Five themes


The five themes of geography go along with the unmnemonic MR. HELP!
Movement
Region
.
HE; Human Environmental Interaction
Location
Place
All of these take place in the book Waiting For the Rain. Movement in the city of Johannesburg is driving in a car or simply walking as they said in the book, Tengo walked to school. Region in the book could be that they live in a township in Africa. Human Environmental Interactions can be found like when Tengo and his friend Emma were having cold drinks because of how hot it was outside. Place is also in the book because they live in a township. And lastly Place can be found in this book when Tengo is reading the directions to find the house of the Millars! And those are the five themes of geography in the book Waiting for the rain.

Wow Arjun!!!
I really liked the idea of how you put things together. You showed us how your unmnemonic worked first and then went on to what your thinking was on how the 5 themes of geography apply to the book. You gave us all the 5 elements but location. How does location come in the book?
Maybe you could have showed us where in the book it shows you the elements. Some more evidence would have worked better for you.
Great job!!!

I think that this is a really good post, I like how you organized your whole post. I like your reason for HEI, because even though it is really obvious that heat is a evidence of HEI, it is. This is a good piece, besides a few minor grammatical mistakes. Good Job, Arjun.
