Indeed, there is a sort of irony in that the murder-mystery plot of Gosford Park was exactly what Weissman wanted to capture for his own fictional movie: Charlie Chan in London. The movie begins with the guests and servants assembling at Gosford Park for a shooting party hosted by Sir William McCordle. The housekeeper, Mrs. Wilson, promptly organizes the guests’ valets and personal maids in their lodgings,
the 1930s, near the end of the era of domestic service in the U.K, Robert Altman’s Gosford Park through its film design and its usage of heritages spaces and period details examines the separate worlds — "upstairs" and "downstairs" — of rich society people and their servants at a country mansion. Sir William McCordle is a wealthy industrialist-turned-aristocrat, with a magnificent country state named ‘Gosford Park' in the English countryside, complete with staff.

A full spectrum of social class is depicted in the movie, Gosford Park. In the cleverly written screen play, the lives of British social aristocrats, their lowly servants, and some of Hollywood’s American elitists intertwine during a weekend shooting party in a country estate.

Through it’s carefully chosen soundtrack of cheerful music on a drearily rainy

Assignment at a Park Hayden Park was an interesting place for a Freeze-Frame assignment. For those who have not heard of a Freeze-Frame, it is simply sitting in one spot for 15 to 20 minutes observing ones surroundings. So to continue, at first glance, Hayden Park is a typical Valley of the Sun type park. Most of these typical parks have grass, picnic tables, some trees, and usually some sort of sports availability such as a basketball court or soccer field, or both. In addition, the parks also have
Introduction With the rapid growth of the American population and the greater demand for work, large urban areas developed throughout the U.S. landscape. Urbanization, as it is called, is the replacement of the rural areas with more urban ones. Urbanization has impacted human behavior and wildlife as well and most likely won’t be ending anytime soon as humanity continues to push into wildlife habitats.

Lake Park is a beautiful, family and pet friendly part of these parks, with lots of activities for the whole family. The breeze whispering through the trees and the sun sparkling of the water of the lakes, makes
Creek. Other factors including canopy cover, and urban runoff could have also altered water quality. I infer that the water quality was affected more by other factors. The two sites with about the same amount of human activity were McKinney Falls State Park and Bulls Creek. On the other hand, Wild Basin swimming is not allowed. Our results showed that the order from greatest to least amount of nitrate and phosphorous concentration was Bulls Creek, McKinney Falls, and Wild Basin at the lowest. Hence, because
