It’s amazing how in the US we have thousands of different ways to speak yet we have chosen one to be “correct.” I wonder if other countries are like that too... #eng101

It’s weird when I heard this podcast, I thought of those shows where there’s always crime in that specific town and your always questioning “what kind of town is this?” #eng101

After reading the article about Stown, it really made me think about how far people are willing to go to get answers even if it means exploiting ones life. This makes me think about when the paparazzi chased the princess and she ended up dying in a car crash #eng101

so interesting reading about disabilities and how we view people who are “normal” and people who aren’t. It’s also interesting seeing words like “access” and “ableism” and actually thinking about the meaning of the words and how we use them for those with disabilities. #eng101

After reading “Powering Through the Pain” I felt a lot more comfortable going into something I have never done before, maybe it was the way she wrote that made me feel like she almost got me but there’s definitely a relief that I feel going into this podcast now #eng101

“It’s not for foodies, it’s for eaters.” Quote of the day, on a serious note I loved hearing about all of this it was so interesting because it talked about community in a way so bizarre and in a way people usually don’t hear about #eng101

I think something so powerful about slam poetry is how the writer presents themselves. Ariana Brown uses so much emphasis and body language to get her point across like her hand gestures. The way she also speaks shows how she feels about what has happened to her culture #eng101

“The languages I speak are bursting with blood, but they are all I have.”- Ariana Brown Spittin those facts about how the culture who has been disrespecting her culture #talkshitgethit #eng101

I believed that this Ted Talk on rape served its purpose of discussing the horrors that people women fear but I didn’t see the other perspectives. #eng101

i don’t ever think ive looked so deep into Instagram before- it’s like being on a new friendship level #eng101

I think the way Calero uses her Instagram to teach students about representation and reception is really smart because it can really help students relate to words that have no meaning otherwise. #eng101

definitely can be hard to publish an article but if you have a strong voice that can appeal to readers than that’s worth more than being the most formal or academically smart #eng101

after reading the article i feel more inspired about my work but i also feel more comfortable if my work is different yayy #eng101

I feel like I can relate to Coletta in the way of being in different environments- it helps build a broader perspective so when it comes to learning people can know better how to teach or learn because of all the different experiences #eng101

it’s weird being taught so late in life that writing is all about finding your identity-all of these years it’s like I have been taught to write like a robot so it’s the only way I know of-after coming to ISU I feel like I can finally start finding my own identity #eng101
