can easily trace this American-Spanish heritage in such city names as San Francisco, Los Angeles. As for food, people in the streets eat hamburgers and donuts as readily as tostada or tacos.

WIDE SARGASSO SEA – SUMMARY PART ONE Narrated by Antoinette, Part One of Wide Sargasso Sea focuses on her childhood in Jamaica. Section one (p3 to 7) In this section Antoinette tells how her family and herself grow more and more isolated, after her father’s death. She lives in a place called Coulibri Estate with her mother, her handicapped brother Pierre, and three servants, Christophine, Godfrey and Sass. The Emancipation Act of 1833, i.e. the abolition of slavery, has left the family

by scrapping a promotions test that few black candidates passed leaves city officials in a bind. Lose the test and you punish those who aced it. Keep it and you risk leaving intact a lack of diversity at the fire department's senior levels. The case, Ricci v. DeStefano, is renewing debate over affirmative action, not least because it reverses a judgment signed off on by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

This document is a photography. We can see a man who is on the back of a donkey. This man has short black hair, he has a delicate face and he looks worried... Presumably this man comes from a southern country. The man got a black t-shirt, blue trousers with red stripe on the side. He wears slippers. He holds a green seal under one arm. This donkey is loaded like a mule. He got two big bags on either side of his back. This gives us the impression that the entire load may fall at one time or
