What I learned about the west
region was that Hawaii is part of
the west, but it is not connected
to California. It is an Island with
several other islands. I also
learned that the country Mexico
borders California, and that is
why there are a lot of Spanish
influences. such as food,
language and dress. i learned
that California has the largest
population of people and Alaska
is the largest state in the west.
Alaska' also has night fall "DARK"
six months of every year.
There are deserts and lots of
mountains in the west too. I also
learned that the west region is
next to the Pacific ocean which
is the largest ocean on the entire
planet.
