The process of writing for this author is highly shaped by her unfortunate circumstance due to the societal norms that she is forced to aby by

Im not sure if its because of the translation but I believe that this may say that the author fears the potential of live burial and assassination. It is really unfortunate that she writes as a coping mechanism.

This is a very different kind of source with an author that is different from the typical author I usually see in most writings

This is something I a learning to do

What we think plays an influence in our emotion and eventually our actions

I think that anyone that wants to be good at something will always have that little bit of doubt within them while in the process of doing what they are doing

This is an experience I've felt most this year when preparing for the tests for my other classes

Having a question gives the writer a better sense of purpose and guide to strive for. Its like there is an end goal to meet therefore it easier to maintain a consistent drive to the goal.

I think this is a great focus question

Giving more supporting details than less is better.

I personally believe that if the reader is able to understand what the writer is talking about, it shows mindfulness from the writers part in sense that he is able to keep in mind his or her reader(s) in mind while in the process of writing their work.

No writing is bad. If the writing relating to any matter is well put together even when the information is extremely debatable, it can go very far when it comes to its credibility.

Depending on who you are talking to will largely impact how you deliver what you want to say. It is like code switching in a sense

This is why I sided more with White than with Jenkins in week 7 when we were going over both of the authors texts that we had looked at in week 6. White (2010) defends his argument by stating how It is peoples "ATTITUDES" (White, 2010) what makes people "vulnerable to prejudice". White actually starts this article by calling out and opposing Fish's New York Times "What Should Colleges Teach?". Where Fish asks the question "Who could object learning a second language?" to the reader. But White calls fish hypocritical stating " And Fish himself acquiesce to this linguistic prejudice when he come saying that people make theyselves targets for racism if and when they dont write and speak like he do" (White 2010).

This last sentence brings it all home. As I said before, I'm able to communicate through the white curriculum because it was the only thing available. There was no class on code meshing that I could take. Standard English is the standard which is fine but it almost feels like that is the only option available no matter your background.

Even in modern time, it is not rare to see people being or feeling like they don't fit in due to their background

What I personally understand about this text right here is someone fitting in with even with their background. I personally had to adapt to the norm and it was easier to simply adopt the entire package that is being an English speaker than to code mesh.

This critique is something I can personally attest to. The idea of a third space is a really good one but the ESL program I was in never really helped. I was in this program since I started school and was in it until sophomore year only because my parent signed a waiver saying I didn't to be in it anymore. I wasn't taken out when I showed proficient English speaking and writing

Figure 1 really helped with making everything click. I read this a few times and the illustration was what brought it home

I've never stopped to think how culture impact and influences teaching. I don't have a problem with standard English in its own respective right but from an outsiders perspctive, it is so in the line. There's no influence to it other than what the rules are and that is kind of it
