talking point #1 delpit

This article was interstiting to me here are some of the quotes that caught my attention....

"In 1991 84 people more than half of whom were 21 or younger were murder in the percent a year later 10 were shot dead on a street"

This is very scary especially since the place that they are talkin about is just hours away from where we live.

"mother sent him to the store to get pizza. 3 slices- one for mother, one for father and one for me... saw a homeless man who told him he was hungry. But he was too cold to move his mouth he  pointed to the pizza so I gave him some.  Were your parents mad at you? Why would they be? God told us to share"

I like this quote because this boy and his family are struggling to get by an he still is willing to give to someone less fortuante than him.  There are people in the world who have everything they need and way more and they will not help out those in need at all.

"Their indirectness was an attempt to lessen the power"

This is very interesting and I think that it means that by being indirect with a person they will feel less powerfull and feel down on themselves as if they are not as superior as the other person.  The person is "silencing their dialogue" by making them feel this way.
