How to lie with Maps

I mapped this...

and I understand what it's saying. I am studying Urban Planning at Pratt and this semester I took GIS "101." I am so grateful to God. I am so pysched, to really be putting theory into practice. I am so excited for that class. The process is heavy. Even though the Professor is approachable, sometimes I feel as if I am having an outer body experience trying to understand ArcMap. You have to use both sides of your brain I feel like you get to be creative in making and designing the map but first you have to be straight forward, correct deciphering the data. The first class our reading was How to Lie with Maps by Mark Monmonier.
