As Texas farm towns lose residents, those who stay face challenges, to explain the challenges that residents on farms have faced many challenges and still are facing challenges. I think this because each subtitle is explaining a different challenge that residents have faced and are facing. They learned who they truly are by facing the challenges that were thrown at them and enjoying the small peaceful place that they are in.

I think this is because it shows Mr. Ratburn marrying another man, and it tells us how different people thought about the show airing. Mr. Ratburn and Patrick already knew who they were, but their an inspiration to anyone that don't feel validated in their sexuality. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782495286 Born Dancing opens stage to all, including those with disabilities 07sajsha52167 https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782495446 the purpose of this article was to inspire children or people in general with disabilities and give them the chance to realize they can do whatever they put they're mind to. I think the author wrote this article for this specific reason because the author presented us with what disabled kids accomplished and said.

Johnson and Sylvia Rivera: Stonewall activists of '70s" The central idea of this article is to provide us with knowledge that there have been countless activists for lgbtq+ rights throughout the years, even back in the 70's. I think this is the authors purpose because the article greatly explains the protests and issues Marsha faced in order to help the community. Marsha truly learned who she was when she was just a child. She noticed that the stereotypical boy agenda did not fit her and later found that she was comfortable with the average female agenda. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782495516 Ashton Jimenez 07ashjim60838 https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782496720 "College football player's lunch date with a boy with autism" is a story about how an act of kindness went viral in late 2016. The author's purpose for writing was to reveal what Travis Rudolph did to brighten Bo Paske's day.

The reason the author wrote this article is to present to society the truth about the history that African-Americans hold, and how it affects everyone in the future. I believe that because John Lewis stated, "Let this museum show the complete truth," so as a reader I can assume he wants to reveal the truth to everyone. John Lewis learned that he is a true fighter and will not give up on this given opportunity, this built monument will soon inspire many human beings from around the world.]]> 2021-09-30 20:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782497572 julieta 06julper52243 https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782497917 "Do we have different laughs for different occasions?"
The author's purpose is to describe that we code-switch our laughs depending on the setting.

The readers know that they code-switch on a daily basis then we think we do. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782497917 Rebecca Parra 06rebpar62398 https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782498042 "Mr. Ratburn comes out as gay and gets married in "Arthur" season premiere" The author's purpose of writing this article was to present more maturity in a kids T.V show. Showing that these experiences or ways in life will come to you one day or sooner as life happens to be. I think this is the author's purpose because the creator is demonstrating the way people respond to this certain episode. People have their own opinions, especially older, more mature, people because they have more of an idea of what is happening to them or others. The character, Mr. Ratburn, already knew his special person, who he loved, but he is now presenting that to others they have someone to look after. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782498042 06carjas61707 https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782498661 'Celebrating Multiple Holidays'

The authors purpose on writing " Dream Jobs " was to inform the audience. They were informing the audience on what an individual went through and where he came from to be a mayor.

The authors purpose for writing this article is to show that many things that can seem impossible can be accomplished by not giving up and also giving it your all.

The author's purpose for writing this article is to elaborate LGBT representation in kid shows. I think it shows that LGBT people are regular people and shouldn't be hidden away just because they're different. People obviously had mixed opinions about it due to personal beliefs. Some parent thought that their kids shouldn't exposed to gay marriage while others loved it. It shows that things deemed as "controversial' will always have backlash for certain groups of people.]]> 2021-09-30 20:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782507243 Andrea Castillo 07andcas50284 https://padlet.com/kokafor/vrb20pq69nuon42w/wish/1782511076 ""The Casagrandes" extols Mexican-American life via animation" shows how a different point of view of the loud house and how different families deal with things differently.
