Thinking about the text. The men we carry in our minds

1. Sanders acknowledge men who labored worked very. Their physical conditions were bad. Men had injuries inside and outside of their body for instance some lost their fingers, hands are scared up, weak in the knees and ankle, and some had lost of hearing.

2. Sanders characterize soldiers as not doing anything compared to the labored men on the farm. He see soldier to be waiting to be called for work to come for example waiting for wars, transfers, and promotions.

3. Sanders couldn’t imagine his self to become successful man because he see him self in a lower class where he see men to be labored.

4. Sander’s father’s fate seem to a partial escape because he went from being a labored work form the red dirt farm to going in an office position wearing a white shirt and tie.

5. Sanders thought that college men would leave wealthy lives because their father or family is wealthy. He thought that women lives seemed easy before going to college and they didn’t have to work.

7. The women in college and the author of this essay want to be equal in what they do and also the right to choose.

Summary Evaluation

Overall, I thought that writing this summary was some what challenging because I have a difficulty in writing things in my own words. I also had the thesis as a challenge for me because I can't seem to get the overall main idea but I would understand what the essay is about. Based upon the comments from this summary I think that my strength was some what following the rubric and have most of the main points or ideas out. I thought the my weakness was that i don't go further and elaborating on my main points.

The grade that i got for this writing was not what I expected because i see my self as not a good writer. Usually, when i write have to do essay writing my grade would be low and our teacher would let us revise so we can improve our writing. But when I seen my grade I felt happy and thought to my self that I can improve in my writing the next summaries. For my next summary I am going to detail my main points more, have stronger transition and "authorial action."

Feminist Shouldn't Be a Dirty Word

1. Do the author’s survey results indicate that feminist is, by and large, a dirty word for her fellow students? What in the essay make you agree or disagree?

No, because some people agree feminism is women’s equal right and other people agreed feminist are radical women that hate men. Many male didn’t care because they believed it wasn’t their concern since they are male and not female. People also didn’t care of the controversial issue on feminism. I agree that people deny feminism because they believe it to not exist in society.

2. What reasons does Libby offer why there are not more self-identified feminist?

Some reasons she offers is that people believed that feminist does not exist in society and it is a negative connotation. Also in her survey when she talked with male they believed that feminist is only pertain to women and not themselves.

3. Why does she think more people should identify themselves as feminist?

People should identify more of themselves as feminist because men and women should have equal rights and the right to choose.

Motivational Conference

I felt that the transfer Motivational Conference was interesting because there were different things that were shared about colleges and seeing many of the Chicanos who is first from their family to be going to college and further their education. I also felt the strong support from the leaders to hold this conference to motivate the Hispanic and other students to see what’s ahead for their future. I thought that our guest speaker Cruz Reynoso was great key speaker. I enjoyed how he emphasizes that they should bring back the traditional school where you don’t have to pay for college tuition. I have enjoyed my workshop which was Money Management given by Ana Cabezas & David Pereira. They have talked about the theory of money, saving money, and decision to be a full-time or part-time student. I have learned that the theory of money is on you meaning you need to know or change the way you spend your money and also don’t be blame others for you money mistakes. They also presented good and bad habits on credit cards and avoid different problems that will put you in debt. They also emphasized on being a full-time student will get you to your degree you want faster and looking at money scale comparing a full and part-time student. I also like their experiences they have shared which makes you realize that you need to make right choices when it comes to money during college. Overall, I have enjoyed this Motivational Conference

Anzaldua #2

Anzaldua structure for this essay is different from the other essay we have read because she begins her essay with a metaphor where she is getting the reader to think what this metaphor have to do with the essay. Then she brings in her introduction. Another difference of how she writes is that her writing is in both the English and Spanish language. This text makes it somewhat an academic and anti-academic essay. The way it’s an academic essay because it is composed of an introduction, body, conclusion, and at the end it show footnotes where it tells us that she did some research. This writing makes it an “anti-academic essay because she uses her opinions to what she is writing as to an academic essay uses other writers response, examples, and claims. I feel that Anzaldua writes her essay this way because she wants to give the reader a more clear aspect but at the same time make it difficult for others (non Spanish) to understand what she is saying. She is trying to get the reader to understand that different culture with more than on dialect should not be treated differently. I chosen “A language which they connect their identity to, one capable of communicating the realities and values true to themselves-a language with terms that are neither eespanol ni ingles, but both.” (10)
