As I was looking around campus for hidden literacies I came across this canvas on the wall in my room. I thought that this quote was completely appropriate. I first read it as though you aren't willing to look stupid in public. The more and more I thought about it, I thought that you could use this quote for writing. You need to be willing to silly/risky when you are writing. Earlier today Lacy told me that I needed to take more risks in my literacy narrative and then I stumbled upon this quote shortly after. I thought that it was fate in a way that I saw this and actually understood what it was saying today. I wonder what literacy would be like if the authors weren't willing to take the risks that they did. Would people enjoy reading or writing as much? Literacy would be very bland and not interesting. I think that one of the most important things in life is to take risks and to not be afraid of what other people think.
