11-24-14
Today in Human Geo, we weren't in the classroom. Instead we went to the TV room and tried to finish the movie we started about the Slums. I really enjoyed the movie even though we haven't quite finished it yet.

Cultural Differences
Our culture and the people in the slums are completely different. They are treated horribly in the slums while were treated greatly. Even our poor people have it better than the people in the slums. The police, rather than protect them, chase after them and try to kill them. They're not very educated, and the teachers are very abusive.

Nothing
Today in human geo, we were supposed to do the spottily projects, which I already had done. So, I didn't have to do anything.

US National Anthem
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Quiz 3
Today in Human Geo, we took another quiz. I think I did ok on it, but nowhere close to perfect. I thought the essay part was the part I did the best on. I believe the question was somewhere along the lines of why it was unacceptable in our democracy to assassinate the president of the United States. Overall I think the quiz was ok.
