To the south and southeast of China are the Himalaya Mountains. These are the highest mountains in the world. Because of their impassability the area of China was kept isolated from many other civilizations.  The two of the world’s largest deserts are in the are of Ancient China. To the north and west of Ancient China were the Gobi Desert and the

The story is set in a remote community named Wirrawee in a 21 century context. This is stated through out the book. “Lee lived in town, like Fi. "Lee and Fi, from Wirrawee" we used to sing.”(Ch 1. P15) This Town is rural and right next to a formidable mountain range. The author describes the town and its surroundings with in the book with: “Way in the distance you got glimpses of the rich farmland of the Wirrawee district, dotted with houses and clumps of trees, the lazy Wirrawee river curving slowly through it. And on the other side was Hell” (Ch 2. P19) Wirrawee is a country town with many farms surrounding it. It is a small tight night community who live directly next to a large mountain range which is quite mysterious and majestic. The

Harlem, New York in the Twenties was a place where colored people had migrated to show their talents. It was a time when African American Artist, Writers, Dancers, Musicians, and Doctors decided to show the world how spectacular they were. Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Langston Hughes were just a few famous names that arrived during this time. One sensational woman stood out among the rest, her name was Josephine Baker. She took a stand and fought for what she believed in, she was a strong and passionate women and she never let anyone get in the way of the things she loved to do. No matter how risqué or dangerous it may have been.

The issue with the re-developing of New Orleans is an area that has been debated between governors, investors, urban planners, residents and other professionals since hurricane Katrina, the costliest “natural” disaster in 2005. This wonderful place, is a Louisiana city near the Gulf of Mexico. Its strategic position, becomes the exit of the great Mississippi-Missouri river system, which drains the interior North of America. New Orleans is one of the lowest spots in the United States, it is already as much as 17 feet below sea level in some places, and it continues to sink more than an inch a year. Re-developing New Orleans will be a difficult aspect because of its location, topography and weather conditions. However, New Orleans is one of the most culturally rich urban

Oakland, California. A place where people call it home or a war zone. In the case of many teenagers, Oakland was their destruction. Based on my reading, The Labeling Theory will best suit with this book simply because many teens from this volume were said to be someone they weren’t. In case you don’t know about this theory, the focus of it is not on the behavior of a person but on how others view that behavior or the person itself. According to the book “Punished: Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys”, all the teens experienced being misread as horrific people based on their shade of skin color. In the book, Victor Rios declared how “[the] system had such an extensive influence on the lives of the boys that many of them were

The neighborhood that I decided to discuss is the South Bronx. I was born and raised in different parts of the South Bronx. I choice this neighborhood because it is such a rich melting pot of Hispanic and African Americans. The South Bronx has suffered from high poverty, unemployment, and violence throughout history. Through the dark pass, the South Bronx has slowly transport itself. South Bronx, has plan many community programs to help high-risk children. Local gardens around the neighborhood help the community with fresh fruits and vegetables. Police officers make more rounds around the neighborhood to provide safely.

The film ends with two words, our land. What does “our land” mean? Why Broken Sword showed these two words to Nameless? Why Nameless decided to not kill King of Qin because of these two words? How this two word connects to Chinese culture?

Now I’ll tell you about the geography of China. On the east of China there are two bodies of water, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Then in the Southeast corner of China there is the South China Sea. In the Southwest corner is India. Sharing with India on its borders there is the Himalaya Mt. and within them is Mt. Everest which is one of the biggest mountains in the world. Coming from the east, the Yangzi River flows in and stops right around the center of China. Above it is the Huang He River that flows on the same direction the Yangzi River does. The top center of China is the Gobi Desert. There are many more geography than this but here are just some that I chose to talk about.

Physical geography has shaped China’s history through major rivers allowing new transportation, mountains dividing culture, along with plateaus creating sustainable farm land. Rivers have been a key characteristic of the development of Chinese civilization. A major river in China, the Yellow River has been able to support a major transportation and shipping artery throughout the country. This has allowed for the bringing of materials and people to new locations. Mountains have been able to separate different ethnic groups and tribes which have created different religions and rituals in China. This has led to the formation of new traditions and differences based on location. The Loess Plateau is a major geographical feature in China which has

The most exciting city in development during the nineteenth century and the opening of the twentieth, San Francisco overcame a variety of conflicts throughout the years of construction. This time period marked a transition stage in the development of San Francisco, evolving a important time of the “Frontier Town” to a “Civilized Metropolis,” where the rise of San Franciscan identity retained qualities from both sides of these areas. Chinatown, existed as a city within a new developed city, shared a bond of extremes with San Francisco. Tourists who were visiting San Francisco, Chinatown was a necessary place to stop by. The writings in brochures were published during this period-described Chinatown through a mix of multi-mixed Chinese and curiosity. In short, within the developing the city of San Francisco, an expedition into Chinatown remained a visual exploration of an increased and exciting environment.

What makes someone a New Yorker? In my honest opinion, I have not given this much thought as I have been born and raised in New York and never saw a distinct characteristic that exemplified a New Yorker. However, as I look back at my time during high school I do remember having an English teacher who was from Kentucky and had a southern accent. She was a very peppy person who always seemed to be jumping around and always seemed to be able to talk to faculties and parents with ease. It may have been that she was from Kentucky that made her approachable, easy-going, and a respectful person.
