Northern California includes San Francisco, surrounded by water on three sides with beautiful bridges and streets filled with tourists. Southern California includes Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Disneyland, known for its deserts and snowcapped mountains where one can ski and surf in the same day.

The immigrant by neil sedaka godfroit
The document analyzes the lyrics of a song about immigration to America. It describes how in the beginning, America welcomed immigrants with promises of opportunity, liberty, and open land. The lyrics portray immigrants arriving full of hope, hearing music and finding sweetness. However, the later verses describe how the immigrant realizes America has closed its doors and there is no longer room or promises for newcomers. The analysis concludes the song is about immigrants who leave their home country in search of a better life, hearing of the magical land of America, but ultimately fail to find success because the promises were empty.

Apes and their trainers in a Chicago house surprised when one ape died, so the trainers took the apes to Key Largo. A lucky man from Kentucky had a swift horse and never missed with his gun despite mucky boots and pants. A boy worried about washing the grime from his hair.
