Extra Credit

I really enjoyed going to the literature reading event, i had a lot of fun and i learned a lot about ways to write and draw in the attention of your readers with word usage etc. I really connected to one of the readings by a guy who had written something about the fluidity of gender. I can relate to this very much and it is something I've dealt with in my past when i went to a youth group. My group was a LGBTQ group for the youth. At the starting of these groups it was customary to state your name age,where you are from, and your "preferred gender pronoun"(male, female, they, etc) It was very common for men to prefer to be reffered to as her or she and the same was common for females to desire to be reffered to as he and him. This instilled the idea that gender was fluid in my mind at a young age and is something i will always remember. I enjoyed all of the readings and the variety that they had.
