After reading the papers You Better Think Before You Spit and The Puerto Rican Student Association, There are many things to take out of both pieces of writing. The first Essay talks about the project S.P.I.T which is a safe space for creatives. This organization did wonders for the community as people who would have usually been sitting in their house could get out and prove their talents creatively. I really enjoyed this paper and didn’t notice anything wrong with it. The second paper talked about how the continuous natural disasters and economic crisis in puerto rico has caused a lot of them to move to the united states. The Cities that are most popularly talked about when this is brought up are orlando, new york, and miami. Many clubs have been started at colleges to make puerto rican students feel welcome and at home. I also really enjoyed this essay and didn’t find anything wrong with it.
