Summary and response

Summary:


The living buildings article talks about what the buildings will do to the environment. They said the living building is going the absorb and extract the C02 to make our environment better. One sentence I remember that Armstrong said is "At present, buildings are big machines that take our resources and turn them into poison. In effect, we are living in their waste like we were living in the effluent of animals during the Agrarian revolution." This article also talks about how the CO2 affects us and the environment.

Response:

I don't understand some parts of the article, how could the buildings "recycle" the air. I agree what Armstrong said, I think buildings are big machines that use our resources and turn them into poison, too.

Homework assignment #1

My book called "Diary of a wimpy kid". I did enjoy the book because it has sense of humor, easy to understand, have illustrations. I enjoy the part when Gregory is with Rowley's family on vacation. When Greg pulled the
band-aid off Rowley's arm, it didn't hurt at all, but Rowley started blubbering and Rowley's parents were mad at Gregory. So they sent Greg back a day early. There's nothing I dislike about the book, every sentence of it is funny.

Today discussion was about their favourite books. Their books are diary of a wimpy kid, adventureof sherlock holmes, whole,etc... i'm very interested in their books especially adventure of sherlock holmes. I have never read their books yet, so I want to try someday.
