A Single Story

What does it mean to have a "single story" about a place or community?

What it means is that you only give your opinion base of one what you hear and know about that place or community without knowing how it really is.

Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could

people learn more about that community?

A story that I keep hear of my community is that in the East of Austin that students won't finish school that they drop-out. I also hear that the people from the East Side that they are poor. Guess what that not true am still in school I know people that are going to college. Some people do drop-out but not everyone. For example EAPrep our gold is to go to college we are in the East Side and we are going to show that that we are not drop-outs. I live in the East Side no am not rich but am not a homeless. Again there are some people that make the big picture ugly. not everyone is poor, poor is not having a house, something to eat ect. In the East Side there is house there are a lot of smart and great people. I think that people should open there eyes and inform them self so they can talk knowing the truth of the East Side.

Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you

find out more about that community?

For example in the south there is were are a lot of rich people. A lot people including me i thought that White people that they think that are better than everybody else. You know a lot of people and I were wrong because a lot of White people are not like that they are nice. 

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

One idea that I have is that a game could be people of different community's goes to each other community's and inform there self  of how each others community's really are.
