"Danger Of a Single Story"
CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE
 will growing up she would only read books that had white people.Then she moved to us and she had a roommate and her roommate though that she did not speak English and that she listened to like tribute kind of music. When she went to Mexico she thought that she would see people crossing the border and drug dealers but when she went she was walking through Mexico she noticed that she had been believing the single stories because as she walked through the street she saw people laughing going to the grocery store and just like any normal life. she was so ashamed that she was believing the single story. she lived a very happy life will growing up but slowly she noticed that the food was despairing because it was getting was getting to expensive but either she had n awesome child hood filed with laughter and a lot of smiles
What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?  That means that you only believe things that people tell you about someone or someplace and don't really pay any attention to what is really important or really true.
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? Well what they say is that the community is bad you will only see like bad people and kids drooping out and doing drugs. What is missing is that there are actually some very smart people and not only is there gang violence and not only are there drug dealers but if you really dig deep you will actually see some very smart people and not only see what is obvious 
  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? Well what i have heard is that the west side is only were the rich people live but i don't believe that.
How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community. well they can be thought the rules and like the same way people can learn about all around the would
