" Danger of A Single Story"
What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
To me it means about how you judge the community about what you think about it, but its not what you would really see, and that you think about it the negative way, and not true.

2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
On the article about my community is that most race is African Americans and that its not all good or pretty that it is in the West side where the rich people stay. Also that Most schools in eastside are not passing and that there are mostly drop outs. Most people would learn that our community is mostly not poor but not so good and that its not a good community to live in. Another thing is that people can talk about our community and it can but sometimes not be true on what they are saying, and it can stop people from moving into our community. But really my community is not a bad place, its mostly teenagers that make it bad because the things that they do, but really just because you see something bad in the community, it can only be in that part or area and not anywhere else i the community.

3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?
In another community like in the West side of Austin is a really good community where all the rich people stay and there aren't any problems out there with anybody. I learned that story because my cousin lived out there and I always used to go to his house and the community he lived in wasn't like my community, when I first went to his house the houses that are around him might not be so good but its not the houses its the people that live there that make the community better.
4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
On a game you can give them more information about the community and maybe show them pictures of what it looks like and make them type on how they think that community is but than really tell them about that community.
