Question 2

Question 2: What can you hear around you that is different from the Botany you live in back in 1830?

In 2013 there is a lot more noise than in 1830, back in 1830 you could only hear birds chirping, wood being chopped and children playing. Now we can hear cars, horns, kids screaming, tapping of smartphones, music, talking and yelling. In 1830 everything was very quiet and peaceful and not much sound but now there is sound all around us where ever we go there will be sound. At night in 1830 all you could hear are ruru's hooting and the rustling of the leaves but in 2013 at night we can hear cars zooming past, reckless teens yelling, the smashing of glass bottles, dogs barking and cat fights. We liked the sound a lot better in 1830 because it was very quiet.
