Learning of both Mendocino California and Los Angeles California, I determined that they are similar in a few ways, but different in a majority of ways. Mendocino is much known for their beliefs in the green ways of life, and in living life surrounded by art. Every street in town has atleast one gallery to look at, so no matter what kind of art your interested in, you'll find your taste here. They are mostly known to be kind, warm, peacefull people. Los Angeles on the other term is known for their artistic ways in a different kind of medium, in film. Los Angeles contains some of the most famous film studios and music recording studios, and houses some of the most famous stars in hollywood. The movie stars are sometimes what we dream about, hopefully about someday becoming, they are what some aspire to be.

Contains the following elements that will be used in upcoming projects for analytical purposes:
What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location: 1 point
I think that Mendocino is mostly known to be a "hippy" town, most of the residence believe in living green, growing their own vegetables and fruits and plants, and buying groceries from a small town grocery market. They are known to be kind and give rides to hitch hikers, and they are advocates in the legalization of Marijuana. Los Angeles residence are known to be rude, crazy drivers, and beach lovers. They have stereotypes of the rich and wealthy, and movie stars seen everywhere, but in reality Los Angeles consists of mostly poor minorities struggling along to make a living and support their families. Los angeles is also known for attractive peoples of all ages, since so much plastic surgery is practiced in this area.

I read about Russels trip to the Superbowl. Reading about this, i learned that the superbowl is the second largest food consumption day in the US. Football and the superbowl is watched by millions all over the world, and football, being the number one sport in the US, is a great part of history and our human nature. We get agression out by watching these people hit and compete with eachother, and it is very entertaining. Everyone from the poor to the rich, from man to woman, watches football on this special, once a year event.
