Malinowitz
She is
talking about sexual orientation and how it is appeared in society and how it’s
evolved. She talks about her realization of womanist but her mother’s reaction
to giving her step father a “girly” sweater.
-It gives you a idea of what you’re going to read.
-Shows the understanding of life and nature of people
through history.
-When people see agriculture they don’t think of it as bad
and abuse associated with it as the do when they see the word industry.
-You see the mirroring or as in how they actually see
things.
-You see behind the curtains, how things are actually
perceived.
-This shows how they try and cover it all up.
-How animals get the short end of it and the factories
don’t care, but only care about the money.
-This makes you worry if not wonder along the lines how
far humans are willing to go and what they would sacrifice for there own
greedy self’s.

-People historically have used other animals as resources.
-they live with, hunt alongside, know, understand, and
respect both the land and the other animals they exploit.
-industry could set off environmental warning bells,
whereas agriculture is generally understood as a safe, natural practice.
-Piglets, if born too small, are called “runt” and are “euthanized”.
-This involves, as Dunayer points out, holding a piglet by
their back legs and slamming their head against the floor.
-Although this is not a practice unique to factory farming
the point is that calling it euthanasia hides the violence and suffering
inflicted on these animals behind a euphemism that renders the practice
humane or sterile.
-For the factory farm, as in other corporations, the bottom
line is profit. Animals’ welfare can be traded off when production rates
remain high regardless animals’ poor health and living conditions.
-This scenario raises considerable ethical questions about
how much, as human beings, we are willing to manipulate our environment and,
as important, exploit other animals for gastronomical pleasure.

-In this quote were getting
a idea of how his life transitioned and how he notices its not all about the “streets”.
-This shows what all got
him started, what gave him his motivation.
-I feel like these
sentences shoes how hard it all was for him and how big of a struggle it
really was for him.
-This shows how he was able
to analyze the problem and how he found a solution, one that wasn’t easy but
a solution none of the least.
-How he has adapted and found
strategies that works for him and enables him to learn it all.
-The moment of triumphant
and all his hard work paid off and everything seeps in.
-With this it gives you a
glimpse into the life he had before and what he has went through.

-In the street, I had been
the most articulate hustler out there-I had commanded attention when I said
something. But now, trying to write simple English, I not only wasn’t even
functional.
-When Bimbi first made me
feel envy of his stock of knowledge. Bimbi had always taken charge of any
conversation he was in and I had tried to emulate him.
-But every book I picked up
had few sentences which didn’t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the
words that might as well been in Chinese.
-I saw that the best thing
I could do was get hold of a dictionary- to study, to learn some words.
-I read back, to myself,
everything id written on that tablet.
-I suppose it was
inevitable that as my word-base broadened, I could for the first tome pock up
a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying.
-Three or four hours of
sleep a night was enough for me. Often in the years in the streets I had
slept less than that.
-when I became a minister
of Mr. Muhammad’s.
