...Michael Billington Dr. Oguine College English 1202 ZAH Poetry Paper March 2, 2004 Death Reflected in Three Poems Death is a natural and inevitable part of life. Everyone will experience death, whether it is of a loved one or oneself. In W.H. Auden’s poem “Funeral Blues” (1003), he describes such a catastrophic event and the drastic effect that it has on his life. It is interesting how people choose to accept this permanent and expected event, death. Similarly, Emily Dickinson has written many poems about death, such as “The last Night that She lived” (843), which describes a family waiting for a woman or girl to die and the dreary and depressed mood that exists within the household. Mourning is considered a perfectly healthy reaction when someone who is deeply loved and cared about passes on, and this is illustrated in “The Memory of Elena” (1070-71) by Carolyn Forche. She writes about the events following a funeral and also flashes back to the actual moment that a wife has watched her husband die. W.H Auden’s “Funeral Blues,” Carolyn Forche’s “The Memory of Elena,” and Emily Dickinson’s “The last Night that She lived” are all poems which share death as their subject matter, but differ in the fact that they discuss death in a unique style with a variety of literary devices to make them more effective. Upon reading these poems, I could relate to each strongly on a personal level. Each poem expresses a different view of death and the different stages...

... During conversation you can also expect for native people to get into your personal space because in the Puerto Rican culture it is normal to be very close when speaking to someone (Rivera, 1995). Locals will also have no problem interrupting you and finishing your sentences because in their culture it is normal and a part of their daily lives (Rivera, 1995). Puerto Ricans also love their food, many of the traditional dishes in Puerto Rico are a blend of many backgrounds such as Spanish, African, and American. While seafood is major part of their diet, Puerto Ricans eat a lot of chicken. I can remember having chicken at least ten times during our six day stay. Many of the dishes that I had on the island were Spanish dishes such as la paella or chicken and rice. If you are not a fan of chicken and or do not like spices in your food then you will need to pack your lunches. It is also not customary to have ice served with your drinks on the island which can take getting used to because in America we have ice with almost every drink. The Spanish influence is not just felt within their language and food. The architecture on the island is dominated by Spanish heritage. The buildings are colorful pastel shades lined with narrow streets of cobblestone (Rivera, 1995). ...

Also very important for me is to taste a Spanish food. Going out for a meal is the favourite leisure activity of Barcelona people.

Many of these also have a terrace, because the natives of Barcelona love to eat outdoors. It would be nice to spend evenings degustating local food, for example, tapas and la paella, and drinks (Horchata) at the same time enjoying the atmosphere of local people and other tourists too.

...1. CHARACTERISTICS OF WESTERN CUISINE- : European cuisine The cuisines of Western countries are diverse by themselves, although there are common characteristics that distinguish Western cooking from cuisines of Asian countries and others. Compared with traditional cooking of Asian countries, for example, meat is more prominent and substantial in serving-size. Steak in particular is a common dish across the West. Similarly to some Asian cuisines, Western cuisines also put substantial emphasis on sauces as condiments, seasonings, or accompaniments (in part due to the difficulty of seasonings penetrating the often larger pieces of meat used in Western cooking). Many dairy products are utilized in the cooking process, except in nouvelle cuisine. Wheat-flourbread has long been the most common sources of starch in this cuisine, along with pasta, dumplings and pastries, although the potato has become a major starch plant in the diet of Europeans and their diaspora since the European colonization of the Americas. 2. EFFECT OF WESTERN CUISINE PHILIPPINE CUISINE – Cuisine is one of the main traditions and pride in Philippine culture. Philippine Cuisine is a fusion of different culinary cultures, influence from neighboring countries as well as relics from the colonial era. Philippine Cuisine is a unique combination of Eastern and Western flavors. It is a blend of spicy and full of flavor spices from Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, has a different style of saudi arabia and china...

...(hence why it is sometimes called Las Ramblas) which connect the main avenue to several important areas within the city. These include the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona (essentially the older part of the city housing several churches and cathedrals) and La Boqueria (a public fresh produce market that has been in operation since the 13th century), making La Rambla more or less the heart of Barcelona where you can get a taste of the city's local culture at its very best. For the love of tapas Speaking of 'taste', food is obviously an essential part of a traveller's experience, bringing to mind the question: what to eat in Barcelona? With Barcelona being a port city along the Mediterranean, one might be tempted to say 'seafood' but while the paella de marisco (traditional Spanish wet rice with seafood) in Barcelona is to die for, might I suggest a more unique gastronomic adventure? Tapas is a culinary culture unique to Spain. The food is often served in smaller portions and typically costs 3 EUR (3.35 USD) per dish and is more about enjoying the company of friends and sampling the many flavours of Spain than it is an actual meal (but that doesn't mean it's not filling!). And while tapas dishes are readily available throughout Spain, the dishes vary between regions. In Barcelona, some of the must-try tapas (with a local twist) are: pan con tomate (toasted bread infused with tomato and olive oil), patatas bravas (deep fried potato cubes often served with garlic mayo and spicy tomato...

...To Whom It May Concern: This is a formal complaint of our experience with the RIU Palace Paradise Island. We checked into the RIU Palace Paradise Island on Thursday, December 10th, 2009 at approximately 3:00 PM. Upon check-in we were greeted by Front Desk staff member, Felicity, where she assigned us RM 804. Before we got into the elevator to go to our room, she stopped us and said she needed to change our room. After a few minutes we were then changed to RM 1202. Upon arrival to the room we were greeted by construction workers who were making repairs to the room, we also found another guest’s belongings residing in the room. While in transit back to the front desk, we were met by Felicity again, who said she changed our room to RM 817, and handed us another set of keys. When we reached to the 8th floor, we were greeted by a plethora of construction workers on the floor, in which we had to maneuver our way through and around them to get to our room. Upon arrival to our room, the first light to enter the room did not work, there were exposed electrical outlets, some questionable liquid white substance on the dresser where the TV sits, also various holes in the wall, in addition to the sprinkler being exposed, and none of the lights working in the room. We went back to the front desk to make a complaint, and they transferred us to RM 902. After retrieving our luggage from RM 817 and carrying it to RM 902, we found the door open, and were greeted once again by construction workers...
