Morrison reading-
In the reading “ Being Seen and Not Seen: A Black Female Body in the Writing Center” it focuses on the experience of a writing center as a black women's perspective. She talks about how in these scenarios black women are have power and are seen, or they do not have power and are not seen in the writing center. In writing centers race can impact how interactions go with one another. She believes that black women should be able to have the same experience as anyone else. People should be more inclusive with people of color. They should have a realization to show empathy towards black women in the centers. My personal opinion on this is I agree, I think everyone should be treated equally no matter the race. To make black women feel more recognized we should make them feel seen and heard. I enjoyed this article because it’s not often that we talk about specifically African Americans experiences or thoughts in school often. I think it is a very important topic and we should learn more of other races and cultures.
Issac reading -
In the reading by Issac, “Sacred Pages: Writing as a Discursive Political Act” it talks about how writing is powerful and has the ability to make changes and strong statements , such as political ones. In these writings you can express the truth, and your personal opinions on topics. These can be social or political. My reflection of the reading is that it is important to write about social or political topics. This is a great way to express yourself as well as have others learn your beliefs and values. I have never thought of writing about those topics and this reading opened up the idea to me. My question that I am left with is how would you make your writing not so biased, or would it be better that way for these topics?
