1. Mick explains to Jack that MaMa Gombe understands the “energy of Africa” (Strelecky 20). What do you think Mick means? How would you describe the “energy” of Florida or that of your home state?
I believe that Mick is trying to say that MaMa Gombe understands how Africa's environment and population work together. The energy of Cooper City, Florida to me is a very small but undoubtably busy town. Cooper City has many people living in it and has just celebrated its 52 year as a city. We keep our community clean and take care of it. Since it isn't a big city, you can walk to both ends of it. As long as you work with your environment, I think you can understand the "energy" of Florida.
Thanks, Lindsay. Nice concise post comparing the energy of Africa with the energy of your hometown.
