2. What is something similar this classmate said about the choice?
Jennifer and I both noticed that Bodega Bay and Seal Beach rely quite a bit on tourism along with the fact that they’re both pretty small towns that are quite well known for their beachy environment.

3. What is something different this classmate said about the choice?
Jennifer brought up a good point in her post that I hadn’t really thought about which is the fact that Seal Beach is a southern California community and Bodega Bay is a northern California community. I hadn’t really recognized the differences in climate and culture like Jennifer had.

4. How would you relate this to Freire's ideas regarding dialogue? For example, you went in thinking one idea, your classmate had a different idea. What new idea emerged from this process?
Though we shared many similar topics in this assignment I think that I tended to focus more on the weather and population and she talked more about the community aspect of the beaches which was something that I hadn’t really thought of. After reading her assignment I realized that this is a very important part of understanding more about these two beaches and caused me to see it from another perspective.
