This week in history we learned about de facto and de jure segregation. De facto segregation is segregation by choice, meaning people are seperated because of social conditions such as poverty. De jure segregation is segregation by law, meaning that people are segregated by the governments orders. This week we were also given the study guide for the test and the test was on friday. I thought this test was relatively easy because I prepared really hard and learned all the terms really well by creating helpful flashcards.
\This week in English we have started to receive papers for our notebooks for the book we are starting called Into the Wild. I already saw the movie during environmental science, so I think this will be a pretty good book! In the movie, a seemingly normal, smart kid just graduating highschool leaves his life and ventures out into the wild alone. He travels all the way to Alaska where he sets up camp in an abandoned bus. Throughout his journey he has many new experiences and meets many interesting people he befriends.
A connection I could make between my two classes is that Chris McCandless from into the Wild was much like African Americans during the civil rights movement. African Americans did everything they could to acheive freedom and eventuall happiness. Chris Mccandless did everything he could to acheive freedom from his controlling parents and acheive happiness in the wild.
