Do Now : I was about 5 or 6 when i use to get whatever i wanted when i wanted . Everything i asked for my mother went out her way to get it since she was playing both the mother and the father role . Now that i have gotten older , everything changed . I don't get nothing i ask for because my mom feels that i am getting older and need to start taking responsibility and being independent . If i could go back in time i would and do it all over again .


Reflection : Jean Bauby would interpret the quote from Dante by saying how is childhood was before and now how is is now that he can't do anything . Jean Bauby relies on his memories that's what shapes him as a person .

How was Brazil Founded ? Brazil as we know it today was founded when the Spanish and Portuguese empires signed the Treaty of Torsedillas sometime in the 1500s. Both the Spanish and Portuguese had started colonies in South America, and wanting to avoid a war over whose lads was whose, they signed the treaty of Torsedillas stating that everything North of the Rio de la Plata and Paraná rivers and East of the Andes mountain range was property of Portugal, which later names the region Brazil. Because accurate maps of the continent were not yet available, neither the Portuguese nor the Spanish knew how much land that space included.

Language Of Brazil : Language is one of the strongest elements of Brazil's national unity. Portuguese is spoken by nearly 100 percent of the population. There is about as much difference between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and that spoken in Portugal as between the English spoken in the United States and that spoken in the United Kingdom. Within Brazil, there are no dialects of Portuguese, but only moderate regional variation in accent, vocabulary, and use of personal nouns, pronouns, and verb conjugations.

Climate: mostly tropical, but temperate in south
