2) Answer question number 5 at the end of the essay.

-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.
some people do tend to forget that we need to send up for ourselves.
ReplyDeletethey feel as though they might get arrested for speaking against things that they feel are not right. so I do agree with you on your opinion.
I agree with what you said in question one. People judge one another based on what is on the outside and it is usually completely wrong.
ReplyDeleteYour views on self confidence are very similar to myself. I believe that people should look within themselves for validation and not seek it from others. In life we are always going to be faced with people who disagree with what we think and do not share the same views as we do but that does not mean there difference should effect your thoughts, views are actions. We were created as individuals and we will stand as such forever no one person is the same, that is acceptance is so important.
ReplyDeletei can understand how people can fear what others think about them. im in fear all the time and its not a way to live life. people should speak for themselves. it helps conquer the fear inside. i wish that i wasn't scared all the time.
ReplyDeleteso true most people do not know anything about some people because they do not choose to communicate with one another unless someone comes up to them. ALso when people are in class and they know the answer, some are scared to speak up infront of people and get out of their confront zone.
