Something to think about

Literacy to me is knowing and understanding certain catagories of jargon or speech. Just being able o comprehend and commicate with someone speaking that way. Certainly most parents are teenage iliterate and most teens dont want them to understand anyway so it works out well. I have all kinds of different literacies i think. Besides english and spanish, i can understand certain jargons from my different types of friends. Its good to be able to understand all of these different ways of communicating. It broadens your outlook on everything you come in contact with there after. The more experiences you have the more you are prepared for the unexpected. Having these literacies at your use allows a person to sit back and just observe how things are working around you. It gives you an understanding of it all. It all meaning life. So i guess i could say that literacy is an understanding of what is being communicated to you and around you. It is of major importance in our lives. Being able to communicate with others that are different than ourselves is key factor to be successful in today's world. You never know what or who you're going to cross paths with next so you should know as much as possible about how others communicate. Coming to college and being at purdue certainly is developing my literacies as well as adding a few to the list. And ofcourse my english class will help with that too.
