Mike & Mao



Hello there, my name is Mike Sullivan and I am a Freshman at The Ohio State University. I thoroughly enjoy reading my Bible and long walks on the beach. Currently, I dwell in Marion, Ohio, but originally I am from Marysville, Ohio. I went to Delaware Christian School, there I played several sports, basketball, soccer, and baseball. I'm pretty easy to talk to and would like to get to know all of you better!

Click Here to Learn about Mao Zedong

In this article you will learn about the early life of Mao Zedong, and his love for swimming. Interesting isn't it? But, he actually tried to force his love for swimming on the Chinese public and asked of them too to partake in swimming. We also read about his rise to power and the people who influenced his thoughts and his principles. As well, we learn about his accomplishments and how those who came after him learned from his mistakes and adjusted accordingly. It is a great article, fairly short but an easy read. Thank you for your time and I hope that this article will instigate discussion both in the class room and for others outside the classroom.

    I thinks it's kinda crazy he liked to float down rivers in South China. The article said he didn't mind the human excrement. That sounds like fun, let's go float down a river full of human waste and industrial pollution... But no, it sounds horrible.

      Hahaha! I know man, when I read that I thought to myself, 'Did the article really just mention that?!' A man of steal one might say! Haha, I wonder how he would perform against Michael Phelps in a one-on-one swim off?

    I agree, though who am I to talk. I go swimming in Delaware Lake, and I'm sure that's not much better.

    I like how you made this blog, very creative! It seems a little strange to me as to why someone could be okay with swimming in water that was so polluted..Weird. I have to agree with Dan.

      I agree with all of you! Also, I love how it seems as though that swimming in excrement was all that anyone got out of this article!; )
