Ferris and his wife were the first to ride it along with the city’s mayor and a 40 piece band. The wheel was a huge success. It earned $726, 805 and $395,000 in profit. Several couples were married at the top of the wheel because of its beauty and fame. 3000 light bulbs were on the wheel to create a beautiful sight as they blinked. The wheel made 10,000 revolutions and carried 1.5 million passengers. The wheels last days were nearing. It ran smoothly until November 6, 1893, when the exposition ended. $400,000 in new debt and investors sold the structure for $1,800. It was reassembled in ST Louisiana for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Three million new riders enjoyed the wheel. The exposition soon closed because of complaints that the wheel was an eyesore. After the exposition, the wheel was moved to Chicago. Residents there petitioned to have the wheel removed. They stated that it was useless and undesirable.

there is many castles and ruins located all across the United Kingdom. The most famous being the Buckingham Palace where the reigning monarchy live. Another famous site is stonehenge where it is not known what took place here but many believe it was a place for Pagan rituals. These two are located in England but throughout the uk there are many different aspects of this country side. another interesting fact about the United Kingdom is that London England is connected to Paris France by a bullet train that runs between the two countries by way of the english channel.

The palace city gained its status as an international monument in the 1870s, and is now the most visited tourist attraction in Spain, surpassing both La Sagrada Familia and El Prado, with 2.4 million people visited Granada’s Moorish palace in 2014.

It is this history that gives the complex its significance beyond the superficial beauty that made it famous.

The High Roller observation wheel, measuring 520 feet in diameter, grants passengers an amazing visual tour.

For this observation assignment I positioned myself directly outside the HMV store in Woodgrove Mall. I set myself in the mall food court which allowed for a clear view of 75% of the store. I have a good view of the front half and the point of sale system, but a large poster obscures a large area of the left side of the store. I personally rarely shop at HMV, as I purchase my entertainment digitally or stream it from online sources. Recently HMV has moved into a new business model in which they sell more fan based merchandise. Examples of this include television or movie memorabilia, pop culture T-shirts, and other small items. I am more interested in this side of the store as it seems to have saved the brand in Canada. HMV Canada is the only HMV chain still thriving and I am curious to see who is supporting the store. I do not believe that the fact that I do not often shop at HMV will affect how I approach this research, but will instead help me.

The Broadway play “Clybourne Park” is based off the movie and play “The Raisin in the Sun”. It is written by Bruce Norris and was honored with many awards including the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for drama and the Tony Award for best play. Bruce Norris wrote the play by having it pick up right where “The Raisin in the Sun” left off. By doing this, Bruce Norris picks up where the drama was and shows the racial tensions in the 1950’s and 1960’s up until present day. To create this, writer Bruce Norris created a play with only two acts. The first act is based in the late 1950’s and early 60’s right after the war. The second act is based in the same house fifty years apart in the year 2009. By doing this

Ever since its creation by Gundolf in 1078, the Tower of London has served many purposes. Whether it was a royal residence or prison and torture chamber, most importantly, it has been a significant symbol and monument of English history and architecture. A small, modest building, many tourists are surprised to see the Tower of London, as it is not the magnificent, tall tower they were expecting. For some years, the Tower of London was used as a royal residence where monarchs would stay for a night before departing to continue their journey the next day. More interestingly, it was used as a prison, torture chamber, and execution grounds.

But line 1-8 as a whole is in contrast with line 9-14 where Shakespeare says he loves to hear her speak and that in fact he loves her and that even heaven recognises that. At the end, wee realise that the love you have for one person overcomes all of their imperfections.

The Tower of London is one of the most famous and visited historic monuments in the world. For some people it conjures up images of Norman architecture and towering battlements, but most associate it with arms and armour, ravens, the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders, imprisonment, death and ghostly apparitions.

The castle's first four centuries, during the Middle Ages, saw the development of the layout of buildings that we know today and its
