?What could have happened before? Plenty of years before the actual Jack visited the hotel‚ someone had already been there. The funny thing is that it’s someone who looks like him. Anybody could swear it’s him. But how is it possible? More than 40 years had passed and the man in the picture (who looks like he’s in his mid-forties) was still alive and all‚ visiting the hotel (again)?

Racial Classification Black‚ white‚ orange‚ green or purple? What is the difference? The way I look at it is if everyone in the world was colorblind then we wouldn’t know if other people were different colors or not. "If we stop obsessing on race‚ people may actually become colorblind" (Blumner). Almost every battle in our history was started because of some sort of racial controversy. From the 1800’s to present day theses battles have occurred especially the one of September 11‚ 2001.
