enter the drug trafficking world to better their lives financially, and two police officers wanting to eradicate a drug trafficking network. This action packed crime film demonstrates the drug problems that are currently happening with Strait of Gibraltar. Although both these films were created in two different places, they share the same underlying plot. However, in order to understand the meanings of these two films, it is important to analyze and dive into the deeper meaning of this film as it

Spain is roughly about 504,750 sq. km., including the Balearic and Canary islands (CIA). This land mass is roughly double the size of our state of Oregon. The country is located in Western Europe and borders the countries of; Andorra, France, Gibraltar, Portugal and Morocco (Ceuta and Melilla) (CIA).

In the 19th Century, The Jews Muslims and Christians living in Spain experienced a golden age. The golden age was a time of great peace and prosperity among the nations due to the Muslim’s acceptance, accommodation and peaceful relations with the Jews and Christians. This golden age began when the Muslims began conquering the Iberian Peninsula in 711. When Islam was first founded, it was only practiced within the borders of Arabia(modern day Saudi Arabia). However, the Muslims began converting large

and militaristically. Their ships were not equipped to explore. There are two ways the Ottomans could have sailed to the Americas: Through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic, or through the Red Sea and around Africa. The Ottomans were not as geographically predisposed for exploration. For the Ottomans to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar during the time of exploration and colonization, they would have had to face Spain, which was now mainly Catholic, who were the nations that discovered

own colonies, and Spain’s territory was already susceptible to British attack. Over the past century, Britain had already captured Spanish territory like Florida and Gibraltar. Spain’s assistance, however, could be earned through recapture of its losses. Britain had the opportunity to buy Spain’s neutrality with the return of Gibraltar, but they had refused. France offered to help reclaim some of Spain’s losses for their participation of the side of the American colonies. Spain declined to make an

Plate tectonic convergence at a rate of about 4 mm/year between the Eurasian and African. Plates dominates the straits of Gibraltar (Argus et al., 1989). The stratigraphic evolution of the sediment drifts is therefore greatly influenced by both regional tectonics and ocean circulation (Medialdea et al., 2009; Lopes et al., 2006; Terrinha et al., 2009; Zitellini et al., 2009). Coring results from Expedition 339 showed that initial contourite formation started at about 4.5 to 4.2 Ma ago with more

sailor. It’s unlikely that Captain Briggs and Morehouse did not at least have a causal relationship with each other before departure, because they had such common interests. The two ships followed roughly the same course, with Dei Gratia heading to Gibraltar and Mary Celeste originally intended to reach Genoa. Captain Morehouse set sail from the same port eight days after the Mary Celeste on November 15. On December 4, 19 days into their journey and relatively close to the shore of Portugal, the crew

The chapter Wandering Rocks is unique in multiple ways just as how it has multiple character perspectives. It took me a second to figure out that the words “wandering rocks” actually correlate to Ulysses (as in the book we are reading), and the character Ulysses in the Odyssey. Ulysses, Joyce’s novel, correlates to wandering rocks as in the chapter, “Wandering Rocks”, the reader has a taste of Leopold’s journey from different character perspectives. For example, when the character Ned Lambert said
