Liberia+Adam+Dwyer

Springfield does have a small amount of miniscule problems, but compared to Monrovia’s thunderstorm of problems, Springfield is a light mist. Part of that thunderstorm would be slave labor, blood diamonds, poverty, and genocide. So in that respect the cities are very different. These cities are also very similar though, too. The top language for both of them is English. The reason this statement is true is because roughly 70% of Liberians speak English and around 95% of the entire population of Illinois speaks English, too. And surprisingly, both cities were founded near 1820! Plus, their climates are very similar. , they are also very different too. Unlike Illinois, with a population of about thirteen million, Liberia has a population of only about three million. Who would’ve thought that a place so big could have a population of only three million people? And beside those main problems, Liberia still is recovering from fifteen years of civil war. Although Springfield seems to have a bright future ahead of it, you can definitely see that Monrovia really needs to get its act together. It’s really a horrible place to be right now because of all those major problems. So this place really has some mega cleanup to do before I would choose to move there. ||  || Springfield, Illinois || Monrovia,Liberia || Relative: Bordering states are Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, and of course, Wisconsin. || Absolute: 6° N, 10° W Relative: bordered by Guinea, Cote d' Coire, Sierra Leone, and the Atlantic Ocean. || people:People in Springfield get around by the Amtrak and the Interstate 55 || people:People move around by the railways, ports, highways, and airports. || ideas: % of literacy: 88.9% % of people w/ television: 98.57% || Ideas: % of literacy:38.3% % of people w/ television:25.7% || Precipitation: 35.6 inches a year || Region: Precipitation: 205.12 inches a year || Top 3 Languages: -English -Spanish -French || Top 3 Languages: -English -Kpelle -Bassa || 3 Historical Facts: - President Abraham Lincoln lived in Springfield. - The original name for the city was Calhoun. - The name came from the first governor of Illinois. || 3 Historical facts: - Liberia was founded by freed slaves. - The original area wasn't as big as it is in modern times. - The first population was partially white indentured servants. || Population:12,830,632 || Population: 3,441,720 || Climate: Ranging from very wet to very dry. considered a semi-arid climate winter: It is cool to cold in wintertime.

 * Monrovia and Springfield In Quiet Springfield, Illinois, it seems like the exact counterpart of Monrovia, Liberia. So in This city, there are many problems. But the odd thing is the city itself does not look like a place that’s been struck by poverty, but there sure is a lot of it. Because, in Monrovia there are many airports and paved roads. Yet, despite their locations, these two places actually have a lot in common.
