"This is Water" review

Literacy Narrative “This is water”

The “default setting” is a way of thinking that makes you believe everyone should do what you want them to or they’re doing it wrong and they’re useless. Thinking this way leads people to overlook things that they might enjoy, like if someone is sitting in their room and their parent asks them if they want to go to the grocery store and that someone says no, they might have just missed out on an opportunity to do something great or to see their friends or just have a good time.

 When In this mind set people especially me are very judgmental towards people that they have never even seen before. The person that is being judged might have had a bad day or they are sad because their family member or friend died sometime earlier. If people could just stop and think hey maybe this person is cooler than I thought maybe I should hang out with them it would make a big difference to that person.  While passing by someone just giving them a compliment could change their entire day or even just saying good morning or good afternoon.

  2. Cody, I was a little confused about your point of view of this literacy narrative. But at the end I really liked what you wrote about judgmental people. Good work!

  3. Cody, make sure to keep your focus on your ideas rather than a summary of the text.
