this is where I really learn a lot about it and it answer all my questions not only for me but for anyone else who had questions about it which I think there was a lot of people who had the same questions. This was actually my favorite part in this term and I got a lot  of feed back from this because it was a question that not only me was trying to understand but others were wondering too.

I always wonder to myself since I was a kid why are jeans so popular in the world. I started noticing as a kid that jeans is not only a fashion in America but in the whole world. Everyone knows what jeans are and i always wonder why they become so popular? the fact that jeans for some people are common and basic fashion makes me wonder how did it all started and who created this idea and new look. I did some research and found out that jeans were invented in 1873 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. In 1848 when the California gold rush became big people need working clothes that would last long and can take damage. They are people discovered jeans they became working clothes for everyone who wanted to work hard all day long. ” Jeans were working clothes at first. They were made from durable materials and could last long” its what they described. At the year 1960 the clothes came back from the dead and became fashion in peoples eyes. They said that a movie call “Rebel without a Cause” become a great reason why they become so popular. After that jeans became a high fashion design that people will say that it would never run out style. Now a days jeans can be worn by mostly any one of different ages and genders.

I actually liked this story because when we would go back to class a lot of classmates had a lot of things to say. It looks like this one really impacted others as a whole. Perhaps this took this one as something similar in there life style of maybe they took is a something relatable like ill take most stories on this term.

pg. 4 ” Think of a favorite food (I’m sure you have many, but pick one for now.).
Why do you like it? What can you say about that food that conveys why
that food is enjoyable to you? It is not enough, really, to say that you like
it “because it tastes good.” In this sense, good just becomes an empty word
that doesn’t really say anything.”

I didn’t know that this way you can start a meaning praise. Just the way he goes with saying that the word good becomes an empty word and it doesn’t really say anything about it. I guess in his sense you have to be more specific about the this you like and why do you like them not just say that you like it because its not saying much about it.

pg. 5 ” It is easy (and somewhat distracting!) to come up with details to describe the foods we like; but, what about writing we like? Why do we like
it? What does it mean to “like” an opening sentence, an image, an insight?”

Back to what I was saying in the last comment he tells us that its better to describe what we like instead of just saying that we like it. Doing that is not going to show much about or like and dislikes. I guess we just have to elaborate more with things.

pg. 5 ”  Are you a reader who likes detail in the form of facts and data—such
as a newspaper article about Dustin Pedroia’s injury, one that provides statistics showing how well the Red Sox play when he has been in the line-up
compared to their win-loss record without him?

This shows how you can take anything from anywhere and still be able to come up with a meaningful raise of your opinion. Giving options like getting them from the newspaper and other places.

When I first read this story I have a lot of questions to ask. As the more I read I feel like my questions were answered because they would parts where you can ask a question from the beginning then will more likely be answered the more you read later on in the story. The comments from others made me also understand more about it.

In the story James Baldwin shows his signs of curiosity. He describes how where he lives is much different then were he went to visit. He describes how the place he visited was much more cleaner and better than the place he lived on. He then keeps going about how the people in this places are always cleaning the place and making look nice basically taking care of it like if they own the place and its their property. Then he mentions how his places looks compare to the other place and describes it as ghetto. He mention how it was dirty and you can see stuff like people with drugs and whore and etc. He then is curious as to why is this place more cleaner and nicer then his home town. He then argues that in order to meaningfully address the problem of racism in America students have to gain a greater consciousness and fight for equality. He talks about the different right each of them get. He then mentions that kids should also have a great consciousness. He says “All this enters the child’s consciousness much sooner than we as adults would like to think it does. As adults, we are easily fooled because we are so anxious to be fooled. But children are very different. Children, not yet aware that it is dangerous to look too deeply at anything, look at everything, look at each other  and draw their own conclusions”. This will show his thoughts on the topic of curiosity and consciousness. He also mentions ” They don’t have the vocabulary to express what they see, and we, their elders, know how to intimidate them
very easily and very soon”. I guess what he means by that is that its normal for a child to be acting this kind of way.
