They had been pieced by Grandma Dee and then Big Dee and . . . hung them on the quilt frames on the front porch and quilted them. One was in the Lone Star pattern. The other was Walk Around the Mountain. In both of them were scraps of dresses Grandma Dee had worn fifty and more years ago. Bits and pieces of Grandpa Jerrell?s paisley shirts. And one teeny faded blue piece, about the piece of a penny matchbox, that was from Great Grandpa Ezra?s uniform that he wore in the Civil Wa

The above paragraph is part of the story "Everyday use" and is said by Dee's mother, to show her disrespect about the family history.

Explanation:

In "Everyday use" we are introduced to Dee, a black woman who, after getting involved with movements that fight for black rights and for the acceptance of African culture in her American descendants, began to think that her mother and sister, do not represent what a black should represent in America.

The paragraph shown above, shows how disrespectful Dee is against her ancestry, even defending respect for African ancestry. Dee's mother shows with this paragraph how she does not know the greatest example of black ancestry that she could have, her own family, that she does not know the story.

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
