First Exploration

Today I entered second life for the first time out of my composition 2 class.i wanted to explore some of the regions of second life first hand. I hoped to gain some knowledge on the functions of second life as well aw meetsome new people.
My first venture to new lands was at InfoIsland, I was joined by Mary Blum or as she goes by mebshowgirl on second life When we teleported to InfoIsland we found our self at a real-estate building. There were signs that had words in red print like investment and property. The building was wooden with a green roof top. Then we walked on a path that took us through a camping area and led us to a brick building with flowers and gazeboes near it. We then flew to an art gallery it was the Library Art gallery. on the outside there were pine trees and a waterfall. Once we entered it the ground floor had pictures of snowmen. As I went up stairs I found art work by Sledge Roffo. Mary and I flew to the Alliance Library and found the library assistant who directed us to the librarian Paulino. She gave us a link for future events.
My next adventures were alone. I visited both the Podex and Chakryn Forest. In the Podex I met Ella Mayfair she informed me about the sandbox and I learned that it is a place to build stuff. Fabio Taov was a builder and informed me of a way to make money by going to camp grounds. Then I walked over to a very interesting creation and met the builder he was a French man named Lollito Larkham. His inspirations were Frankinstien and Lovecraft. He was attempting to portray a mad scientist’s lair. As I explored the area I found many interesting art forms. I then teleported to Chakryn Forest using the slurl and its objective was endangered open space sims. This area was all forest. Many tall trees and plants were located in this area. I encountered a water element that asked I retrieve a poison from the oceans edge and it would reward me. I flew around to explore and found a rock formation on the waters edge I landed there and took a picture.
I then moved to Themiskyra. I encountered many structures of interest.i found an amazon plalce and entered it. I was intrigued by the letter posted on the wall, its heading was BITCHES OATH. It portrayed women as repressing men and taking advantage of them. I was interested in that idea.
I feel that it is a flip on the ordinary perspective on men and women relationships. The man is no longer the bad guy. Typically society puts blame on men, they lower women’s self esteem and abuse them mentally. In this group the roles have flipped the women make the men feel inferior.
