Reason- because there are many different meanings for the word intelligence. it can be anything from book smarts or street smart.
Warrant- book smart, common sense, street smart, and it can be in just one subject or maybe even two.

WEEK 9: Adrienne Rich
Discussion questions for “Taking Women Students Seriously” by Adrienne Rich
(The Reader, pg. 273)
1) In the beginning of her essay, Rich states that her experience at an all girls’ school was that her teachers gave her great “content” (hard skills, actual booklearnin’) but that they didn’t teach the girls how to “survive as women in a world organized by and for men” (soft skills, in my opinion). Later in her essay, she hints at some ways that teachers can give women more soft skills in education. What are they? How crucial do you think they are? Are they still relevant to today’s students? (Her speech was given in ’78, remember).
2) Rich outlines the questions for teachers, and makes it clear that she feels issues of race and class are pretty much the same as issues of gender, with regard to discrimination in the university setting. Do you agree? What are some key similarities or differences that you feel are important? Does the university still have work to do in remedying this area
1) how can we teach women to move beyound the desire for male approval and getting "good grades" and seek and write their own truths that the culture has distorted or made taboo? is one of the things that she says teachers could do to help women. the things she saids is pretty crucial because back then men were still getting used to the ideal of women in the work place and sometimes even women didn't know how to handle it. so it will help alot. now in todays world maybe not too much because more women believe in women empowerment and stuff like that and they are also a lot more independent than they used to be.
2) yes i kinda agree because no matter where you go discrimination can be anything. in race and class sometimes if someone is black or asian they might not get a job if most of the worker are white or if what is sold there is mainly for white people like clothes. in gender is just the same if there mainly men working there a woman may not get there job. I don't think there is much differences between the two. I don't think unversity work like that as much as it used but there are cases where if a school as major rage of one race they will pay for students of a different race to go there.

On Self Respect
1) Well the effect its suppose to have is to make us think about how those things in the stories go with self-respect. If we have read those books and we know what she is talking about, it could work with what she is trying to do. But because some of us haven't it makes us lost and almost like we need to go a read that story to understand what it is she is talking about. Now some she gave a good detail to the explains she used.
2) I think people could agree with these statements if they knew what was going on or what that story was about. These are a little hard to catch at first so you either have to reread or look up what she was talking about. Now with the whole adultery one I thinks its a good one because its so complex of a topic. To me its really something wrong and people shouldn't do it. And people do they normally don't tell people that they did do it. I don't think its really self-respect because if your with someone why would you cheat on them. Because the only way to have self-respect is to also be able to respect others as well. Because with self-respect people will see that you are honest and trust-worthy that they will respect you.
Some examples of the statements she used:
3) When your writing you have to practice and train yourself to do your work. You have to always practice and do your best in writing things. We have to be willing to let it grow and become as good as it can possible can be. Also writing is a habit to learn as well. we aren't born to writing we have to learn how to write and we have to practice it all the time.

Some examples of the statements she used:
- the careless, suicidal Julian English in Appointment in Samarra
- the careless, incurably dishonest Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby

Discussion #4
1) With the whole people bringing people down for many different reason is very touchy subject for me. I've gone my whole life pretty much with people telling me I can't do thing that I really liked because of my looks or talents. And it really does cause people to believe that they can only do what people tell them they can because they always have people tell them they can't. So they try to please everyone else but themselves. It is ,in a while, bulling because you are destorying someones self-esteem. But there are times when someone will over come and start making themselves happy beside other.
2) If teachers and students go every year with learning new thing or teaching new thing it will help them become better. In college it helps when teacher will tell us cool treats to help us in our classes. I think that once we've gotten to college we should be somewhat excited to go to school because we get to choose the school we want to go to.

How I write my paper
1)I normally look over my assignments at least three times before I start just to make sure I'm now the right track. And when I'm doing the paper I will look at it when I feel I'm getting off track. I feel that if I do that I'll have a better chance at getting the paper done correctly. The benefits of doing is you'll be able to get the paper done and with a chance of not having to chance a lot on it.
2)We will have to think of all things that we had done or seen to help write the paper. And because we don't have any other reference but ourselves we have to use every piece of evidence we have. If you use them all we won't have any doubt able our audience not believing our paper.
3)The whole myth part about writing was really helpful to me. Just its answered a lot of the question I had about writing. I think that we should talk more on this topic because its something I've had some problems with in high school. The Ability to Read Complex Texts, this has always been something I've had a hard time with.
4)To me they mainly the same thing. We need to have good grammar, correct spelling, and a topic that my audience can relate to. The only thing different is that when we turn it in you want everything we did.

Homemade
1) To me what "homemade" means something made with your own two hands. Homemade things to me are a good thing, maybe even better because when I make it I know it will work or fit me right. Like if I make a dress for prom I know it will be made with the best fabric, the best length and size, it will be me, and that its the only one in the world because I made it. Sometime when people see homemade clothes they think that its a sign of being poor and in the world we live in everyone what to have designer clothes. So a good example of this would be when a little girl in school see a girl with clothes made they may make fun of them. My parents have in a way educated themselves because that how they taught me while I was young. I know that they watched the news, would read the newspaper, and read books on what they wanted to learn.
2) Malcom X taught himself while in prison. Education isn't something everyone has to go to, its more of a chose. You could either decide to go to school or to not. Malcom X self taught himself because he wanted to become better.
3) If I was locked away in a cell I would learn more about my love for fashion designing and creating new things. My goal would to be a great fashion designer and have people wearing my clothes that I design. I would need to learn all the different kinds of fabrics and the different types of looks. I would just make awesome clothes and design that people would love to wear.

The Benefits I Can Get From Drafting
There are many benefits that you can get from drafting a paper with your own world views. In a way the way you think is already part of your thought processes so why not just keep going with your ideals. When you read papers that people write with there world views it opens your eyes to their world. So in a way its like getting to know them. So if I'm writing with my own world views I'm writing a paper that is me. Its not like a machine wrote it and this way people can see how I see the world. My thought process then begins to grow more with this and more ideals come to me then more complex the paper can become. It can even become deeper in a way. So thoses are the benefits I get from drafting a paper with my own world view.
