Human Geo 11/7 - taking one for the class for our group project

Today I experienced something new - picking names for teams but the people don't know they're picked until everyone's team is sorted out. I was picked team captain. I had originally had David in my mind for first pick because he usually has good ideas, but I really didn't know who else I wanted. No one else picked Nick, so I did, he usually has decent arguments. I knew this was going to be a mess as soon as I started writing Nick. And then it really became a mess when I wrote Christo. Christo is in our group for a few reasons, one of them being that everyone wanted me to pick him since they didn't want him. I picked Sean just because uh Sean. Anyway, that was pretty fun. So our project is to pick a post-developed and a developing country with major problems to "fix." We must come up with things to help the country from a government perspective. We picked Japan for their birth rate problem and Somalia for their pirating problem. Somalia is going to be rough to figure out, their country is quite the disaster but I mean we're going to solve their problems right? Thank you Mr. Schick.

Western Civ 4/1 - Greek Theater

There were tragedies - a play where something tragic happens. There were comedies - a play where they usually made fun of common ideas (politics). The only movie I can think of that I recently watched is The Conjuring. I think this movie would be leaning more towards tragedy. The hero of the story would be the mother, who then is too focused on her children instead of herself and gets possessed by a spirit. It wasn't that she was full of pride she was just trying to care for her children. After the possession scene, however, she tries to tell one of the "demonologists" that she was okay, so that may have been a show of pride. She eventually gains her justice because there is an exorcism at the end and the spirit is driven out of her.   This is a theater in Greece. It seems to be pretty well preserved. It is outside and a circular shape and I'm pretty sure I've read before that it's shaped like that so it can project the voices.

Western Civ 6/1 - letter to my future self

I will try to make this as least corny as I can possibly make it, since this type of thing usually is a little corny. I hope you are alive and well, we would not want to die young. Currently, in 2020, there are quite a few things happening. We are in a global pandemic with the virus Covid-19, and there is rioting and looting across the U.S. due to the Black Lives Matter movement. Coronavirus has us out of school and doing online assignments, businesses have been closed for the past 2 months and are just now opening back up (the mall still isn’t open  ). Christiana mall in Delaware was supposed to open today (June 1, 2020) but now is delayed because they don’t want to get looted like another Delaware mall. I spent multiple hours last night watching the rioting, and from what I saw and what was broadcasted on the news this morning, the cops are the reason they become violent. It was the same pattern in nearly every city, people would be peacefully protesting, the cops would show up ...
