     Structural racism has been affecting people of color for many years, because of this they have no opportunities with education, jobs, wealth, taxes, voting, healthcare, and housing treatment. This exists because of white supremacy, white people placing themselves on the top and putting black and other minorities at the bottom. 

No matter how many protests about racism nothing is done to help people of color Racism can be stopped, and laws can be put into place but the U.S and the government choose not to so “everyone has an opportunity”. My main focus on the audience is the congress. I’m targeting representatives, they can introduce solutions, offers, and amendments. Bowman might have some sort of power to alter or put in a law to protect people of color from structural racism. 

 

    Over the years, I see structural racism is real. I became interested because I’m coming to an age where I will be an adult soon. I want to succeed in life and be able to reach high class, but structural racism is taking any opportunity I have. I’m worried racism might affect me the way it’s affecting adults.  In my letter I will be targeting one specific audience. Jamaal Bowman is a United States Presentative, a democratic, he served in the house from 2011 till now. My letter would consist of a congress of the united states title up top, below the date, the name of the representative I am trying to target. Under the state, the district, and party, and time he served. I will be explaining to Jamaal Bowman how racism is affecting people of color, and their communities. I’ll be trying to convince him to make changes since he is still serving in the house. I will be incorporating some people of color we lost because of racism, and white privilege. This letter would be a short, personal, and  direct speech to Jamaal. 

     Jamaal might have been convinced, bringing my personal thoughts and how it would affect not only me but the kids in this generation might have opened his eyes a little bit. Maybe instead of targeting one audience from the congress I should have targeted a group, they may all read my letter, have a meeting about it and at least talk about that being the first step. This was kind of easy in a way it’s a real thing happening everywhere in society. Having this as a college project was a good thing, I wanted to get the people in charge of making these laws to at least notice how it’s affecting people of color. All the protests have not been working so maybe expressing how it will affect kids might give them a little sympathy. 




Know you publication Question

The site that I’m planning to publish my work is on Instagram as I feel that is best to reach out to the audience that should probably read about my research and topic.

  1. Instagram has a lot of stuff there, Instagram is a social media website where anyone can could post whatever they want on there for there friends or family to see. People also use it to post funny clips or informative information to spread awareness to one another.
  2. Depends on what the account is about really, like for example @nycfc.source which is an Instagram account that post anything that is related to New York City Football Club as its a fan account. Just by looking at their account and their bio they’re audience is for fans of NYCFC and soccer fans.
  3.  They’re post aren’t too long normally unless its about transfers but it’s usually straight to the point so users can understand what’s going on quickly.
  4. The tone are either laid back, informative or emotional as they give update on what’s going on during games and after games.
  5. They use casual and formal diction for the most part
  6. They gather they’re information/data from interviews, quotation, reporters, etc and give them credit at the end
  7. They’re presentation using have edited photos that either give valuable information there or at the caption
  8. Doing something like this would be a good way to reach out to my audience and Instagram would be good publication since mostly every teenager and young adult has it.

Part 2

I’m thinking of posting like 10 posts on Instagram data, good edited photos to attract my audience to see the post and read the caption which would have all the information briefed and understandable for everyone to understand the purpose of the post.

KNOW YOUR PUBLICATION QUESTIONS // Unit 3 schedule: Part 1

    1. Fairy tales, science fiction, mystery, children’s stories, study guides, and much more.
    1. I believe their audience mainly consists of children, mainly due to the genres they showcase at the forefront of their catalog. Such as fairy tales, science fiction, mystery, children’s stories, etc.
    1. The pieces can typically be read in 5-10 minutes.
    1. The tone, depending on the story, is usually either casual, or enthusiastic, the tone of a story is never too serious.
    1. Formal diction is either casually or enthusiastically delivered to the reader trying to figure out more of the genre they’re visiting.
    1. When they cite evidence, they insert images found on the sources website to grant more insight. Additionally, they highlight they italicize the sources, the quotes found in said source, and information the source contains.     
    1. The website isn’t all black and white. Once you open the website, you’ll notice the background is in beige. Random images of popular genre’s on its website are posted, with the image of it’s genre as well to grab the readers attention. Lastly, as you scroll down the homepage, you’ll notice that most of the genre’s that are in the websites catalog are scattered throughout the homepage. Only the most popular genres are found on its homepage.
    1. This publication forum would be a marvelous place to reach my intended audience, due to the fact that my short story is a fictional narrative about the life of the species closely related to the Locc ness monster. Since science fiction is a genre in this forum’s website, this is perfect for the direction I want to go in. The audience seems like it’s mainly American children and that’s great for me because that’s the demographic I want to reach out to the most. This website is ideal for my story.

    Part 2:

    • I need to find a mentor text still
    • I need to figure out which species specifically I want to write about in my short story
    • Once I specify the species I want, I gotta do research on said species.

    Schedule:

    Week of 11/27- Find mentor text and identify which species you’d like to research. After doing so, begin conducting research on it.

    Week of 12/4: Research on species should be finished.

    Week of 12/11: Finish short story on unit 3.
