Answer:

Anticipation feels like that patient ticking of a clock. It sounds of a train passing by your stop. It looks like a million pictures all shaped together into a human-like creature. It smells like a classic movie scene about Nana's Homemade Pie. It tastes like the plastic of your pen as you chew on it, waiting for class to be over.

It is truly something. Not defined, yet everywhere. Not meaningless, yet treated as if it has not a statement to please. Its weird, anticipation. It feels like the word itself is a world of its own. Yet, it is simply a letter in a alphabet of manmade print made to simply communicate with one another.

Read this excerpt from "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift:

Korvikt [17]

First person

It takes a bit of reading into the passage to see what point of view it is, because there is little indication in the first paragraph. The first indication that it is written in first person is the use of "us" at the end of that first paragraph. Then, in the subsequent paragraphs the reader sees that the author uses "I" several times, indicating first person perspective.

When was a time that you falsely judged someone, or a group, through the lens of a single story?

kirill115 [55]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

When was a time that you falsely judged someone, or a group, through the lens of a single story?

It was precisely some while ago when I falsely believed that Native American people were still living like in the 1700s, during colonial American times.

I was so wrong, and it was the product of my prejudice.

You hear stories, you do not have the criteria to go investigate and find good sources, and you simply believe what you heard. And of course, this is a great mistake.

You have to go to search for proper sources and find what is true.

And the truth is that Native American Indian people are hard-working people, dedicated to maintaining their traditions and culture, while working in businesses, shops, hotels, services, trying to be productive and supporting their families, while being respectful to the United States laws and principles.

So please, do not believe in what you just hear. Go make your research and find the truth. Do not believe in stereotypes or prejudices.
