If you could share one dish from your culture or family traditions with someone who has never tried it, what would you choose? What would you want that person to understand about you or your culture through that dish?

 Response: I would share the tetrazzini that my mom makes. She got the recipe from a newspaper clipping so I don't know if it really counts as food from our culture but whatever. It is a really tasty dish that I think has a lot of unique flavor that I would share with other people. I don't really know what else to say so to fill up space Mr Rease in the off chance you read this start posting the blog post earlier I'm begging you.

Summary: We worked on our food Traditions PowerPoint.

Reflection: I don't have a concrete culture ngl. Food isn't really that important to me either.

Write about an experience when someone assumed something about you because of a stereotype. What was the situation, and what did you do?

 Response: I have been a gifted kid since I was in elementary school. Because of this I have been labeled as a smart kid who is good at all of my subjects without really ever having to try. People have asked me questions in class because I have been labeled the "smart kid" and there have been many times where I just stare at them blankly because I don't understand the question. A lot of teachers just assume I should know everything and will get extra frustrated with me because I am somehow supposed to know these things and it makes me really dejected when I dont know because they seem disappointed in me. Summary: We had an introduction to stereotypes. Reflection: I thought it was not very fun to think up stereotypes for a bunch of different groups of people.

In “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, the mother provides her daughter with numerous expectations about how a girl should behave. Reflect on a specific gender expectation within your culture that has been challenging for you to navigate. Then describe one clear example of this expectation and explain why it has been difficult for you. Keep your response concise, vivid, and focused on your personal experience.

 Response: Men are expected to dress a certain way that I could never really conform to. Fashion sense is usually reserved for women so a man adapting any sense of style, especially one like mine is seen as very feminine. Because of my sense of style many people have assumed I was a girl and told me that I must be a girm because of the way I dress. I have a wide variety of styles that I wear but I often get criticized for tucking in all my shirts and wearing my pants high waisted. Also since I dress semi-formal in my day to day I can get weird looks, especially from other men. Despite this I am very proud of my fashion sense even if it makes me feel a little ostracized from other men. Summary: We read "Girl" and answered questions about it. Reflection: I found this poem/passage a really interesting read. I think it portrayed expectations on women in a very engaging and unique style.
