Part IV: The Themes

For this project I am working on, I am suppose to include five themes of geography and compare it to my school, Punahou. The five themes of geography are: place, location, human-environment interaction, movement, and region. 

Punahou's "Front" Gate
Punahou is located in Manoa Valley, while my house is located in Hawaii Kai. Even though these are two different places, they are still many comparisons.
My House!


Place:
The "Side" Vegetation at My House


(One of) Punahou's Garden(s)
A Garden at My House

Both my house and Punahou have gardens/plants that grow similar foods (like tomatoes).








     


Human-Environment Interaction:
Recycling Bin (at my place)

(One of) Punahou's Recycling Bin(s)
We recycle things like water bottles and paper. Also, we both use solar panels for energy.

Movement:
A Car at Punahou

People Walking
I don't have any pictures of my cars (because we had a loaner car--our real car was in the shop); however I will say that for movement, Punahou and my house both use cars and walking as ways of transportation.

Region:
The view from the living room of my house. (On the Lanai, you could see these tube-like things--it's a "green" irrigation system my dad built)

One of the many views on Punahou's campus

These are pictures of the view I have in both places, which  seem a little different, but there still are some similarities because there is a view of houses and mountains/hills in the background. (There are other similar things, but I didn't take a picture of them)

Even though my home and my school are from different places and environments, there are still many similarities to compare with. Both are private places, grow similar foods, are "green" (solar panels and recycling), use similar ways of transportation, and are around places/things that resemble each other.
Thanks for reading all of my posts!

Just so this isn't a boring blog, I will put this:

This is a funny video of my dog (it's kinda weird, so I don't know if you would want to watch it) :

  1. I really like this blog Karen. You did a good job writing it and it seems very clear and organized. I think you put lots of effort into this. It seems that your home affects you because the way it's described seems like a partial side or way to describe you.
