An important location in the novel was at the shoreline of Santa Teresa del Mar in Cuba, where Celia del Pino lived. This location was the reoccurring focal point of the whole novel, no matter which point of view the story was told from, it always came back to this house in Santa Teresa del Mar. If I was to have the opportunity to visit this place, I would absolutely. Celia’s house was facing the ocean; Celia would imagine seeing the Florida Keys only 90 miles away. In the novel Cuba went…

The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about gender differences in regards to “hooking up” is the old saying that girls are from Venus and boys are from Mars. Now I get that men and women are actually both from Earth, but when it comes to sex games and intrigue both sexes defiantly seem to be coming from different planets, maybe even different galaxies.

A pink polka dot skirt twirls perfectly as the girl spins proudly and excitedly around waiting for the bus to pick her up for school, but as she walks down the aisle, fingers start to point and her peers laugh as she passes. She unknowingly had her skirt…

But we are doing pretty well. We have the freedom of speech, religion and even carer. But… If you are applying for a job people can judge you on your race, religion even looks.
