In "The Category is Royalty", the creator  is trying portray the extremes that the kids and the mother go through to just escape their own harsh reality. They are willing to deal with the consequences of stealing the royal gowns just to feel powerful and confident among the rest of the contestant in the ballroom show. The feeling of winning is overbearing to them from their consequences. They try to "escape" as much of their reality as they can and that is why they participate in those fashion shows.

The royal gowns that were worn by the subordinate groups  in Pose's video can be compared to the style of Beyonce's video. They both wore fancy  gowns that represented power and wealth back in that time period. There were people that were trying to feel the same power that white people once had.

Main Idea
- A school system where everyone gets fair treatment no matter what you identify as or where you grew up.
- Talk mostly about slang terms and vernacular terms.
- The children's success is based on what they are taught. "a language of acceptance is a link to their success."
Common Ideas
- "To dismiss a child's words only to diminish their identity"- the principle
- Kids are not instantly discriminated in Lucy Laney's school.
-The teachers try to respect all kids.
- We connected to " the danger of a single story" just because you are being taught one way doesn't mean that it is the wrong way.
Audience
- School systems, Teachers, and higher authority in schools.
- Talking to teachers to tell them not to discriminate their students just because of skin color or ethnicity. Trying to understand their culture and teach them more about it.
-They are very passionate about teaching the kids both Black Vernacular and "stranded" English.

main Idea
-  When in class and she was smarter than others and people would call tell her she is as smart as a white person and that even though she is Anglo and how her father is white and her mother was Hispanic. "You aren't even Mexican you are Spanish" as her classmates said. She could see the difference of how the teachers acted towards her and other Hispanics. Teachers would say that if you didn't act/spoke like a white kids you wouldn't get the same opportunities.
Common Ideas
- Mexicans were being mistreated compared to the white kids
- teachers would mention how its best to act and speak like a white kids in order to achieve same opportunities.
- we compared it to "how to be a real Indian" because once again "you" are being told how to act and who you identify as.
Audience
-  People that had the same experience, Mestiza's and any one that wasn't a white american. We assume because she wants to reach out to those that have experienced that same treatment.

Main Idea
- Stuck wanting to speak English and living her Hispanic culture
- Teachers almost forced to speak English
- "Act" like an american
- Took two speech classes to get rid of any accent
- Being torn from her culture and what she wanted to become
Common Ideas
- This story goes along with "How to be a real Indian" because she is being told how to act and live her life. When the Indians kinda acted out of line of their culture they didn't seem to be "real Indians" even though they were actually just fisherman.
- Had to use her language to persuade.
Audience
-The audience is Americans, she is being shown how her and others Mexican students are being treated in American schools.
- She is writing for herself and the others that have to go through what she went to.
-Talking about her experience/what she had to go through, so those that are reading might be able to relate.

she would like to have someone tell her who she is instead of her finding it out herself.

Walk in someone else's shoes to understand that is happening.
People around us influence the way we act.

to inform the audience about the importance of looking at something with multiple stories/perspectives rather than one

Single stories emphasize how we are different rather than how we are similar.

People can envision something different about each stereotype that they have heard or know about.
Ex. people hear things about Africa that doesn't necessarily have to be true. People are "poor"
Indians- They are thought to be hunters but they end up being fisherman
Asians- Everyone has their own vision of races. Some places made her face more narrow than other places. Her facial features were different thought out all the reigns.

# data[].attributes.body
Just because you are from one country people will base you off from the environment/background
Ex. people drew a picture of her face but each reign saw her differently.

- They are trying to follow the stereotype even though they not all of them are true.
Ex. they are Indians that are fisherman not hunters

Do not always go with the first thing you hear about something you aren't sure about.

We have read the following texts this week:

Beyonce’, “Formation”

Pose, “The Category Is Royalty”

Pratt, “The Arts of the Contact Zone”

For this activity, you will create two posts that offer academic summaries of “The Category Is Royalty” and “The Arts of the Contact Zone”. Each post should have:

A focus on each text’s presentation of identity and creating “mixed” texts.

A “packed” introductory sentence

Sentences that use the creator’s name, signal verb, and concrete explanations of important ideas or moments

2-3 paragraphs that group the important ideas or moments logically.

If you finish the summary task:

1. Review your summaries of the previous texts.

2. Create a new post that notes what is missing from your previous summaries.

1. Explain what work you will need to do to use this summary in Assignment #2.

2. Connect this “review” post to the original summary post.
