To ” modulate your outsider identity” means hiding away any characteristics about yourself that are viewed and seen by an inside group that views these qualities as wrong and unjustified. I do agree that everyone has “outsider” aspects to their identities that they do choose to hide away and cover up from the rest of society. There are different reasons as to why many people choose to hide certain qualities; but the main reason is that they are afraid of…
Write a blog post about what you found more convincing and what you found less convincing. Do you think authors’ messages to you was what they intended? Why or why not?

For paper 2, I would like to have better writing than what I had for paper 1. I want to use stronger sentences and stronger use of transition words. I want this…
