Wikipedia Trail From Alice and Wonderland to ESPN

I started learning about Alice and Wonderland and how it is a fantasy novel written back in the 1800's. Then I went on to research the White Rabbit from the book and movie. He is frequent all through out the book from start through the end. Then I went on to Disney where it talked about the different parks and movies that it has done in its time. Lastly I ended on ESPN which is a sports network that includes all sports and is the leading sports announcers in the industry.

Wikipedia Trail

For this assignment, I started with the term sleep because there was a post about sleep deprivation on our twitter feed. I learned the actual definition of sleep and also what your body does during this process. I then went on to the circadian clock which I had never heard of before. This term is pretty much describing an internal clock that is a hypothetical phase. From there I went on to clicking entrainment which is the study of chronobiology. I had no idea what either term is so it just made sense to then move onto chronobiology, which is the field of biology that examines periodic phenomena in living organisms. I feel like a lot fo these two pages went over my head, but it was interesting to learn and get a small amount of information on all of these pages.

Wikipedia Trails


For this Wikipedia tail assignment, I first searched catacombs, which I saw on the class twitter page. I learned about how catacombs were passageways for religious use and also burial grounds that are under ground. I then went on to learn about underground cities that are in place as a place for living or a safe refuge under the normal towns or streets. That then took me to underground living, which is where people chose to live underground in caves or built structures. Lastly I found myself at Icelandic turf houses. These I had seen before but never knew they were called this. They are made out of wood or stone and look like the picture below.
