Reading Taylor Mali's Poem (Materiality)

Here is a list of some of the things I recognized while reading this poem:

1) Society has become accustomed to this way of speaking.

2) We need to understand that our way of speaking is only affecting our lives and future generations lives for the worse.

3) The only way to fix this is to speak out to society to get them to understand.

4) This situation can be fix, with the help from every person.

5) We were not always like this, which means we can go back to the way we used to be.
