No, I would not live in Africa because I would not understand their main languages and its very hot and it never snows there. I can't take it not snowing there because it will be too hot all year around for me.
ReplyDeleteThe facts I found interesting is that the lake Victoria is 26, 828 square miles and Africans eat almost everything we eat.

I would not want to live in Africa because I'm not that type of person that likes very humid heat. I like to be in 40 or 50 degree weather. The fact that I found very interesting to me was their literacy rate. Literacy is my favorite subject, but in Africa less than half the people know literacy.

If I had a choice to live in Africa I would not go. I would not live in Africa because I learned that Africa is a poor country. They also carry heavy things on their head and they also have to walk several miles for things like food and water. Then I would not want to live in Africa because they use animals poop to make houses. I would not want to live in a place like that. Wouldn't you agree?

LAKEERAH- I LOVE THE SNOW TOO!! I WOULD MISS WINTER BECAUSE I LOVE HAVING SNOWBALL FIGHTS!!
ReplyDeletePATRICK- I HOPE YOU APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU ARE GIVEN WITH YOUR EDUCATION BECAUSE THE CHILDREN IN AFRICA DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES YOU DO!!
CONSTANT- I'M GLAD YOU WROTE ABOUT THINGS YOU KNEW PRIOR US STUDYING AFRICA. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY MADE HOUSES OUT OF ANIMAL POOP. WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT FROM?

No, I would not want to live in Africa because people for shipped off to Egypt and they had to do everything for this one man. He ruled everyone and everyone was scared of him.
ReplyDeleteThe facts that I found interesting is when it states that they beat the Africans and stuffed then into ships. Also, when it says that many slaves escapes from their masters and fled north, but many were tortured, killed, and forced to work to death.

Yes, I would like to live in Africa because it sounds very fun and I would like to explore the wildlife and experience the great culture of Africa besides Egypt and Zimbabwe. Africa is a very exotic continent with incredible views and magnificent places. I would like to explore and take pictures. I would like to help the poor people out and make a better life for those who cannopt afford everything that I can.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that the Egyptian ruler was called a Pharaoh? Americans in the 18th century went to Africa on great ships to enslave Africans.

Yes, I would like to live in Africa so I can do different types to help give people a chance. I want to go down there today and see how they are living and help them do better for a chance. Africa today, is disease ridden in many places and there is much suffering. Many people are working very hard to help African children and adults have a better chance at life. Unfortunately, Africa as a whole is a rather poor place. Also, I want to help Africa help Africans become a better place.

No, I will not want to live in Africa. I will not want to live in Africa because back in the day you had to find your own food and coook it yourself. I will also not want to live in there because Africa is a very poor continent and many people need help to get money, clothes, and also food. In the text it states that Africa is a very poor country and people go there just to see the safari.
ReplyDeleteI think many people in Africa needs help to get many things. If I was in Africa I will try my best and get food for my children. That is why I will not want to live in Africa.

Yes, I would want to live there because Africa is considered to be a very exotic continent. It is also something very interesting to learn about. Plus, I know you think it is a poor place but many African lead lives much like you or I do.
ReplyDeleteMy interesting fact that I found was the history of Africa and that was the Egyptians got most of their water and fertile land from the Nile River. Did you have an interesting fact about Africa?

I will love to live in Africa because I can see the culture of Africa and I can see the amazing history of Africa. I will love to live in Africa because is wildlife, desert, and ancient ruins. It remains a great place to visit and learn about. Many people go there to go on the safaris, learn about Africa culture, or just to see this magnificent place.
ReplyDeleteThe interesting facts I pulled from Africa was that the Africans were slaves once in history, but many of them escapes their master and fled north. Also, the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. This is why I would love to visit Africa.

I would want to live Africa because the ancient tombs. I would like to see the ancient tombs because I get to discover gold and jewels that can make people rich. I can look at old pharaohs and discover what Africa looks like now and glance at the Nile River. What I found interesting about Africa is Egypt because it was the richest and most powerful civilization. Plus I got see to the hyroglifics.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think that if I go there I will explore many countries and learn new things. I think I would even learn new languages. I wonder if Egypt is still like it was in 5,000 B.C. That's why I would love to go to Africa.
