    1. Dialogue cannot exist, however, in the absence of a profound love for the world and for people. I choose to annotate this sentence since it inspires me a lot. It reminds me that dialogue between people is not unreasonable, it exists for love inside human's heart. Sometimes I get impatient when my mom nagging me to study hard. Now I know she talks with me because she loves her children and wants her to have a good living environment in the future.Just like Angela Davis who is full of love to this world, she argues forthrightly for "decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

      Dialogue further requires an intense faith in humankind, faith in their power to make and remake, to create and re-create, faith in their vocation to be more fully human (which is not the privilege of an elite, but the birthright of all). I choose this sentence because it makes me feel passioned that any problems we meet might be solved only if we have strong faith in humankind, also their power to make an remake. For instance, I used to experience school bullying when I was at grade 10. Some of my classmates always nicknamed me "pigeon" because of my appearance.It makes me feel so annoyed and I believe that dialogue is a way for me to stop it from happening again in my life.As I think they are not do it in purpose, instead, they just do not know exact ways to respect other people.Angela Davis thought that the time for the prison is approaching an end. Those immoral and cruel thing such as convict-lease system should banned and she trusts that people are able to achieve this goal.

      Only dialogue, which requires critical thinking, is also capable of generating critical thinking. I choose to annotate this sentence since dialogue is really a way for people to think critically and to correct their mistakes. Different people always have various thoughts. Most of people in the society just follow what people thought before. However, there are still some people who have ability to think critically and break the rules. Dialogue might help more people to think about the issues by themselves rather than repeating other's ideas. Angela Davis is such person who have courage to break people's thinking mode and challenge the whole society to express her own view about prison.
