Blog Education ?

Blogging was definitely something new in my learning experience. Its way better then writing on a piece of paper. That fact that I cant lose my paper is good. I can use something that im so comfortable with instead of pen and paper. Also, we can put almost all our thoughts into our blogs and other people can see it. With pen and paper we're kind of boring but when we type we have the whole world under our finger types plus we're in the comfort of our homes. When typing blogs to me just feels like im not doing homework whats so ever.

Favs

Well my favorite blog topic was the one of the very first ones. Does History matter? That was my favorite topic because where would we be if everything in history was never shared. Or if the people never keep records on the events that happened then most of the world's history no one would know what occured in the previous years. The world would be in a dark void of not knowing what happened in the past. That topic got me thinking where the world would be ?

Welcome to Ellis Island

The people coming to the U.S wanted to escape or just move away from the problems that they had in their country. They thought the U.S was the ideal place to come to just because the stories they heard from someone. Looking at the pictures they seem packed into small places and crowded. Also from the looks of it they waited for all the paper work to be finished so they can settle down. They U.S allowed all the people to enter but they got to witness the true United States.

Rocky Raccoon

The Beattles described the west as a rocky mining hill in Dakota. Continuing a formal saloon where cowboys would stay and rest after working in the mines. Also, that they would carry around  a gun with them most of the time.The showdown between Rocky and Dan was a gun fight in which Rocky got shot. The doctor was there for some aid. Their piece is semi accurate because the fact the Doc smelt like gin gave a stereotype feel and the hoedown is not really correct. Plus, the saloon was right along with the mining hills in Dakota. Overall the song was great.
