4c INLAND AREAS COMPONENT, KENDRA & ALFREDO



1. Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?
Classmate Alfredo, inland areas component, Sacramento and San Jose

2. What is something similar this classmate said about the choice?
Alfredo and I both wrote about Sacramento as one of our inland area's for project 3, component c. We both chose to include information about Sacramento's climate in our post.

3. What is something different this classmate said about the choice?

Alfredo and I focused on different aspects of Sacramento. I focused on the fact that Sacramento has its own NBA team, The Kings, and that there are a few very popular CSU's and UC's in and around the city. Alfredo focused more on the history and activities of Sacramento and that it is the state capital.

4. How would you relate this to Freire's ideas regarding dialogue? For example, you went in thinking one idea, your classmate had a different idea. What new idea emerged from this process?

I think that I wrote about Sacramento from the prospective of a visitor or a non California native. I focused on obvious things about Sacramento, such as the fact that there is an NBA team, and the well known colleges in and around the city. For me, Alfredo's writing about Sacramento seemed as if it were written as a California native, with knowledge and facts about the city itself. He mentioned things in his blog about the crime in Sacramento and I find that interesting because I am a native of the state, yet when reading his post and mine, I feel like mine could be considered to be the view of a non-native.
