How Has Geography of The West Shaped Who We Are?
I think all the cool landscapes and awesome scenery bring tourists and those tourists buy things and that all shapes the west. I think that the CPR has a huge part in the west because that is how we get all our goods across the country.
Reflection 1: The Last Spike Photo
1. The Last Spike uses the movment theme because the train moves through the last spike.
2. The Last Spike is a historically significant location because the last spike of the CPR was nailed there
3. I connect to the last spike because the CPR brings goods to North Vancouver
This location is important because the last ever spike on the coronavirus was drilled here. This is important because millions of items every year are transported across this railway

Reflection 2: Rogers Pass
1. Rogers Pass connects to human environment interaction because they blew a hole in the mountain for the train to get through, this is historically significant because back then it was dangerous to be handling dynamite because it could just blow up unexpectedly. They would have had to use tons of dynamite.
2. Rogers Pass is historically significant because all it was a hard area for the train to get through but they managed to do it. They managed to do it by hiring hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers for 1$ a day. Back then for the Chinese that was very good pay.
3. We went to the museum and learned all about it and looked at sculptures of it and then we went and actually saw it! I thought that was very cool because I like learning about things and then seeing what they are like in real life, this was way bigger than I thought!

Photo 3: Cave and Basin National Historic Site
I think that when they found the hot springs people realized there was more than gold and many people started to crowd Alberta/Canada to look for hidden gems to make money off of.
