·      ·     Large chunk of concrete that goes over another
   ·      Four wheeled vehicles that pass by under

   ·      Pass over in order to get over to the other side 

   ·    Two wheeled bikes crossing

   ·      Stairs that go up & back down

   ·      Really high off the ground

   ·      So basic yet so reliable

   ·      Bridges make it easier for handicap people to get across

   ·      Puddles don’t form on this bridge because of how steep it is

   ·      It’s a good place to throw water balloons at cars and kids as they pass by

  1. Hey Andrew,
    I have gone over that bridge almost every day that I’ve been here to visit my friends so I am very familiar with that Bridge. I am impressed at how you approximated the length of the steps and the height of the bridge because I know that is very hard to do. I also think that you did a fairly good job of organizing your notes and that your essay will benefit from the fact that your observations are well organized. I also appreciate the humor that you used when writing these notes; sometimes we get caught up in the objective side of taking notes and it’s great that you were able to find humor in what you were observing. The only thing I would say about your notes is that they are slightly lacking in detail, but you shouldn't have any trouble when writing the essay, however make sure that you try to bring out the details in your paper. I also agree that the bridge can either make your life 100 times easier or harder depending on whether or not you mind the steep incline. Oh and I found the fact that you think that it is a great place to throw water balloons from pretty funny – now I know not to go anywhere near the bridge when you are up there. I think that your notes would be more fitting for using Frank Vanclay’s lens because you used a more factual approach to taking down notes. Great job, and good luck.
