Assignment 5c

Who is your classmate, what is the component category, what is the name of the choice?
EXAMPLE classmate Liz, component a My California authors blank blank blank2.
The classmate I choose is Nicolette Martin, Component A group 2. She read Ode to Caltrans by Hector Tobar, Montalvo, Myths and Dreams of Home by Thomas Steinbeck, The Last Little Beach Town by Edward Humes, and Surfacing by Matt Warshaw.



What is something this classmate said about the choice that relates to any of the assignments in projects 2-3?
The Last Little Beach Town by Edward Humes reminded me of Assignment 3 "Beaches". The Author writes about Seal Beach and all the beauties with in this wonderful beach. He is very grateful that it is not invaded with corporate buildings and commercialized businesses. In assignment 3 we had to compare and contrast the different beaches Seal beach and Bodega bay. In researching each beach I found many wonderful things about each beach.


3. What is something different this classmate said about their choice that you did not realize before when you completed projects 2-3?
I didn't realized how each of these beaches are very peaceful and haven't yet been invaded by the big businesses. I am a little shocked I didn't realize this before writing assignment 3 because I feel it is such an important and beautiful thing.




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 find this writing technique to be very helpful to me. Through reading each of Nicolette summaries it helped me form new ideas and opinions on each of the summaries. Once I read Nicolette's opinions and new understandings, It helped me realize things I might have overlooked and triggered new thoughts about each subject.


5. How has project 2-3 helped you with the readings of the textbook?
Project 2 and 3 helped me get a better understanding on each of the readings from the book because it provided background information on certain topics, it helped me relate and understand a more in depth look at each of these places, cities, etc.
