Deserts Book Report

I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.

Personally, I did not enjoy the book. It didn't get all that interesting until the last couple of chapters. Before that, it spewed facts in my face and lacked an intriguing plot. I learned a lot from this book, but You would be better off reading a science journal, magazine, or website. Otherwise, it was an okay book.

On Sunday June 28th, 2015 I had the pleasure of viewing Other Desert Cities by playwright Jon Robin Baitz. The play was put on by Performance Network Theatre in Ann Arbor, Michigan directed by David Wolber. I saw this play because I remembered performing in the space before with Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit and I had never heard of Other Desert Cities before. Other Desert Cities was an amazing play to watch. This well directed drama will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire performance.

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

The humanizing aspect of the book is what I enjoyed most about the book, because while I love learning about science, colorless scientific histories are rather difficult to read.

The Mojave Desert a place of wildfires, non native plants, and native plants, a natural habitat for many living organisms, that feed and protect. The Mojave Desert is located in parts of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. Recurring wildfires are damaging the native plants which are then replaced with dangerous, non-native plant species that become uncontrolled. Air pollution and invasive species in the desert makes it hard for organisms found in the surrounding area to survive, with increasing numbers of wildfires and non native plants killing them.

Time of arrival at the Desert Vista Trailhead is 7:29 AM, the class began to hike the trail at approximately 7:45 AM. The weather was cloudy with little sunlight, no precipitation, wind was blowing at around 3 mph, temperature at the lowest was 54 F and highest at 61 F. The trail consist of desert habitats, with rocky and rugged mountain terrain, vegetation is patchy and spread out. We traveled as a class, led by our instructor, Kim Quaranta, on the Desert Vista Trailhead for approximately 0.5 miles, making the entire trip approximately 1.0 mile. The purpose of the trip was to observe the wildlife at the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve, including plants, mammals, and insects. We finished the hike at 9:18 AM and the class was dismissed at around

The cultural group that I am researching is the Yaqui (Sonoran Desert, U.S. and Mexico). The topic I have chosen to research is the different rituals the Yaqui perform. The reason I chose to research the Yaqui is because they’re indigenous to the same region as I am. The Yaqui, “people of Sonora [Mexico] settled along the Yaqui river… many Yaqui emigrated to Arizona to escape subjugation” (“Yaqui.” Columbia 2016). Growing up I never realized how much history took place in Southern Arizona, so it’s interesting to be able to learn about the people who made Arizona the state it is today. It’s very important for me to learn about the Yaqui, since the Pascua Yaqui tribe is based right here in Tucson, Arizona. Knowing the history of your state, country, culture, etc. is important so that you understand the present times and how the future could be formed. As for choosing to research the rituals of the Yaqui, I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn about the different rituals that take place in their everyday lives and how these ceremonies differ from events that take place in my own life.

I did not like this book because it showed that slaves had it all bad when that's not true it was a lot of suffering but there was still good things like the old spirituals that helped the slaves keep there sanity.

In A Sand Country Almanac by, Aldo Leopold, he talks about the sky, and the horizon but also explaining how a “new day has begun”. He talks about the ice age and the history explaining the change of our generations. He expresses how beautiful nature is, and the need to preserve it, for example, there are no words to describe the beauty of nature. Due to a glacier, one fell and crushed a valley that had soon slowly started filling with water; this is explaining the change that had occurred from long ago to how it is now. In Land Ethic it talks about evolution and how it was studied.

I think personally that this book was amazing, even though if you asked me before I read this book I would have said I won't like it because I like animal books better. Though I didn't want to admit but my parents say I am a lot like Milo, because I am bored when I don't have my game or phone or tv so I guess I kinda relate with him. Even though my case is not as serious as Milo's but I do think this book has helped me like it did Milo. As I read this book for about 3 chapters in I realized I found myself laughing and smiling and not wanting to stop and put this book down, like I normally would. I loved this book so much I could read this book a thousand times and still wouldn't get bored

The following lines are from Dan Buettner’s book, Thrive, the author has made his way to Mexico (rated the sixth happiest country) and is painting a vision of the desert landscape in order for the reader to get a sense of the environment.

College of the Desert Professor expectations about work quality will be similar to my previous school’s writing environment. The first similarly is editing. In COD each essay need minimum two daft and with MLA format. The second similarly is complete work. For my previous high school, the assignment I have to turn in must be complete. No late work will be accepted. For example, if my work is not fully completed college professor will not grade my paper. In the same way, my high school teachers will gave back the assignment that I do not fully completed, but the only difference is I can turn in the next day and get a full grade if the assignment is completed. Base on my experience; do not be stressful in work quality because it will be very
