Getting to know your island


 This one sources from Britannica told me some interesting things about Grenada. One of those things that I read from it was that it was one of those countries that was being conquered by other countries like Brittan and the french and had to fight to gain its independence from then till the year 1974. It also told me how the population is there and that on the island it is majority African, mixed, east Indian. Britannica also states that the island heavily relies on financial support from the United Kingdom and other countries. One interesting thing that I found out about the island is that the countries government heavily encourages tourists to come to the country when it comes to things like trading and services and manufactures. The kind of topics that interest me the most is the kind of cultures the island has and how the country gained it's independence. There's more that I would like to know about the island and how things are today when it comes to the island culturally.

  Parker, Franklin D., Orozco, Manuel S., Walker, Thomas W., Arguello, Rosendo and Nietschmann, Bernard. "Nicaragua." Encyclopedia Britannica, Invalid Date, https://www.britannica.com/place/Nicaragua. Accessed 9 March 2021.   The next country that I was interested in was a country named Nicaragua. I don’t very much about this country, but I am curious to know how things are when it comes to culture, food, and cost of living. Orozco states that, the Country Nicaragua is in the Caribbean Sea and is the largest Central American republics. Orozco insists that, the country was colonized by the Spanish and the British. The country population is much bigger than I expected, and it surprised me to learn that it's still recovering from the dictatorship (Parker, ). The country is not as diverse with most people there are Spanish/Indian, 2nd white, 3rd black (Parker, ethnic groups). Most of the population speaks Spanish though there used to be Indian languages, but they dis...

     From how things have been recently no I don’t think my blog meets all the rubric criteria. The areas where It needs some work is how I introduce the topic or how I end it. The introductions and conclusions are where I mainly struggle at. I guess the aspects of the blogs are from the researching aspect of the assignment. When I comes to my efforts with this class I am butting some effort but it’s not enough effort to do or to finish them. I usually go back to see if there is any spelling errors and grammar most of the time especially if it’s a big grade. I feel a little uncomfortable with others reading my blog because it’s not only something I’m not used to but, I also am not the best when it comes to writing so when others look at them, I don’t feel OK it’s hard to explain. That’s a good question, I guess we could discuss on is how to introduce and how to make your blog interesting to read and to look at. What I learned from doing blogs is what you can learn from ot...
