Essay from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Freiburg (Englisches Seminar), course: Seminar Landeskunde: Key American Texts, language: English, abstract: In my 5 page critical essay I will initially give a brief definition or rather explanation of the term frontier and also show its delimitation from the commoner term border or the other entries in the dictionary having vaguely the same meaning. But I anticipate, there is no better alternative expression for it.
