A history of America Now I'm watching a series of documantary programmes about a history of immigration in the USA. One of the programmes shades the light on the immigration of Latinos in America. It's a well-known fact that Cuba was under the colonial rule of Spain in the 19th century, but Americans invested millions of dollars into tobacco and shugar on Cuba. When Spanish soldiers sent Cuban rebels to concentration camps to hold the power, the government of the USA used it as a pretext to invade Cuba. They called it "liberation". As an American military ship with 200 hundred sailors on board was destroyed in Havana, the USA declared war on Spain. They fought against Spaniards in the Philippines and on Cuba. At the end of the Spanish-American war they left the island (Cuba) to the local authorities, but they promised to intervene if there was a threat to its independence. The last gave them the right to intervene the affairs of Cuba. So factually Cuba became the vassal of US.

Urgent! Could you help me to correct this text? I have called a series of my works 'human-books'. I am convinced that every person presents a book with its specific content. We read through some of books and put them back on the shelves till the best time (or 'then keep them in cold storage'?). We read the other ones for the whole life going back on and on to the most precious passages. And only few books become a part of us: we take them with us wherever we go and search for advise and support in their lines.(or just in them?). I made photos of the students who study in my university. I am sure that an univeristy is a place where young people find their calling in life and where their personality gets shaped. I chose this category of people because I wanted to catch the very moment when a person starts writting their own book adding a new chapter into it every day. I wanted to create (draw?) out of ordinary portraits and show the individuality of every student by reflecting their inner world, worries and interests in my photos. Having seen my works you must have noticed that they are black and white with some vintage effect. However ,there are some colourful items which are located on the books. That wasn't made by accident. By putting them in colour I wanted to show that due to these items symbolising their hobbies, interests and characters their "books" are full of meaning and purpose. We don't have to become a writer to create interesting books about our lives. Thanl you for any help

Can I use the pronoun 'he'in this faire tale? May I use the animate pronoun 'he' instead of 'it' in this fairy tale? It happened at the time when a tortoise had a wife. The wife couldn't give birth to a son for a long time. That upset them too much. One day the tortoise was sitting and found an announcement (story?) of the teacher who lived in the town close to their one. He (It?) packed his (its?) things and went to the town alone to meet with the teacher. When he arrived there, he took out everything that he had with himself and told the teacher about his (its?) problem. Then before giving a medecine the teacher demanded five shilings, one cock and a bottle of palm oil. The teacher also warned that he shouldn't eat the medecine he'd given him when he would be at home. But when the tortoise was on his way home, he opened the bowl with the medicine and scooped out a bit of it. He found the medicine very tasty and ate it up immediately leaving nothing to his wifeThen the tortoise got pregnant. His belly was getting bigger and bigger month by month.
