2 Single Story 2011

(: "Danger of a Single Story" :)

Children believe everything what they ready. The kids only read books about fruit. Her room mate told her that African American people did not know how to use a stove and some other things. Her room mate though that she didn't speak English and her room mate told her that if in Africa America were poor. She was sad because they were talking about African American people what they just heard about it in the T.V. Her American room mate thought she didn't talk English in African American People because she was from Africa, She started talking English and her room mate told her sorry that i judge her like that and they told her that How did he learn to talk English. When she wen't to college they told her mean stuff. Her mom told her that she started reading when she was 2yrs old. Her room mate told her that she didn't know about Hollywood and about music. She wrote a book and they didn't wan't to publish it, because they didn't talk about the people that didn't have any food. They thought that she was poor but she wasn't poor or not even rich. But she was in the middle she had a some people that made food for them.

Question 1: What does it mean to have a "Single Story" about a place or community?

My community is in the East Side, the news is that in the East Side is all about gangs and drugs.. But there more Mexican people living in the East Side and the African American people are living from the East side to the South Side or North Side. But why do they think that the East Side is a bad hood. They just think that the hood is bad because they do drugs and they kill people. But is not true because I been living in the East Side for 7yrs. My mom was scared of living there but not anymore because she is has been living there for 7yrs straight. My mom doesn't want to live from there.. So we main be living there for more and more years. I like the East side.. I don't know why but i have a good reason is that We have fun been in the East Side, I have to say that the East Side is the best hood of Austin TX. The people think that the people that leave in the East Side are poor. But not a lot of people are poor because they are leaving there.
