Looking at this reading it was much more simple to grasp than any other reading when it comes to Discourse Communities. I feel that I understood more from this reading, and because of that it will help aid me in the Ethnography Essay that I am working on. One particular aspect about 'Learning to Serve' Mirabelli' is the fact that he covered all concepts of a Discourse Community. There are different literacy's and lexis in each and every Discourse Community and Mirabeau helped strengthen that view even more. While reading, 'Learning to Serve' Mirabelli' it dawned on me that this whole world is made up of Discourse Communities. The moment we become a part of this world, one is automatically placed into their own community. Our own families, can be the potential for our growth.
Then as we get older there is the choice to explore more, see more, and experience more. Therefore, we enlist our own selves in communities we feel we can fit into perfectly. All of the Discourse Communities that we go through in life, are the means to us attaining more knowledge and widening our scope on different viewpoints. That is exactly, what makes Discourse Communities uniquely beautiful in their own taste. Each provides it's own benefits to its members and Mirabelli expressed that well in the passage. The multiple literacies and how they mold into Discourse Communities was of great benefit to me and I loved how Mirabelli provided examples and evidence within the passage. All in all this read was by the far, the most understandable and because of that I gained more insight on how Discourse Communities are.
