Analysis of facility and focus area
After visiting the Arena whose characteristics I have tried to summarize up to this point of the essay, my opinion is that the facility perfectly moulds over the customers' needs and financial possibilities. It provides glamour for all those who can afford it, but also a comfortable, entertaining atmosphere for all those Americans that come back home late at night, open the refrigerator and drink the beer for which they work hard all day long. Thus, the Arena may be considered an oasis that people choose when they want to spend some moments "far from the madding crowd" of day-to-day life. In order to achieve this objective, the management uses various stratagems to enhance the programs' attractiveness. For example, the Las Vegas Wranglers organizes the traditional mullet hat night every year and is the only team "to hold a game that is played at midnight" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Wranglers).The main reason for the latter concession is the Las Vegans' program which overlaps the game hours. The hockey team is also sensitive to outside reality, a proof of this statement being the orange vests with the inscription "Don't shoot...I'm Human!" that the hockey players wore during a game on March 17, 2006, as an innuendo to Vice President Dick Cheney's haunting accident. The Arena also offers different advantages to loyal customers such as invitations to meet-the-team events, free tickets to pre-season games etc.
What I found very touching was one of the Arena's values stating that it " welcomes all guests, regardless of...
It also focuses on attracting sponsors by offering opportunities that they can't refuse. In these terms, the Orleans Arena promises a high visibility for the companies' banners, displayed in a non-clustered medium and an impressive rate of exposure due to the significant number of viewers. The sponsors are also invited to enjoy performances from luxury suites in exchange for their contribution.
All these marketing tools make me assert that the original purpose of entertainment for all tastes and pockets has been completely reached. Moreover, one could state that the target has been exceeded because the facility may also host official summits of significant institutions or companies due to its meeting area of 10,800 square feet.
In conclusion, for a person like me that had kept in mind the literary image of the Roman arenas with sand-covered floors absorbing the blood of gladiators, visiting the Orleans Arena was an overwhelming experience. This is why I guess I wouldn't hesitate to play the guide's role for someone else wishing to discover its mirage.

Alice To extent Alice considered role-model young women? According 2 Alice novels: Alice's adventures Wonderland through Looking Glass Lloyd contends that "the 145-year-old story by Lewis Carroll and the story's heroine, a seven-year-old girl, has much to teach twenty-first century young women." According to Lloyd "Alice's direct, candid approach to life is something to which today's college-aged women relate. They understand the story of a young woman who has the world before her,
Other cinematic techniques that aided in the telling of the story was simplicity of the focus and frames. With modern computer animation, shots that pan, move in and out, or adjust focus without cuts are now as commonplace in animation as they are in live-action films. The older style of animation, in which backgrounds were often stationary and hardly ever shifted scale without a cut, is actually better suited
While I always found these to be extremely entertaining, I never connected them to the politics of the time. I did catch some of the timeless joked, like Alice stating that in life, "one must either eat or be eaten." I was always quite entertained by the little "nuggets of wisdom" in this book, quotes by all kinds of animals and people. It requires concentrated consideration to really make
Carroll / Burnett Within the English canon of literary fairy-tales -- what German literary critics would refer to as a "marchen," or a conscious attempt to write imaginative literature, with some level of artistry, for children -- both The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll seem to have withstood the test of time, and attained a level of canonicity. Yet to call these
Alice in Wonderland Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898, was not only a writer, but a mathematician as well, which is probably why he loved riddles and puns (Lewis pp). His facility at word play, logic and fantasy has delighted and captivated audiences for more than a century (Lewis pp). His work appeals to both the naive and the most sophisticated, and has been a source of influence of many
The natural hatred between mice and cats is reflected in the mouse's expressed anguish against Alice's amazed narrative of cats in her world: "Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs." This simple line carries with the weight of the history of social inequality: Carroll endeavors his readers to look into history how
