    Summary: She Sells Sea Shells

    The tongue twister “She Sells Sea Shells” is one of the best known of its genre.

    The Conch Shell Analysis

This symbolizes order and democratic power because each individual has the right to speak and express their own views.

    On The Run By Alice Goffman Analysis

    For my journal entry I am going to talk about "On The Run" by Alice Goffman's and Punished by Victor M. Rios. In Goffman methodological note I liked how she elaborated more Chuck’s death. Because on the previous chapter so was so nonchalant about it Chuck’s murder. Also I at the end she was a truth rider. When her and Mike went out to find Chuck’s killer. yes, she was not in the right mind set, and she was being a friend than an ethnographer. Goffman was a truth rider. In punished Rios was way more factual than Goffman. For example, the way he describes Oakland as being the flatland, 6th populous metro area in the U.S, poverty rate, the killing zone and so on. Rios being so factual is good because you could get picture of of what happen in…
