Every City Tech (and CUNY) student takes Composition I, which features reading and writing assignments that will help prepare you for college and beyond. Together we will work on communicating effectively, building an argument, adapting your writing for different needs and situations, interpreting and responding to a text, and incorporating and citing secondary source material. We will be reading pieces both for their inherent literary and informational value and also as models for our own writing projects. Sharing your own ideas and experiences and adding your voice to our discussions will enrich our class community.

Acknowledgments
This course is based on the following course(s):
This article is about a women who’s poetry was influenced and created by her surroundings as she grew up. She talks about how the discussions her mother and other ladies had about the racial discrimination they faced, the political state of the world, and gossips about others; made her appreciate language and gave her a better exposure when writing her poetry.
The point of view lies over poetry being a major influence for her. Her dealing with discrimination and being miss treated, her experience with the issues and people around her pushed her forward. (Sorry for the short comment)
