It was the first day of school. I was extremely nervous for my first day at the high school. I didn’t know my way around and was afraid I was going to get lost and be late to all of my classes. I walked into the building next to my older sister Morgan. People were crowding the commons and I didn’t know where any of my friends were. My sister turned to me as asked me where my advisory was, as that was the first class we were going to that day. I tell her the classroom number and she led me to the
previous experience, “trinkets” or “treasures” oft found in gift shops have little or no historical or artistic value.

subject in the tourism industry. Souvenirs are seen as universal elements of traveling (Swanson, 2012) and are looked upon as objects tourists can bring back home to remind them of their activities during their holiday, trying to make an intangible experience tangible through the purchasing of these artifacts (Litrell, 1993). Furthermore, souvenirs represent the notion of trying to prolong the travel experience (Swanson, 2004). The phenomena of collecting souvenirs while being away from home is rather
As a child, I was fascinated with personalized souvenir stands. There were so many names; I was determined to find mine. I would scour the rows of license plates and mugs in each store to no avail. I came to the realization that with a name like Malena, I would not find a custom keepsake. That, however, does not bother me anymore. I know now that having an uncommon name is a souvenir in itself. Based on the people I share my name with, the expected personality traits, and the meaning of my name,

Wilkins (2009) -Tourism has been described as a sacred journey (Graburn 1989), with there being a need for people to bring back mementos and souvenirs of the “sacred, extraordinary time or space” (Gordon, 1986 page 136), not only to aid recollection of the experience, but also to prove it (Gordon 1986; Swanson 2004; Littrell et al. 1994). The gathering of souvenirs makes an experience tangible, either for consumption by others or as a means of prolonging the experience for one’s own consumption (Gordon
transformation was initiated with the intention of seeking a way around the challenging conditions of bagan fishing. The opportunity to have a much lighter job and easy money has become the main attraction for these fishermen to shift their livelihood to the souvenir business. Although this transformation enabled local people to generate sufficient income, it is premature to conclude that tourism is an appropriate strategy to provide sustainable livelihoods for local communities.

Courtly Love and Rondeau Form Both Adieu m'amour, adieu ma joye by Dufay and Le souvenir de vous me tue by Morton are the songs of the courtly love and, they are composed in the rondeau form. From one point of view, the form of the music, rondeau, may be too specific in terms of the melody order to express the poem of the courtly love which is about a man's feelings of distant love. However, in these two specific songs, Dufay and Morton used their clever criativities to let the repetition of
and going on a summer vacation with them is very important to me. My family means everything to me, and I wouldn't be able to achieve my dreams without their support. Lastly, I would love to own the Imago Mundi Babylonian map and display it in my souvenir room, along with "The Swing," a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard from the 18th century. Out of everything in my "American Dream," the things I would like to accomplish the most are visiting the seven wonders of the world and the natural world, traveling

The problem was that Amy saw this view a million times, see Amy lives in a shack nearby the beach. This seems to be like a backyard of a standard house, in Amy’s eyes. Luckily, this day was no ordinary day for Amy. The day started off typical, until the winds were high. Amy’s brown hair flew through her face, the waves extended.

The Fallen Cloud It happened again. The Cloud descended from the sky. Its large and luminescent shape sat at the end of my street. This year, it chose to visit Mr. Eaton’s house. The retired cop sits on his porch, reading a novel and is completely oblivious to the ethereal visitor in his driveway. Only his old weathered beagle barks fiercely at the anomaly. It runs back and forth, with frantic gestures. Nobody else seems to mind the strange entity. My hand reaches for the wet newspaper at the
Being a Manager in a Souvenirs’ Store vs being a Manager in a Lindt & Sprungli Store Some shoppers at the mall think that the life of the managers of a local souvenirs’ stores is easier that the life of the managers of big corporations like the Lindt and Sprungli Company.
