L1 sets the (wild) scene while Ls 2&3 remind me of one of thematic themes explored in Sigmund Freud's most influential work, Civilization and Its Discontents: "the important clash between the desire for individuality and the expectations of society."
ReplyDeleteNote: "A tiki bar is an exotic-themed drinking establishment that serves elaborate cocktails, especially rum-based mixed drinks such as the mai tai and zombie cocktail. Tiki bars are aesthetically defined by their tiki culture décor which is based upon a romanticized conception of tropical cultures, most commonly Polynesian."
