The World Of Wanderlust : An Original 1935 Monopoly Board Game

The Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary reveals the obscure social messages behind the animated films created by the Disney Company. Although we are conditioned to believe that these movies are pure forms of entertainment, further examination has proved that there are hidden messages concerning gender, race and class that Disney is instilling in the minds of children. The speakers in the documentary argue that Disney is extremely political and hides its ideas behind innocence, magic and fun. When masked by features that are appealing to a younger audience, it is difficult to realize these ideas without taking a closer look.

As the calculated data showed a lot of potential in the sales of chairs and tables the design majorly focuses on sitting space. The design area can be looked as functional bedroom with a Sofa bed right in the front complimented with chairs placed in an irregular circular fashion. The Rug is placed diagonal in the room rather than the usual rectangular pattern to bring out the empty space more. Because of the Minimalistic design the Display is majorly populated with items that are for sale.

I had returned to my old home, and the house was the same as when I left. Well, on the outside. When I walked inside things were broken, and some things were not even there. I showed the guests around the house and to their

The first thing that stood out to me was a small set of hand carved wooden chess pieces. They were kept in great condition, along with the bag that held them, aside from one hole in the bag itself. Above the glass cases were Civil War flags for different regiments with a particular focus on the Louisiana based regiment. Once I looked at the array of flags on left wall I focused my attention back to the glass cases again. The further down the wall I progressed the more personal items I came across. Uniforms and tokens given to soldiers from both the Confederates and the Union soldiers were on display with plaques inside giving biographical information on the

For my Museum visit I chose to go to the Atlantic County Historical Society in Somers Point, NJ. When I originally had gone I didn’t know what to expect exactly. I thought for the most part they would talk to me about the history of Atlantic county which they did however they had amazing objects and memorabilia that date back centuries. They had everything from old toys made of amazing wood to guns that were heavier then I had originally anticipated. While I was there the staff told me stories about everything from famous spots in Atlantic City to Margate even some things about my hometown of Absecon.

Many board games are used to bring in family, friends, and even strangers to come together and socialize. What many people do not know is that sometimes these games teaches our society the values, skills, and social statuses in each individual’s life. Video games such as Medal of Honor or Call of Duty teach young teens (even children), the American pride of being a soldier. Board games such as Life teaches individuals about life in general or what is expected by society when children move on to be adults (go to college, have a job, have kids, get married). I’ve decided to examine the Monopoly board game, where it teaches a variety of values, skills, and social inequalities.

For the chandelier and candle sticks I chose stand-out items that are still interesting lit or unlit, based on Elsie’s statement of, “A lamp, or a wall fixture, or a chandelier, or a candlestick, must be beautiful in itself—beautiful by sunlight,—if it is really

William Shakespeare influenced much of our modern society. For example, he contributed more than seventeen hundred words to our English language, including ‘eyeball’. Some would attribute his success to his brilliant writing style. While this is certainly true, what made the experience memorable was the scene of the performances, the marvelous Globe Theater! The Globe is a feat of history, design, and special effects.

The store is different from others because instead of buying an already built or used building, they instead bought some land and built on it. The land they bought was at the corner of two popular roads making

Elizabeth Magie invented “Monopoly” in 1903 before Charles Darrow did. She did this by randomly putting objects together to create a game. Magie was an abolitionist and anti-capitalist who came up with Landlord's Game. This game contributed to financial domination which was later on called Monopoly. Elizabeth started this game because she wanted to show everyone that they should be taxed on how much land they owned; even though others believed it was to go against conniving monopolies during their time period (Pilon).

In every scavengers career there is always one particular treasure that is the most cherished. That one special treasure had yet to be found by Skyler Evans, she had a plentiful collection of artifacts, but still had a longing for that one empty spot to be filled. Skyler lived with her parents in an apartment in Sacramento, California, her passion was to scavenge or search for interesting things. The perfect place to go scavenging is the old abandoned carnival that shut down five years ago. For years Skyler had attempted to enter and search the grounds for that special item, but has never found the means of entry. After collecting dozens of keys over the years, Skyler decides to test her luck and heads to the abandoned carnival. When the venue came into sight, a cold, dry breeze swept the area, she shook off the eerie feeling and built up the courage to try and enter. Hours and hours had gone by that had felt like days,

Monopoly Monopoly is a board game that was first published by the Parker Brothers, an American toy and game manufacturer, in 1935. Known also as “The Fast-Dealing Property Trading Game,” Monopoly is a game about owning the most properties, having the most money, and defeating your competition by leading them to declare bankruptcy. Monopoly allows you to do this through different opportunities of charging rent for the properties you own when another player lands on your space, building “houses” and “hotels” to increase the rent price of your properties, and by picking up or losing extra money through the “chance” and “community chest” spaces on the board. The game revolves around the idea of a monopoly, which is when a market is exclusively

I was reading the Daily Treasure (a newspaper for pirates), when I stumbled across an editorial about an island that was filled with a large variety of treasure, but it was very hard to find. Automatically, I was filled with excitement. I hurried to tell my fellow buccaneers about my findings. They were all enthused.We decided to begin our adventure the next day, leaving time for preparation. Of course, we didn’t know what to expect, so we gathered the basic necessities: food and drink. We cleared space for the future treasure we would find and went to rest. We knew there was a big day ahead of

After we had our peppermint tea, and then set off on our grad adventure to the museum. Upon getting there the first thing I noticed in the architecture. The

The center of the room is what draws your attention. It leaves your mouth open in amazement. The long rectangle table is made of strong mahogany solid wood, trimmed in a thin layer of gold. The top of the table is filled with brownish marble. The long back and tall legged chairs are also made of mahogany wood. The cushion on the chairs are soft like down alternative pillows. The square crystal clear dinner plate, trimmed in platinum, sit in front of the 30 chairs that surround the table. A fresh mixed green centerpiece is in the center of the
