'Danger of a Single Story'

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

To have only one idea about a place or race or just like a person that looks acertain way.

Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?

The single story I have herd about my community is that every body on the east side is dumb.But that's not true because I go to a school full of smart people from the east side.

Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?

Well when I was little I spent allot of time with my grandma.She had a single story about North Austin (i.e Ceder Park, Leander,e.x),that they all were white rich snobby people that looked at people from East Austin like they were dirt. Then one time me and my mom went up there to do something and they didn't act like that the people up their were brown like me it wasn't at all what my grandma told me. I had a single story about them and i wasn't true at all.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

Maybe if we made like options for people to go to the slums or to the high class of India and show different life styles so people don't get a single story.

A New Year

Well this is my 9th grade year also know as freshmen year also the first year as high school. It was not how i expected it to be. I have been planing this year for a long time and I thought I would be scared but really it was nothing new. I kinda don't like that we are with the 7th and 8th graders even though we're high schoolers it kinda gets on my nerves....They should have just stayed at the Jain Lane campus and not have added the the elementary. And don't even get me started with the schedules kids were everywhere and it was just a mess. We had our schedules changed at least 3 times.

Some of my plans were to be in a play. BUT they had to cancel Theater arts so yeah oh well...... Some other plans are to go head on in some my game for this year I want a good game and I want it to look professional. I also want to be into the art scene more because I really like art but I'm not that good at it. Oh well I still like it.
