Hollywood is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California - situated west-northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy of American cinema, and is often interchangeably used to refer to the greater Los Angeles area in general. The nicknames StarStruck Town and Tinseltown refer to Hollywood and its movie industry. Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as the Westside neighborhood, but significant auxiliary industries, such as editing, effects, props, post-production and lighting companies remain in Hollywood, as does the backlot of Paramount Pictures.Many historic Hollywood theaters are used as venues and concert stages to premiere major theatrical releases and host the Academy Awards. It is a popular destination for nightlife, tourism, and is home to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Eight other holidays are uniquely American. For most Americans, two of these stand out above the others as occasions to cherish national origins: Thanksgiving Day and the 4th of July. Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, but many Americans take a day of vacation on the following Friday to make a four-day weekend, during which they may travel long distances to visit family and friends. The holiday dates back to 1621, the year after the Puritans arrived in Massachusetts, определено to practise their dissenting religion without interference. After a rough winter, in which about half of them died, they turned for help to neighbouring Indians, who taught them how to corn plant and other crops. The next fall's bountiful harvest inspired the Pilgrims to give thanks by holding a feast. The Thanksgiving feast became a national tradition - not only because so many other Americans have found prosperity but also because the Pilgrims’ sacrifices for their freedom still the captivate imagination.   To this day, Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, pumpkin pie. Before the meal begins, families or friends usually pause to give thanks for their blessings, including the joy of being united for the occasion.

  Восемь следующих праздников отмечаются только в Америке. Для большинства американцев два праздника особенно отличаются от других, как возможность почтить национальные истоки: День благодарения и 4 июля. День благодарения отмечается в четвертый четверг ноября, но многие американцы берут и следующий день - пятницу - выходным, чтобы получился 4-х дневный уикенд, во время которого они могли бы осуществить поездку на дальнее расстояние, чтобы посетить семьи и друзей. Праздник датируется 1621 годом, годом позже того, как пуритане высадились в штате Массачусетс, чтобы решать свои религиозные вопросы без вмешательства. После суровой зимы, в течение которой умерла половина из них, они обратились за к соседним племенам индейцев, которые научили их сажать зерно и другие культуры. Щедрый урожай следующей осенью вдохновил пилигримов отдать дань благодарности проведением праздника. Праздник в День благодарения стал национальной традицией не только потому, что многие американцы начали процветать, но также и потому, что жертва пилигримов ради свободы возбуждает воображение.    В День благодарения обед почти всегда включает еду, которую подавали на первом пиру: жареную индейку, клюквенный соус, картофель, тыквенный пирог. Прежде чем приступить к еде, семьи и друзья конечно делают паузу, чтобы отблагодарить в молитве, за радость быть вместе по этому поводу.
