-This passage applies to both sexes because we tend to leave our voice our and let everyone else think for us. Sometimes we try to hear ourselves think but not out loud. We want to be heard but it is stuck underneath fear and misconception. We all have our different ways of livng and some people just don't understand. We don't understand each other because we don't communicate back and forth. People of different races or ethnics are misunderstood and taken for granted. Our respect for each other is less of a thought because we do not know them or we think about how other people is going to look at us. When they see us with someone:outside of our confront zone. We think a red flag goes up and we get scared. But the passage is just saying you don't have to fit in all the time and it is good to branch out beyond your ordinary wall you stand behind. And the ones that are just school people nobody knows them so its not like they exist. because their words are never going to be unwritten unless they spread the word.  

By this the author means that we are there to better ourselves, but the way we came up in society. The contract is us going to class, staying out each others ways, and maintaining you best in that class. We have a contract of us just being there but the teacher doesn't have to push us to be there. The larger ethnic agreement is the one that does and is the best at that class is the experiment of how the class will flow.The difference the intelligence a person has and is raised up with. You can be smart and have wits but can have smarts with no thinking abilities.

I read over my assignment topic about three times to I can fully grasp the question that the topic is asking me.And I look over it a few times after. I think it would benefit looking over it again because you might of missed an important detail and you did not know about it.Rereading all you information again can help you be a stronger writer on the subject that you are talking on. It does not hurt to reread what you have worked on and you could possibly catch some mistakes that you have made. You can consider that drafting part because you can use hands on information and not just what everyone else thinks. Andyou can look at evidence to support that a personal experience is and what you suppose to maintain on your response in a paper. The most useful tidbit is the myths of writing it helped me realize that you do not have to be scared to write and you should just let it flow. and it will eventually come to you. The part that I did not understand was the decoding literature. Are they talking about the different usage of words or its meaning.
The comparison is that they both talk about making the topic clear to the audience and sticking to the subject. The rubric is strictly on how to do the paper and to follow it by step and the section is making a list of the most common things.

#2 Discussion prompt

1. Homemade items can be good because you can save money. And they can last a lot longer than store bought items. Like when you sew your own clothing they seem to last longer than a shirt or a pair of jeans you bought. They can be taken less seriously than store bought things because we pay for things we can not make.   Like jeans and decorations,we want the nice things so we don't have to make them. They seem more expensive in value when we have to take it out our pocket and pay for it. Yes. I can think of a lot of people that have went to community colleges and succeeded more than going to a university. And If you have street more and book smarts some companies are looking for that and they can get a job like that. Malcolm X was just saying that you can go far in life when you have some knowledge. And you can succeed past the minimum rate than you would see on a normal class room setting. And you can be free from struggling if you make something out of your self. You just have to be determined and have the will power. If i was locked up in a jail cell I would increase my science abilities because i want to be a Nurse. And you have to be good at what you do. I would try and go to school for my nursing degree and I would need to sharpen up my other skills. I would need to make myself better. And I would use my new found literacy to practice and learn more about my field that I would like to study.
