After reading chapter 6, I thought the most surprising thing to me was how useful the library really is. Throughout my middle school, and high school years, I never used the school library or the public library. It was always accessible, but I never took the opportunity to explore it. The chapter discusses the many things the library offers and it also talks about how organized it is. The library is very useful and I need to use it more.
The library is a place that “knows specific resources and directions to follow-and they therefore can save you a lot of time and help you find solid, useful support for your research.” This basically is saying that the library isn’t just a place to rent books to read for pleasure and research, but a place to find specific facts and specific material to help one with research. The library is also a great place to get away from noise and distractions and a place to study and have some time to ones self.
The library has books, maps, encyclopedias, journals, newspapers, and other useful research materials. All these years I’ve been using the internet as a place to research, but not all the time am I able to find specific materials and facts. The library is very organized and has a lot more facts than the internet.

Diversity is hard to find across the country. When you hear diversity, some cities that come to mind are San Francisco, Oakland, New York and other large cities with vast populations. In a recent article in the San Jose Mercury, San Jose is now more diverse then San Francisco and Lose Angeles. San Jose’s Asian and Latino populations have increased over this past year, creating a more diverse city.
Even though San Francisco is attracting the young, Caucasian group, San Jose and other South Bay cities are grabbing the attention of a new group of immigrants: Indians.
The new vast population of Indian immigrants has allowed San Jose and San Francisco go have the same percentage of Asians in their cities. San Francisco is always thought of as being a more Asian populated city but now everyone will have to think again about San Francisco and incorporate San Jose in there talk.
Diversity is important in creating a better city I think. With diversity, it creates lots of new ethnic relations. Business between different diversities can create better revenue for businesses and help expand businesses.
There is also a down side to having such a diverse population. This can cause hate crimes, gang disputes and other problems that different races have. People hear a lot about different gang wars going on in different cities, but the San Jose area has decreased in its crime rates.
