2 Single Story 2011

Danger Of Single Story

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

To have a personal opinion About someone or something without really knowing about it & just judging them/it for the way it looks.


2.Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?

That in the east side is a real bad hood because of everything that happens.Something thats missing is that its not a "Bad Hood',we have a really good college prep school & here all of us want to go to college & be someone good in life. I Think people should actually come and see what the east side its all about & not believe what other people say.


3.Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?People say that in the West Lake only really rich white people live there.I learned that story because my parents friend live there & I Visited there.I think I Can find out about this community by actually seeing what kind of races live there & maybe a little research.


4.How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?In Some games people only put one story & if someone from another planet played that game their actually going to believe it so people have to put the "Whole Story".




NOTES

The lady read books about white people only & she wrote books about them too because she thought that they were wealthy & had a better life than others.

The lady never been outside of Nigeria her whole life.

At the age of 8 her parents had a servant at their home & he was even more poor than her,that's when she felt like at least she had something more than other people.

When she got to the university her roommate made an omsumsion of her that she didn't know how to use the stove, She wasn't that smart, she didn't know how to speak English but when she prove her wrong she was surprise.

The university had told the they where going to have a charity for the country's India & Africa.

when they had said that she felt like they were saying to her "You need help" & Africa isn't a country its a continent. 

She wrote a book & the publisher told her that her characters weren't "REAL",because he thought that Africans were sick & had a bad life but she knew that he was wrong because she is an African & lived her life has one in Africa.

When she saw the News she saw that the Mexicans were poor,they didn't eat,no jobs & just had a bad life,but one day she went to Guadalajara  & she saw that what she saw in the news was wrong everything was so different,& She realized that she was acting like her white roommate.
