The next review that was written by Basketball Dad on theMDsports was similar to the first one. He talks about how long it took to put it together and basically says you better give yourself a lot of time.

He is currently waiting for some replacement parts to be sent in to fix the rims that started breaking and says “I will update my review and add

George Orwell’s essays – related text ‘Marrakech’ explores the notion of ethnocentricity through a Eurocentric perspective‚ in which one is isolated at the consequence of differing morels. Orwell succeeds in doing so through various anecdotes “What does Morocco mean to a Frenchman? An orange-grove or a job in government service.” In essence this displays the failure of a migrant to withhold a deeper connection to the land.

Personal Problems George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant” is a simple essay with a strong message. Throughout the piece‚ the narrator faces the same conflict day after day and was “hated by large numbers of people” (Orwell 377).
