Assignment 4B

1)As for someone who did the same reading group as myself, I started to read Megan K Mullen's blog from last week, and i realized how similar our views were. We got a lot of them same ideas from the readings. One of the main differences that i noticed, was that the only thing that we greatly differed on was at the last section, where we had to share what we had learned.

2) One person that wasn't in my group was Jennifer Sylvester, and i chose to read her blog.
She read the authors Dumas, Major, Chabon, Kamen Goldmark.
After reading the summaries of the stories I learned the following about the following authors

Dumas: I learned that there are actually rules that go along with a home owners association. Also that if you break the rules a hefty fine is mandatory. also, just because you can afford to live in a nice neighbor hood, doesn't mean you will like it.

Major: I learned that kids value their summer vacation A Lot more than I thought they did.

Chabon: I learned that Berkley is proud to be its self, and different than the rest.

Kamen: I actually read this essay before. It is wonderful. Its main point is that there are NO RULES when it comes to music, and self expression.

3) Another person that i learned from that was in the third unique group was Frank Dragun.
He read the authors Arax, Liu, Jefferson Parker, Mackey
After reading the summaries of the stories I learned the following about the following authors

Arax: I Learned that Tulare, California, was home to the biggest farm equipment show in the world.

Liu: I wasn't aware that poverty, and homelessness was such a problem in Beverly Hills. This was astonishing to me.

Jefferson Parker: ?Kind of confusing?

Mackey: I learned about the gigantic Russian population in Yolo county, and the surrounding areas, and I wasn't aware of that.
