Questions for Discussing and Journaling:
6. I think for men it is harder for them to in touch with their feminine side, than it is for women to get in touch with their masculine side. At least for me, I feel that I can understand how boys think because I tend to hangout with boys more. But, for some girls, it may be harder for them to get in touch with that masculine side because where they are in society doesn't help. Guys would rather not talk about girl things, such as shopping, because it's not something they have interest in, where as for girls, talking about sports isn't as bad or weird for them.
7. Students are starting to understand different discourses which makes it easier for them to write about. For example I never understood what a discourse community was until this class and I just wrote a 6 page paper on it.
A&E:
3. I believe that normal gendered people and transgender people can have the sakes views on discourse communities. I think that they can have different views on something when you are transgender because i'm sure at one point in your life you were normal gendered. This gives you more views on life and allows you to look at discourse communities in a broader view.

Delpit and smitherman
Q&J:
1. I believe if you know the authors race, you tend to look the the writing differently and/or read it differently. People would judge her on her opinions based on her race. But, in some circumstances, knowing the race can be very important. Knowing the race can be important if the writing is for a specific race. Knowing the race is important because then people can base the opinions off if they need to. This argument in my opinion can go both ways.
2. I believe people are born into different and certain discourse communities, therefor i agree with Delpit. Although you are born into a certain discourse, you can change into a different one as your grow older. Although you can change into a different discourse, I believe that most people stay in the discourse community that they were born into because it is most comfortable for them.
A&E:
3.
I think generalizing topics can be effective and problematic. Generalizing can put a judgement on people that may not necessarily be true. It can lead to stereotyping which can sometimes be very offensive to people. Also, generalizing can also help people, and make things a lot easier for people.
Smitherman:
Prereading:
Honestly, I have judged someone on how they spoke without seeing them. Sometimes when you hear how someone talks, they might not have the best grammar, or speak like what you are used to hearing. This seems to be a problem that almost everyone goes through. They put a prejudgement on someone without truly getting to know someone. Based on how someone speaks, you may start to judge their appearance without knowing it. Trying your best not to judge someone on their speech can be very difficult.
A&E:
1. There is a very big difference in these two writings. The grammar is completely wrong. Reading the first title, I imagine a proper educated person saying that. Rather than the second statement, I imagine it being said by an uneducated person. Reading these two different statements, you seem to base your opinion of who it is said by based on culture, and how it appears to you.

3. Starting with a memory makes the writing more interesting. Starting with a memory also makes the writing more personal. I love reading stuff that starts with a memory because it makes it easier to relate to what the writer is trying to say.
4. Reading poems have always been hard for me. It takes me awhile to comprehend what they poems are conveying. Therefor, the poems made the reading harder for me rather than easier.
8. Not knowing whether or not the author to something was color or not, is beneficial. It makes it easier to relate to the writing, because you are not judging.
Applying and Exploring:
2. Using memories is very important in texts. I believe that it makes text more personal and easier to relate to. It also makes the reading more interesting. Memoria is important because it really helps the reader understand and relate to everything better, making it easier to comprehend that they are trying to convey.

Questions for Journaling and Discussion:
2. I believe that the time in which something is written is extremely important. When reading someone else's writing, it is very easy to tell what is quickly written, or what takes times to write. But, everyone is different when it comes to writing. Some people write better when they are under pressure and write quicker and better. Others, need more time to write, making sure it's perfect and exactly what they wanted to write about.
3. Every time I read about women in the past or in our history, they always are looked at as less than men. They are looked at the "house wife", cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the family while the men are all working. Now, because everyone has that past view on women, I do not believe that people really take into consideration what women are saying, and look at the men being more right.
5. Women and men usually tend to clique better with people of their own gender. Such as growing up, usually girls are more comfortable around their moms, as well as boys being more comfortable around their fathers.
AE:
4. I believe that Flynn was very feminist during her writing. She discusses a lot of things that she found interesting rather than seeing both sides to many things. This can make it difficult to readers because she was generalizing during her writing.
5. Gender plays a very big role in writing. Men and women always seem to generalize while they are writing. You can usually tell when a writing is more feminine or masculine based on their language in the writing.

Intro and synthesis
okay i know i can defiantly write better than this... but this is what i've came up with so far!
Synthesis:
My essay is
going to be reflecting the discourses of the sororities here at Ohio
University. In this discourse there are many other discourses below it
including all the different sororities here. This topic is interesting to me
because I have just joined this discourse community. Devitt talks about the
enthrographic field. I feel that I am a part of that right now. Enthrographic
field is observing and seeing how the discourse community works together
instead of reading about it.
Intro:
A discourse
community is a group of people coming together to do something. Every sorority
here at Ohio University has a special close bond. They come together every day,
work together, live together too. This discourse community comes together in
many different ways. They come together through the philanthropy, living
together, communication, planning events, advertising, the special language
that is used, and goals that make the chapter stronger as a whole.

Questions for Discussing and Journaling:
2. For every class I seem to write differently. In some classes it is easier for me to pull something together, not using full sentences and just usually giving simple statements. As where for this class I write in full sentences and usually paragraph form. I try my best to use correct grammar and use my best writing ability.
3. At Ohio University we have many discourse communities. One big discourse community I think of is living locations. Whether you live on west, south, east, or what specific dorm you live in, and then what floor. Other big discourse communities we have are clubs, sororities, classes, colleges. These discourse communities help shape who you are and help you meet people who have similar things in common with you.
Applying and Exploring Ideas:
3. The enthrographic field allows you to research in a different way. You can find out things that you wouldn't be able to find out before. Observing a person in this way allows you to see how the physically act in a discourse community.
Meta Moment:
I think learning in an enthrographic way is more interesting and fun. It allows you to see how people actually act in a discourse community rather than just reading a boring article.

Questions for journaling and discussion:
1. I believe that it is important for us to include gay and lesbian discourses in the classroom because it can cause conflict if not. It can also make children feel uncomfortable. By including the gay and lesbian it makes the classroom more comfortable and makes those discourses a whole and not feel as left out. It also puts on a good role model as a teacher including those kids, for the other kids around. The less judgmental people are the more comfortable the classroom is and the more comfortable it is for learning.
2. This article talks a lot about how women are looked at completely different then men. Women are looked at as needy, weak, and annoying. By Harriet sharing her story, you hear what she had to go through as a slave and how that impacts her today. She explains how women can be just as strong as men and the experience she went through made her the strong, confident person she is today.
11. Until I read this story I never really thought of how offensive the word "queer" can be to people. It has so many different meanings to so many different people, especially in different discourse communities. Using this word causes more and more struggles for the gay and lesbian discourses. Reading about this really made me realize how offensive it can be.
Applying and Exploring:
2. I completely agree with the fact that women can be looked at differently. Many men judge women and believe that they are not as strong as them. This can be very hurtful to many women. Although some women let that judgement get to them, there are other women in the world who are some of the most successful people in the world. Knowing that men can be judgmental about women makes me stronger. There is a part of me that makes me want to prove to them that women are just as good as men and men do not have leadership over us, we are all equal.
Meta Moment:
When reviewing about this lesson with my teacher, I think he will talk a lot about the different discourse communities. I believe he will talk about how the discourse communities impact other discourse communities too.
