Blog 10

My overall experience with the blog was shaky in the beginning, because like everyone, i was confused about the assignment, however once Dr. Smith cleared everything up for me, i was comfortable with my purpose in the blog. The blog gave me a reason to change, a change for the best... because this change will last a lifetime. Checking my fellow classmates blogs was cool as well, because you get a chance to see how your peers are changing as well. i took the assignment a step futher and challenged my family with the same thing that my class and i was doing... and everything worked out for the best, yes we came across some challenges, but we faught threw them. I am very appreciative of this class, and what it has allow me to accomplish.

Blog 9

We are now coming close to the end of the semester and i feel as if i have been very effective in the blog and in the way ive changed my habits.. i have also influenced my family to change some of their bad habits as well.. in my personal opinion i think that the blog was a great idea for the class, and the options were terriffic because they were both very interesting topics in which the class can also learn from. Most of the students in the class are in our late teens, early twenties.. soo changing bad habits, so early is very effective and will have a good impact on the environment and on the type of person we will be in our more mature years to come.

Museum of Natural History

The trip to the museum was very intresting..because I havent been to one since i was like 12...however it was a great learning experience. Although it was tiring it was very fun. I did have pics but my wack phone wont allow me to email them.



The Exhibit that my group(Tianna and myself) decided to focus on was the "African Peoples."

We chose to do "African Peoples", because we felt connected to the exhibit in a way. When we entered the exhibit everything was so powerful from the colors, costumes and figures that were shown in the installations.



The installation that struck me the most was "Pokot Women." This installation focused on the Pokot women in Africa and their lifestyle.



Logos: During puberty the pokot women undergo a clitoridectomy in public to show there strength and there new found status as women.

Ethos: There were several items shown in the installation. many which represents their culture. There was sets of clothing and beads, these sets represented the different age group of the women. Every stage wore different things to separate them from each other. The knife that was used in there public show was also present.

Pathos: After reading and viewing this installation I did in someway feel sympathetic, but thats the way of life that they have to live and that they are accustomed too
