Assignment 8

I'm a 21 year young man named Andy from Omaha, Nebraska. Yeehaw. Since there isn't a whole lot to do in Nebraska I've started to go on a road trip from time to time. This time I set off to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see a part of the famous route 66. Whilst it isn't the longest trip I've made, a little over 600 km is still a long trip. To get myself psyched up for the road trip I put Born in the U.S.A by the Boss on repeat. Most people I've met tend to get bored of a song rather fast if they listen to it too much but I will never get bored of Bruce. I did decide to listen to other songs along with the good ol' classic since I didn't want my voice to wear down before I got home. I did end up being in the car for eleven hours for this trip after all. The music included stuff like AC/DC, Metallica and some others. After two and half hours or so I took my only pit stop at Topeka, Kansas. When I was planning the trip and looked for things to do in Topeka the first thing I saw was all that I needed. It was an Evel Knievel museum. Like most reviews said it was a very fun museum with a lot to see. That only would've probably made this a decent trip but I still had more to come. When I made it to Tulsa it started to be quite late and my throat ended being sore from too much Springsteen so I decided to go to stay at my hotel room for the night instead of making the whole trip in one go as I had planned. The hotel room wasn't anything special since it was supposed to be a place to sleep and leave so I just went to the cheapest one. It could've end up being the better choice but unfortunately there wasn't much to do in Tulsa. I checked out the route 66 and drove back home. Even though I've had better road trips every single one of them is worth it. All because of the Boss. BORN IN THE U.S.A!

Recipe for a nice assigned text Ingredients Observations, the more the better Love, whole lotta Whatever you're given Preparation 1. Since you can't predict what the assigned text will be about there is nothing to prepare for the actual dish. However you should prepare the cooking utensils by giving your brain a fair amount of rest and nutrition. 2.When you get told about the dish you're making and the ingredients you'll get, you should try and see what ingredients would make a nice combination. There should be about 6-8 parts in your dish including how you will start the text and end it. One certain ingredient is observation as a spice. You should put a very fair amount on every individual part of the dish. As much as you can find really as long as it's relevant. 3. After that you should work on making the parts fit as a singular entity and make sure the taste and grammar is good. 4. The final touch is to give it an appropriate name to represent the idea

The former translation is more of a literal translation word for word whilst the latter is translating the song into a similar Finnish song. On the literal translation it gives the words of the original, reads like a translation, possesses the style of the translation, reads as a contemporary of the translation, never adds to or omits from the original and it's written in prose. On the more liberal translation it gives the ideas of the original, reads like an original work, reflects the style of the original, is read as a contemporary of the original, adds to or omits from the original and is written in verse. Ellinoora - Elephant's weight Back then you thought that this is the end But it wasn't your time to become a part of the stream The day unfolded but it stuck in the back of the head Nor did we speak ever of it again Lions don't have tear channels When even weaknesses are strengths I don't even dare to ask Hey what is it but I notice from your eyes
