About the first readings

The readings for this week really confused me. i did enjoy the first few articles on where the south began and what that entailed. But some of the articles seemed not to be related to any of. Especially the article on nutrition. i did enjoy that article as well and now that i think about it can kind of tie in with what we said in class about what makes the south the south is the food. So thats a little clear. But the readings did open my eyes to what modern geographers do. i haven't taken a geography class in about 2 years and i forgot everything that geography entails. These articles showed a side of geography that i hadn't even considered before. I was really intrigued by the article titled Surface Phenomena and Aesthetic Experience. This article elaborated on things that you would talk about in art which is my major. i think that its crazy that one can take a subject such as the aesthetic appeal and relate it to geography.
