Johnson vs. Delpit

Although Johnson was very repetitive in his emphasis on privilege, I felt as though his messgae was much more effective than Delpit. Delpit's writing style was not easily understood for me, and seemed to confuse more people than just me. I feel as though when you are trying to make valid points to the public, you should make them easy to read and understand for all age groups and backgrounds. The message will be more effective and make a bigger impact. That is what Johnson did, and we seemed to have a more in depth conversation in class. Everyone was involved. Now imagine what that would be like if Delpit worded his message like that.

  3. hey brandon,
    a mothers helper is kind of like babysitting only the parents or just the mother is still around. you just help the mom out with the kids. like when i was a mothers helper, the family that i helped out with took me on vacation with them, or i would go to the park with them and play with the kids or even just stay around the house and help our. i guess you can just say its just some extra help around the house.
