CA Everyday Use

I will admit that when I was reading these two stories I had more stronger opinions about some of the characters and had to minimize some of my opinions. They made me think a lot about some of the things I learned about when I sat in on some court cases with my husband Jesse the other day. The criminal justice system deals a lot with race and ethnicity. In my geography class we went over the difference between race and ethnicity which was important when interpreting these stories. My opinion didn’t really change as I read them or went through and interpreted them. I found credible sources on the internet and I looked for either government sources or something that had a lot of support for what it was saying. Academic sources use a lot more technical language than most other cites and the authors have a lot of research put into their web pages and what they wrote. I had a difficult time following “Everyday Use” at first, but as I went through the story I was able to understand who was who. I also had a difficult time finding sources to put into my essay because I interpreted it based on how I felt about it and my experiences in my life. I enjoyed the stories and interpreting them because I like understanding more of the meaning behind things.

This was a difficult paper, but I enjoyed picking apart the story.
