farm is the biggest rearing, breading and rehabilitation in Malaysia. Its places more than 1000 crocodiles with different sizes, types and just for information, those crocodiles are also come from different areas. The visitors will be presented by the crocodile feeding show that will hold in the afternoon and in the evening.

    The play “Our Town” explores the lives of people (primarily two families) living in a small and quiet American town in the 1900’s. In the first act entitled “Daily life”, the narrator did a good job of guiding the audience’s imagination to set up the ideas of a town in the early 1900’s. The lighting and sound cues made that very successful. The lighting was on cue and was very good at setting the scenes (i.e. brighter for morning sunrise). Realistic sets and props were minimal but, the performers pantomimed the majority of the play. The performers did a good job of conveying the imagery use of cooking, opening doors, and eating food. The performers were so believable that your imagination wasn’t very hard to use because things came to sight as if it was really on stage. The costumes of the performers set the age of the play and made you believe that you were in an earlier day and age. In act one, you follow the lives of the Gibbs family and the Webb family. Dr. Gibbs appears hardworking and is soft-spoken. Mrs. Gibbs is good in portraying that her husband is overworked and should take a vacation. Rebecca is George’s little sister. George seems scared or nervous in the delivery of his lines. There is many long pauses before he speaks as if he has forgotten his lines. He wasn’t enthusiastic at all. George seems not to understand or express the character's motivation. In the Webb family, Mr. Webb is great in the delivery of his lines. Mrs. Webb portrays a strict but loving mother. Emily Webb their daughter is very bright and hopeful. Wally Webb is her younger brother. When Emily and George are talking to each other at their windows, he seems to forget his words. Without a stellar Emily, the emotional potential is lost. The cast seems as if it was dead before act three of the funeral. Act two is about love and marriage. This scene reflects the love between George and Emily. In act two, Emily rises as the star of the play. She is very clear in her words and motivated.…

    In the play "Our Town", by Thornton Wilder, a character by the name of Simon Stimson makes a very insightful statement about people and their lives. Simon is dead and buried, as well as several of the play's other characters, when a newly-dead young woman named Emily joins their ranks and begins to realize the triviality and ignorance of her existence, as well as that of every living person. The dead are discussing this insignificance and unawareness of the living when Simon comments with disgust on how much living persons waste their life, asserting, "To spend and waste time as though you had a million years." In this statement, Simon is referring to the degree of which people take their lives for granted. People are often so busy and so consumed by relatively minor matters that they never stopped to realize how truly special everything is. They go about their days following strict schedules and routines, always rushing about to meet their many obligations, and never take the time to simply cherish even the small things. Most people wake-up in the morning, rush about to leave for school or their jobs, work or learn all day, only to come home and have yet more obligations to take care of, never once taking time out to stop and enjoy things for themselves. Simon is referring to the daily routines and events the consume people's lives as a waste of time, for they do not realize how genuinely short their lives are. Simon is upset with people for never taking time to admire the beauty that surrounds their lives, never cherishing the time they have with others, and even being ignorant of life's small pleasures, such as fresh clothes and hot baths. People live their lives working towards something they think will always be attainable, setting their eyes on the future, living for the future, rushing for the future, and ignoring the present. With "Our Town", Thornton Wilder is attempting to show us these faults and trying to persuade us to live in and for the…

    My unique background is being un-unique. Growing up in Highlands Ranch, Colorado as a white female I don’t have much of a unique background. I have lived in Colorado for my whole life, in the same neighborhood and same house. My whole life I have been surrounded by privileged Highlands Ranch kids. Growing up in the city known as the “Bubble”, I am rarely exposed to those with different life experiences then my own. We all have similar families, houses, and lives. For the most part we all have the same background. Because I have been surrounded by those so similar to me, I am interested in different cultures and backgrounds. I have always been very open minded to new ideas and backgrounds. The idea of different than myself intrigues me. I don’t always want to be surrounded by the same, instead I want to experience different. To experience this different, I took a roadtrip to Chicago with one of my closest friends. The windy city was nothing like the “Bubble” I was used to.…

    In the essay “The Barrio,” by Robert Ramirez describes the essences of Latino neighborhood. Ramirez believes that Latinos see their neighborhoods as their own home, a place to rest from the shaken living style of the United States. Ramirez states “Members of the barrio describe the entire area as their home. It is a home, but it is more than this. The barrio is a refuge from the harshness and the coldness of the Anglo world. It is a forced refuge.” But Ramirez admits the reason that he will never see himself in the barrio for many inconveniences for example, poverty and hunger. They are disadvantages that Latinos neighborhoods suffer with intensity.…

    Poets of the XX century in United States of America express their feelings and thoughts in their poems. Each writer has his own style. To give a poem their style they use a unique way of treating theme, structure and tone. Thanks to these elements, readers can compare and contrast similar poems. “Chicago” by Carl Sandburg and “My city” by James Weldon Johnson are two poems that are similar, but in their own way different. These poems are similar in the fact that they both talk about the proud the feeling for their cities; their theme and tone are similar, but they differ in structure.…

    World War I, known as the Great War, was the first total war between the European nations. Many soldiers had died in the terrible conditions of the trenches. Not only were countless lives lost in the war, but land, especially in France and Belgium, were also destroyed. There were also many controversies when the Great War finally ended. Many leaders had different and conflicting opinions on how the treaty was going to be put together. Some, like Clemenceau and Lloyd George of Britain, wanted the Treaty of Versailles to punish and blame Germany for starting the war. Others, like Woodrow Wilson of the US, felt that laying blame would not lead to peace. The United States, France, and Britain were called the "Big Three," since they dominated in…

    The Place I Come from

    Many of us have a different view of our home town. Some cannot wait to leave, while others never want to leave their mother’s couch. Some look at it as a paradise, free of worries or decision making, while others look at it as their own personal hell, full of people and places they despise. I, on the other hand, have a different view of my hometown. It is not exactly what I would call a perfect, pleasant, island getaway, paradise but it is not what I imagine hell would be like either. It has its downfalls, rainy days, and “hellish” things about it, but it would not be the same without them. I would never describe it as something ordinary or picturesque. It has its own special characteristics. The place I come from is like a refrigerator.…
