1 Station 2

2 Station 2

3 Station 2 The difference between the two maps has at least two components: · size (of continents respective to one another) · centrality (again, of continents respective to one another) Notice that in the map on the left, Africa looks much bigger than it does on the map on the right. In fact, the United States can fit several times into the outline of Africa in the map on the left, while in the map on the right the United States looks about the same size as Africa. The key to the second question, "Which is more accurate?" is the position of the equator, in the map on the left, it divides the map in half, just as we know that the equator divides the world in half. In fact, these are two different ways of creating maps, an art that we call "cartography." The map on the left is called a Peterson’s projection," while the map on the right is called a "Mercator projection." So, the map on the left is a more realistic image of Africa gives us a better idea of how big Africa is in relation to the rest of the world in fact, it is the second largest continent in the world. So it’s a lot bigger than the traditional map would have us believe.

9 Station 7 - Blue stands for the sky which provides water for the animals and nature, and also for peace.  - Green stands for health, because there’s a local plant called olari which grows tall, as the Maasai hope to do. Green is also important because it stands for the land on which the food for their animals grows.  - White also stands for health, because milk (which is important as food for the Maasai) is white. White also stands for purity as the Maasai see cows as pure and holy animals.  - Red stands for unity, bravery and blood, because of the red blood of the cow which is slaughtered when all the Maasai come together (hency the unity).  - Black stands for the people, but especially of the hardship that all people go through in life.  - Orange stands for hospitality because visitors are offered milk from the gourds which are orange.  - Yellow also stands for hospitality because the animal skins on the beds of visitors are of that color.
