Journal 8

One border that i will be crossing during my travel through that many of the writers have gone through is the cultural border between different areas. This will come into play for my travel log because my character that will be traveling will be moving through not only different cultures but also different species in planets. His traveling will be much different in a lot of ways. I fell that his experience will be very much like the one piece that we read on Friday November 15. When the travelers reached the town during the funeral, the town invited them to participate in the event and even made them a key part of the experience. This will come into play with my character because there will be cultures that he can relate to, others that will be superstitious of him and others that will reject him outright.  He needs to be wary and understand that come cultures will not be as willing as others to accept him. In terms of galactic community, humans are a very young race but their ambition to be a key part of the community scares many of the races and ma affect his travels. That being said there are many who want to understand and even have personal relationships with humans like those in the village did to the travelers in the piece we read. Culture and massive distance borders are two borders that my character will travel through.

    I think your idea of traveling is really interesting. I would like to see how the character reacts to all the different situations will he be the perfect openminded traveler or will he become frustrated with customs and different people. This is something we ll face when we travel even when it is within our own country. The south has a very different mentality than we do here in Ohio that can be a little frustrating. Or in Italy you are still considered to be on tie if you are 10-15 minutes late to a meeting,yet, in New York this wouldn’t fly for a minute. It will be interesting to see.
