San Diego relates to Humanties because it is a place that has alot of culture from the cities history. It is a place where contains alot of Visual Arts, music, drama culture. There are also all kind of enthnicites and all origins of people that visit or live in this place.

4)Contains the following "analytical elements":


A)Observation: What did you choose? What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made? What is the subject of the work? If you chose a 'thing' what is the work made of and what techniques (colors, lines, shapes, textures)does the creator use? Be specific in your description. If you chose a place, be specific in your description of what you see or hear. Talk to your reader as though they cannot see the item but somehow must draw a painting of what you see or hear. 1 point


I chose the City of San Diego for many reasons. One reason is because i wanted to know about more about the history and the past events that have made the great place it is today. Second reason is because San Diego is one the cities i am possibly thinking on moving to after this semester. I definitley want to know as much about the place before i make the decision. The last time i visited, i had the best time a person could have on their vacation. The Beaches are something is something that cannot be explained. It is a one of kind place to go to. Downtown there is always something new to see or place to go to enjoy yourself with friends during the weekend. When you are in San diego, during the day you see nothing but blue sky and yellow sun when you look up.

B)Interpretation: What is your choice about? Give specific examples to support this statement in 2 sentences; do so in a way that teaches us something about your choice. Make Paulo Freire proud! .75 point

More choice was about the wrting about a place that is different from where i grew up at which is pretty much two cities which are Sonoma and Santa Rosa. The few times that i went to Southern california was definitely an adventure. Everytime i went i learned something new about other cultures and experience another part of California.

c)Judgment: What led you to your choice? What do you think or feel about this choice? Why do you feel this way? Support your thoughts with specific observations. .5 point

Since before last year, i have not been to alot of places in the southern part of california. the two places that stood out where LA and San diego because they were places that were completely different from where a grew up and my lifestyle that lived since i could remembered. The reason i probably feel this way about San diego is because its something different than Northern Calfornia. To be honest, i think i have been living in the Bay area for long time and at this stage of life i am in need of new place to live and place to learn more about.

D)Questioning: What else would you like to know about this choice? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. Example: I learned that John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath was based on his personal experience working with farm workers. I would like to know if the characters he used in that book are fictitious or are they people he met? .5 point

I would like to know more why it is very warm down there. Why is the temperature pretty much perfect 85% of the time all year long? Is it possible to live in san diego and be able to have every season come out normal during the year because of the all the warm temperature?

5. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) . .5 point

I choose Morgan's blog, i learned that we both taking this class because of GE Requirement to get in to university. We also do have in common is that we like to visit and travel the world and reading about other students experiences. It is related because we are learning about other peoples culturals and experiences in everyday life events in the past.
