About me

I am Nicholas Phipps and I am currently in my first year of college and in my second semester. I graduated from Mountain View high school in Lawrenceville where I liked to play both football and basketball.I was born in Dekalb County but I moved to Gwinnett when I was four. I live with my older brother and both of my parents. My dad is from Jamaica and my mom is from Indiana. I like to listen to all types of music. I am interested to find out about all the types of new music out there in the Caribbean. I also am into fashion and clothes so seeing how other places of the world dress will be exciting to find out about. I like to make people laugh and bring smiles to people faces. I guess that is all there really is to say about me.

In the two stories "Little Cog-burt" and "Cotton Candy", they shared some similar traits but differed in ways. The main similarity is that the conflict is upon two girls that live on an island in the Caribbean and both have a conflict within another character in their story. The story Little cog burt dealt with a women (Moria) coming to piece over the decision of letting dark children join in on the Christmas party. This is just from the way she was brought up and how things were done as a kid. Her husband thought it would be right to let all the kids join because it seemed like the patriotic thing to do and also everyone else was doing it as well. Moria couldn't wrap her mind around the thought of them doing it. Throughout the story she comes to conclusions and has a few discussions which helped her come together on the idea of the dark kids joining the party. The story the Cotton Candy could relate in similar way due to the girl (Lola) in that story wanting

Dominica is an island with the nickname "The Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for the beautiful agriculture the island holds. Dominica has wide range of mountains and is contained of mostly forest. With so much agriculture the country has so many ways to take advantage of it.

That is not the only thing Dominica specializes in when its comes to their agriculture. Dominica also has very good tourism. With so many beautiful spots on the island there are a lot of tourist that like to walk the trails a
