Reading and Writing are Superpowers*
In my essay I used ideas from Kwame Anthony Appiah and Kenji Yoshino. I used in total eight quotes and also gave my opinion on what I thought identity was and how it has affected me and others around me. Me personally I find it easy to quote people and give my own thoughts on …
In the essay that I wrote I believe that integrating others ideas was a big part of writing a successful essay. This is a big part because others show you in your essay their point of view in how you are doing. Sometimes while you are writing you may think of something in your head …

In the United States, the Civil rights law has always been a problem. The civil rights law states “the rights of citizens to political and social …
The paradigm rights of civil rights and equality is about how homosexuals are treated poorly and their civil rights were almost non existent. This lawyer wring out the identity of being a homosexual during this time period and what they were treated like and how they acted to keep themselves safe from harm. He believes …
I feel like there are two different groups of people that face societal demands and must hide their true selves, compared to letting themselves be free and expose their true selves to the societal world. One group is the African American culture and the other is Women, even though racism towards the African American culture isn’t …
