    slavery was wrong. All they had were bravery‚ leadership‚ and being able to read. Slaves were not allowed to read or write or learn about the alphabet. The slaves were only allowed to work and that was it. The slave owners valued literacy‚ but didn’t let the slaves learn it. They would have slaves deliver letters and knew that they wouldn’t read them because they didn’t know how to read. Some slaves would secretly learn how to read or write.

    danger of a single story? When we accept a single story‚ we accept an incomplete story. Consequently‚ we unconsciously create stereotypes which are untrue. Therefore‚ we tend to think that people that live in other countries are rather different than similar than us‚ and people who are being stereotyped feel as if they have lost their dignity. For example‚ Chimamanda said that she used to have one roommate who thought that she was poor‚ that she didn’t listen to the popular songs but songs from her native

    Thomas C. Foster indicates in “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” that usually when a blind person shows up in a piece of literature‚ he can see into the spirit and divine world‚ and can see things that the hero of the story is unable to see. While I don’t believe love is spiritual‚ I do believe that it takes a special eye to see it. In “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green‚ Augustus’ best friend Isaac is losing his eyesight to cancer‚ and essentially going blind. Even though Isaac is losing

    I have always loved language. I discovered my passion for language when I learned how to read and write. Learning how to read and write English has been a journey of self-discovery. I remember learning some alphabets before I started going to school. I learnt the alphabet from some learning materials my older siblings had used in school.
