 9/23/20 If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, the tree still makes sound. The tree makes sound because although no one is their to hear it different noises are made such as branches breaking or leaves crunching the only difference is that no one heard it. Sound is made because the weight of the tree falls onto the ground and the only way humans can hear it is if they are near it. 

10/9/20  A person who is important to me is famous primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall. Something that I think is very important of her is what she did when she was younger, she went to the rainforests of Africa to study our closest relatives the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall made incredible discovery's about these animals she learned how just like humans they have emotions they feel joy and grief. She learned that they are intelligent using tools just like humans do, and learned how they are endangered. Dr. Jane Goodall worked hard to protect chimpanzees and their home and by doing so not only did she protect the chimps but hundreds of other species that share the same environment as them. 

 10/7/20 If I was sitting at home and saw a big spider crawling across the floor I would first try to identify the species to find out if it is venomous or not, its natural habitat or environment and its status (least concerned, vulnerable or endangered). Instead of killing it I would simply take it outside because being an animal lover it isn't fair to just kill an animal  when it obviously cant defend it self and this animal is most likely scared more of me than I am of it. I need to consider that this is a living being. 

 1) The difference between a sign and a symbol is a symbol is usually a image whether it can be a animal, plant, religion or object a sign usually has words or letters, most signs are to warn someone. Symbols usually tend have a deeper meaning or message while a sign is usually just an indicator for something.  2)The three elements are symbol, referent and us.  3)I would describe a word as a sign rather then a symbol.  4)A sign I have seen is the stop sign.  5)One symbol I have seen in the world is the recycle symbol. This symbol stands for recycling or reusing common items such as water bottles and paper. I new what this sign meant because it has little arrows that point towards each other and go in a circle shape meaning to reuses.
