February 24 homework.

Summary:

3) I think it was a negative outcome based on that he did not want to change the way he wrote even though it would have been better.

5) The fact that Alan wasn't accepted into the discourse community because he didn't want to change the way he wrote, I would agree with Gee.
6) In the community he was going to be used to help fix it and put it back together so that would make him a kind of tool as to put it all back together.
7) In school teacher's are supposed to be the authority figure but when you see them make a mistake, it makes it harder for you to see them as that authority figure.

Response:
I thought that this article was much easier to read than others we have read. I really liked that she made a character that was going through her argument and it made the entire article easier to read.
