    1. ‘I was not sorry when my brother died.

      For an introduction I really liked how this started out with this. I mean it got my attention right away and for sure was not something I expected.

    1. My dear hermanas, the dangers we face as women writers of color are not the same as those ofwhite women

      I completely agree as there are more problems that other women face not just because they are women, but because they are not white..

    2. We cannot educate white women and take them by the hand. Most ofus are willing to help, but we can't do the white woman's homework for her.

      I feel as though this sentence is empowering in a way that they do not understand their advantage, especially in todays society, even though they are women, in America I feel like they are put to a higher standard than other women, just because of their ethnicity and that leading to those white women to not understand anyone else's limitations due to not just their gender but their ethnicity.

    3. Finally, I write because I'm scared ofwriting but I'm more scared ofnot writing.

      I get what they mean, since its like I kind of don't know what exactly to write about or how to articulate what I wanna express in my writing, but also scared that if I don't do it, I have missed a great opportunity to show what kind of person I really am.

    4. Find the muse within you. The voice that lies buried under you, dig it up.be dangerous and just fuck, hell, let it out and let everybody hear whether Do not fake it,

      This highlighted both sides but I really like both of these quotes. For me the being loud and letting everyone one hear is something I wish I could do. I love seeing support for women's speech. And for the other with not faking it and being genuine is important and making sure your authentic voice is heard.

    1. Late Work and Extensions:

      I'm very grateful for the extensions, not because I always turn my assignments late but because in my other classes no matter what, even if it was 5 minutes late, it was counted as a 0 so I feel like this is fair.

    2. As long as work has been submittedthat fulfills all of the requirements of the assignment, work will receive at least a B grade. Work which demonstrates higher quality and/or demonstrates risk-taking inconsidering or implementing new ideas will be awarded an A.

      I think this is very reassuring and fair as I think as long as their is effort shown in the work and follows the directions, the least should be a B grade.

    3. Course Schedule

      The course schedule is quite helpful and a good way for us to measure out the next weeks of class. Also I like knowing about my classwork weeks ahead so this is very much appreciated.

    4. ENGL 215 | Summer Session 1212-We Do Not Part, Part Three, allResources and Support

      Like how this is included as the writing center is a pretty good resource and probably will be for this course.

    5. Students must grant the instructor Editorpermissions on theGoogle Doc they submit. This allows the instructor to provide detailed feedback, make suggestions, and track revisions effectively.

      I have not had a class so far use google docs, most of my assignments used Word so kind of happy to go back to google docs since that is what I used in high school.

    1. Active reading is a skill that takes time to acquire.

      I agree, this is probably a skill that no matter how many times you do it, there is always room for improvement. But this is a skill that is required for many so its important to learn.

    2. analyze what you read.

      I feel like this is what has been engraved into our minds since elementary school. Like when they would time us to see how fast we could read and then ask to see if we knew and or understand what we just read.
