-Your text should fluctuate with the discourse community
that you’re talking to. When I talk to children I would use a simpler language
and calming voice, but when I talked to professors I think through what I want
to say so it’s not to broad and then they understand exactly what I’m wanting
to say. When it comes to the mercy of text I understand because me and one of
my friend’s use to always write back and fourth but since I have such bad
spelling that I had to always use small vocab and that sort, but when we talked
in person I had to try and be carful to not use to big of vocab so she wouldn’t
get confused and I wouldn’t be belittling her.

-I feel that they referred to authority so much in this
because they kind of want you to get the concept and understanding of it. It
helps for you to be more aware of your audience and your reenact with them.
Nice, Lisa. I think your write in thinking that people's discourses tend to fluctuate depending on to whom they are speaking (or interacting). This would lead you to an interesting analysis of Alan's situation. Should it be completely up to Alan to change his discourse to accommodate the humanities department, or should their discourse shift when interacting with him? Think back on Gee, what might he say about it?
