1.) What does it mean to have a single story about a community or place?: To have a single story means that every person has their own perspective and that they think that you are this person, based on what little they know about you. For example, when people think of African Americans, they think that they are poor and that they starve. Well, that's what people hear, but when it comes to knowing what they are really like, you are wrong.
2.) Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn about that community?: Well, I have heard adults and other people to not go to LBJ High School. They say that it is a bad school because they have a bad neighborhood. People say that, but have they been there? Do they know what it is like? They are just making assumptions about the school. I'm really not going to say that because I haven't experienced the school. Now, if people have been there and they say that it is a bad school, that's another thing.
3.) Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?: Another thing, is that people say that the East Side is the worst side to live in. They say that there are lots of black people and that people drop out from school. Well, the East Side is good, where some people live. Some people can't understand that there's not enough money to buy a house and pay the rent. I have learned to appreciate what you have because other people in other places, don't even have money to eat.

I agree with you that it is complicated that a lot of people judge other people by the way they look if they are that type it is hard to be judged and you can't do anything about it . Your so right .
