Charlotte Doyle Reflection Feedback

          Over all I thought are project on the board game went well. The group collaborated and understood each other. The board game turned out good in my opinion, but there were some little bumps along the way and little mistakes. Some people forgot materials and that delayed us. Also sometimes some pieces of the game would fall, the boxes would tumble over and the paint would splatter on the desk, we had to clean it up, it was a delay.
       
           Like I just said there were mistakes but mot of the project went smoothly, I like how are board turned out all painted and that we had a chest. I thought our board was planned out and executed pretty well.
     
          The board game was fun to make , even though it took time and effort it was still fun.Sometimes we rushed ourselves a little because we were running out of time. We definitely could have added more details and color but then again the issue of time.I thought that our board and our cover wasn't that good it was a bit plain.
   
  Our money format was kind of bad actually, I thought it would have looked better with money like the money in monopoly. It came out in little tiny strips which delayed us because we had to cut them out but it could have looked better.

How do you define yourself?

I define myself as an individual because I may be similar to another person and have the same hair color, feelings, emotions but I'm an individual, I think that every human is at least a little bit different then one another, therefore, all of us are individuals. As for my own character traits I think at times I may be funny, nice, and maybe giving.

How has your opinion on Charlotte changed throughout the course of the book?

My opinion of  Charlotte was that she was a fancy well dressed and very proper young lady. Throughout the book she started to develop and cane her moods and feelings towards things. She became adapted to ship life, so she decided to be part of the crew. I was very surprised when she said she wanted to join, later in the book she began to feel a sensation of love and respect for her fellow crew members and when they got at there destination she ran away from home. She went from very proper to a ship mate.

Landfill vs Incineration

              Which is better, landfills or incineration? I have been wondering about this question. Incineration and landfills both have pros and cons. How is incineration good? Well incineration turns the trash to ashes, therefore they burn the trash.Incineration woks by having the trash dumped in a trash bunker, which is a pro, then they burn it, this can be good and bad, good because the trash goes away but at the same time it is also bad because as it burns the trash it creates air pollution. incineration can be done quickly and the trash and waste is disposed of easily. Incineration has some cons too, as I have mentioned before it causes pollution by burning the trash it causes pollution. It also can cause pollution in the building of it, they have to put so much effort and it takes such a long time just to build something that burns trash. It also takes up lots of land.

            Meanwhile landfills also have pros and cons, one pro is that when the trash is compacted it creates a sort of gas which can be used to create energy, but at the other hand it also can create pollution which is a con. Another pro is that it does not take a lot of space.Also it can be buried and on top  of the landfill  can be a natural park, which is another pro! There are so cons, it takes a long time to build, and it uses lots of trucks which causes air pollution.
            I think that Landfills are better than Incineration because landfills cause less pollution and also take up  no space. En-top of the landfill can be a national park or a park and leisure place!

Tiete photo essay #3 Choice

This Picture was taken in one of our last stops. This was in Salto, the water here is not particularly clean but it's not filthy, like in Sao Paulo. This is the grand waterfall in Salto. The waterfall gets all the water churned up and it hits the other water with such impact that this actually creates a little oxygen. The waterfall is very important because of the oxygen it is producing. However I also saw lots of trash and garbage on the sides of the river, land pollution. This used to be all forest but now the people have created it into not such a forest-like area.There is a bridge crossing to the other side. There are lots of rocks, it reminds me of the river rapids, when we are going on a trip to the water park. The river has a nice ocean, and salt like smell.

Tiete Photo Essay #2 Historical

This picture was taken at our arrival. This was the first stop we made, it was in Santana do Parnaiba. We had just started walking when when saw this monument. This is a historical monument in honor of the Bandeirantes, who setteled here and founded it. The River Tiete is very important for them, they made boats carved out of a single log and sailed across the river. In those ages there where no pollution, no cars speeding by and no waste being dumped. They built this monument as remark, that the bandeirantes had settled there.

Tiete picture essay Environmental #1

This Picture was taken in Barra Bonita. I could not believe this was the same river. I was so surprised that this was the same River Tiete. This picture includes the sides of the river, as you can see they are sloshy plants growing on the waters surface. There used to be a huge forest "hiding" the river, now people have cut it down to start plantations, such as the sugar cane and corn fields.The water here is pretty clean, animal and plant life can thrive in it. There is still pollution though. I saw a bottle in the water (not included in this photo). The river here is a nice sight to see. There are no huge industrial factories by the banks of this part of the river, meanwhile in other places there are a lot of pollution, both air and land.
