Concepts

Return to the world

books = bunch of papers

if ( papers != books) {
send to recycle center;
}

else {
return books(to the world);
}

Travel

People = travel around

books = belong to people

while people == on trip {
books = travel around;

if books == finished {
leave it somewhere;
}

else if books == '' {
pick up books;
}

else {
enjoy your trip;
}
}

If you == online {
