Answer:
"Late at night I usually go to the bathroom multiple times, but for the past four days, every time I go to leave, I can see myself still standing in the mirror from the corner of my eye. It is like the other me is watching me leave the bathroom. It terrifies me to the point where I almost run out without looking directly at the mirror. I never told my husband about it because I didn't want to acknowledge it out loud.
"Earlier today I took a nap in our bed while he sat in the chair next to it watching TV. When I woke up he told me that he had seen me sit up and crawl backward to the edge of the bed and stand up in front of our bedroom door from the corner of his eye. He thought it was weird that I got up like that because I'm in the last month of my pregnancy and I can't really move so well without it hurting, so he tried talking to me.
"When I didn't answer he looked at the door to find me not there and still sleeping in bed. I got really creeped out and I finally told him about what I have been seeing in the bathroom. He thought it was creepy as well but didn't want to really talk about it anymore because he thinks it will give whatever it is power or energy. I have no idea what it wants or why we both saw it."

Answer:
Mr. Lewis believes that everything should be put out there for the world to see, he doesn't believe in keeping silent in the face of the crimes gangs are committing around the neighborhood.
Maverick believes in keeping silent and following the unwritten rule of the neighborhood about snitching.
Explanation:
Mr. Lewis doesn't believe in keeping silent in the face of the crimes gangs are committing around the neighborhood, he pointed out that unlike the rest of the neighborhood he isn't scared of king. As a war veteran he thinks the dangers he faced such as his prosthetic leg and the scar on his stomach "after some white boys cut me 'cause i drank from their fountain" are much more serious experiences compared to "King's games". "I done face a whole lot worse than some so-called king. Ain't nothing he can do but kill me, and if that's how how i gotta go for speaking the truth, that's how how i gotta go".
Mr. Lewis pointed out the relative absurdity of gangs compared to racial segregation and war, and how they lead to dissention within a community that must stick together in the face of oppression. He called out the way in which King uses silence and fear to control everyone in Garden Heights including Maverick.
Maverick calls Mr. Lewis crazy for snitching on live television, saying that "Man, you cant be going on live TV, snitching like that. You a dead man walking, you know that, right?". He believes in following the unwritten code of minding your own business and not snitching, to protect himself and his family.
Maverick was once a gang member and he knows how gangs work "Nah, but I know how the game work", so trying to live a clean life he thinks keeping silent and keeping his family safe is what is more important to him than doing what he knows isn't even going to change anything around the neighborhood.
For the speaker:
1. Speak loud and clear, so that everyone in the room hears what you're saying.
2. Know your audience. Speak to them so that they understand what you are saying.
3. Exert confidence, making sure everyone knows you are sure of what you're saying, leaving no room for them to second guess what it is you said.
For the listener:
1. Be prepared to listen and understand.
2. Be respectful. No talking, eating or really doing anything really distracting while the speaker is speaking.
3. Look engaged when the speaker talks. Make it seem as if you are genuinely intrigued by what they are saying.
