The article that I chose for my paper is titled: “Tracing the local culture in a reading book”. I chose this topic because I can relate to learning another language from a book. Here is the breakdown of my framework: Main Point: It is harder to learn a language when you are also not learning the culture of the topic. Abstract: A language cannot be taught in a classroom without including the culture. Learning a language from a reading book is much harder without also learning the culture of the language. Some words and phrases depend on a person knowledge of the language. Introduction: Language and culture cannot be separated in a classroom.

This weekend, I had some of the best banana bread I have ever tasted. Just wanted to share the recipe with you guys (: The best bananas to use for banana bread are those that are over-ripe.

A 50- something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man. Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class. " About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an  UNPLEASANT  person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class....
