sources: The Castle‚ Kath & Kim and 48 shades. These all have a fairly accurate view on what it’s like in Australia (mostly Logan)‚ although some skits are a little far fetched.

There are many things we could focus on in “The Castle” but I’d like to take a look at racism. Now‚ we know that there is in fact a foreigner there

Those six characters would be Chandler and Joey whom share an apartment across the corridors from the apartment shared by Monica and Rachel. The remaining two friends comprise Ross

Show me the money By Semran Thamer The histogram that shows the salaries of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2009 shows data that is skewed right.

The bulk of the data lies in amounts that range from $300‚000 to $1‚000‚000. The shape of the data represents a bell curve‚ because most of the salaries are less than $1‚000

question of whether universities should have co-ed dorms or not has been an ongoing discussion for years. Most college capuses have them for the dependcy of the the student.

‘The Truman Show’ is a comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir. The film talks about a man - Truman Burbank who’s unaware of being in a reality television show for the whole of his life.

The camera shots and angles used in this scene illustrate Truman’s emotions perfectly. Meryl’s unreasonable clothing and voice elicits curiosity from
