The biggest crisis that occurred in Flint was that the government was trying to utter that the water was safe to drink while knowing it was definitely not safe.

Title of Article + Proper MLA Citation for Works Cited page Fishman, A. (1986, November 30). Literacy and Cultural Context: A Lesson from the Amish. Retrieved September 02, 2020, from https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ363335

Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words While reading this story, I began to realize that throughout the story the characters mainly focused on reading to their children for bedtime. They were mainly focused on where the books were and how much they valued reading. They wanted the children to really have a strong understanding on why reading books are important and they should take reading serious. There are many different types of words and writing located in many places, so they try to enforce enough knowledge into their children, so one they become grown, they will truly understand and know how to read and write. I really enjoyed reading this because my parents were the exact same way when I was growing up.

Title of Article + Proper MLA Citation for Works Cited page Gee, James. “What Is Literacy.” Http://Jamespaulgee.com/Pdfs/Gee%20What%20is%20Literacy.Pdf, 1989.

Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words In the story, the author mainly talks about a linguists and it goes into further detail about a linguists. He also gets into detail about different types of literacy and how we as people use literacy in different ways. He continues to discuss how it affects humans and society as a whole. I have noticed that everyone doesn’t use literacy in the same way. The articles continue to conversation about the many contrasting people using literacy in many contrasting places and how we also use different languages. Lastly, the article talked about how we chose things to attain and objectives we’ve learned in class. To many people, you will become more fluent with the language you’ve grown prone to your whole life instead of a language you’ve just found about yesterday.
