Lesson 1 VALIDATING EVIDENCE

What I Need to Know

Expressing opinions on an issue can be tasking and can be difficult to do especially
that our ideas may differ with another in terms of trend, culture, belief, etc. This is the
reason why skills like taking a stand for what is right can contribute to the welfare of the
majority-irrelevant idea.
Your academic engagement in this lesson will prepare you to embrace the skills
needed in making decisions and taking a stand about something that has to do with your
future performances. At the end of this activity, you are expected to:

1. Judge the validity of the evidence listened to.

2. Judge the relevance and worth of ideas, soundness of author’s reasoning, and the
effectiveness of the presentation.
3. Take a stand on critical issues relevant to our country today.

Driving Miss Daisy

by Alfred Uhry (Excerpt)

Cast of Characters
Daisy Werthan – a widow
Hoke Coleburn – the chauffeur
Boolie Werthan – the son

SCENE: In the dark we hear a car ignition turn on, and then a horrible crash. Bangs
and booms and wood splintering. When the noise is very loud, it stops suddenly and the
lights come up on Daisy Werthan’s living room, or a portion thereof. Daisy, age 72, is
wearing a summer dress and high heeled shoes. Her hair, her clothes, her walk,
everything about her suggests bristle and feist1 and high energy. She appears to be in
excellent health. Her son, Boolie Werthan, 40, is a businessman, Junior Chamber of
Commerce style. He has a strong, capable air. The Werthans are Jewish, but they have
strong Atlanta accents.
DAISY: No!
BOOLIE: Mama!
DAISY: No!
BOOLIE: Mama!
DAISY: I said no, Boolie, and that’s the end of it.
BOOLIE: It’s a miracle you’re not laying in Enory Hospital – or decked out at the funeral
home. Look at you! You didn’t even break your glasses.
DAISY: It was the car’s fault.
BOOLIE: Mama, the car didn’t just back over the driveway and land on the Pollard’s
garage all by itself. You had it in the wrong gear.
DAISY: I did not!
BOOLIE: You put it in reverse instead of drive. The police report shows that.
DAISY: You should have let me keep my La Salle.
BOOLIE: Your La Salle was eight years old.
DAISY: I don’t care. It never would have behaved this way. And you know it.
BOOLIE: Mama, cars, don’t behave. They are behaved upon. The fact is you, all by
yourself, demolished that Packard.
DAISY: Think what you want. I know the truth.

4
BOOLIE: The truth is you shouldn’t be allowed to drive a car any more.
DAISY: No.
BOOLIE: Mama, we are just going to have to hire somebody to drive you.
DAISY: No, we are not. This is my business.
BOOLIE: Your insurance policy is written so that they are going to have to give you a
brand new car.
DAISY: Not another Packard. I hope.
BOOLIE: Lord Almighty! Don’t you see what I’m saying?
DAISY: Quit talking so ugly to your mother.
BOOLIE: Mama, you are seventy-two years old and you just cost the insurance company
twenty-seven hundred dollars. You are a terrible risk. Nobody is going to issue you a
policy after this.
DAISY: You’re just saying that to be hateful.
BOOLIE: O.k. Yes. Yes I am. I’m making it all up. Every insurance company in America
is lined up in the driveway waving their fountain pens and falling all over themselves to
get you to sign on. Everybody wants Daisy Werthan, the only woman in the history of
driving to demolish a three week old Packard, a two car garage and a free standing tool
shed in one fell swoop!
DAISY: You talk so foolish sometimes, Boolie.
BOOLIE: And even if you could get a policy somewhere, it wouldn’t be safe. I’d worry all
the time. Look at how many of your friends have men to drive them. Miss Ida Jacobs,
Miss Ethel Hess, Aunt Nonie–
DAISY: They’re all rich.
BOOLIE: Daddy left you plenty enough for this. I’ll do the interviewing at the plant. Oscar
in the freight elevator knows every colored man in Atlanta worth talking about. I’m sure
in two weeks time I can find you somebody perfectly–
DAISY: No!
BOOLIE: You won’t even have to do anything, Mama. I told you. I’ll do all the
interviewing, all the reference checking, all the–
DAISY: No. Now stop running your mouth! I am seventy-two years old as you gallantly
reminded me and I am a widow, but unless they rewrote the Constitution and didn’t tell
me, I still have rights. And one of my rights is the right to invite who I want–not who you
want–into my house. You do accept the fact that this is my house? What I do not want–
and absolutely will not have is some– (She gropes for a bad enough word.) some
chauffeur sitting in my kitchen, gobbling my food, running up my phone bill. Oh, I hate
all that in my house!
BOOLIE: You have Idella.
DAISY: Idella is different. She’s been coming to me three times a week since you were in
the eighth grade and we know how to stay out of each other’s way. And even so there are
nicks and chips in most of my wedding china and I’ve seen her throw silver forks in the
garbage more than once.
BOOLIE: Do you think Idella has a vendetta 2 against your silverware?
DAISY: Stop being sassy. You know what I mean. I was brought up to do myself. On
Forsyth Street we couldn’t afford them and we did for ourselves. That’s still the best way,
if you ask me.
BOOLIE: Them! You sound like Governor Talmadge.
DAISY: Why, Boolie! What a thing to say! I’m not prejudiced! Aren’t you ashamed?
BOOLIE: I’ve got to go home. Florine’ll be having a fit.
DAISY: Y’all must have plans tonight.
BOOLIE: Going to the Ansleys for a dinner party.
DAISY: I see.

5
BOOLIE: You see what?
DAISY: The Ansleys. I’m sure Florine bought another new dress. This is her idea of
heaven on earth, isn’t it?
BOOLIE: What?
DAISY: Socializing with Episcopalians.
BOOLIE: You’re a doodle, Mama. I guess Aunt Nonie can run you anywhere you need to
go for the time being.
DAISY: I’ll be fine.
BOOLIE: I’ll stop by tomorrow evening. DAISY: How do you know I’ll be here? I’m
certainly not dependent on you for company.
BOOLIE: Fine. I’ll call first. And I still intend to interview colored men.
DAISY: No!
BOOLIE: Mama!
DAISY: (singing to end discussion) After the ball is over After the break of morn After the
dancers leaving After the stars are gone Many a heart is achin If you could read them all
– (Lights fade on her as she sings and come up on Bollie at his desk at the Werthan
Company. He sits at a desk piled with papers, and speaks into an intercom.)
BOOLIE: Ok, Miss McClatchey. Send him on in. (He continues working at his desk. Hoke
Coleburn enters, a black man of about 60, dressed in a somewhat shiny suit and
carrying a fedora, a man clearly down on his luck but anxious to keep up appearances.)
Yes, Hoke, isn’t it?
HOKE: Yassuh. Hoke Coleburn.
BOOLIE: Have a seat there. I’ve got to sign these letters. I don’t want Miss McClatchey
fussing at me.
HOKE: Keep right on with it. I got all the time in the worl’.
BOOLIE: I see. How long you been out of work?
HOKE: Since back befo’ las November.
BOOLIE: Long time.
HOKE: Well, Mist’ Werthan, you try bein’ me and looking for work. They hirin’ young if
they hirin’ colored, an’ they ain’ even hirin’ much young, seems like. (Boolie is involved
with his paperwork.) Mist’ Werthan? Y’all people Jewish, ain’ you?
BOOLIE: Yes we are. Why do you ask?
HOKE: I’d druther drive for Jews. People always talkin’ bout they stingy and they cheap,
but don’ say none of that ‘roun’ me.
BOOLIE: Good to know you feel that way. Now, tell me where you worked before.
HOKE: Yassuh. That’s what I’m getting at. One time I workin’ for this woman over near
Little Five Points. What was that woman’s name? I forget. Anyway, she president of the
Ladies Auxiliary over yonder to the Ponce De Leon Baptist Church and seem like she
always bringing up God and Jesus and do unto others. You know what I’m talkin ‘bout?
BOOLIE: I’m not sure. Go on.
HOKE: Well, one day, Mist’ Werthan, one day that woman say to me, she say “Hoke,
come on back in the back wid me. I got something for you.” And we go on back yonder
and, Lawd have mercy, she have all these old shirts and collars be on the bed, yellow,
you know, and nasty like they been stuck off in a chiffarobe and forgot about. Thass’
right. And she say “Ain’ they nice? They b’long to my daddy befo he pass and we fixin’ to
sell ‘em to you for twenty five cent apiece.
BOOLIE: What was her name?

6
HOKE: Thass’ what I’m thinkin’. What was that woman’s name? Anyway, as I was goin’
on to say, any fool see the whole bunch of them collars and shirts together ain’ worth a
nickel! Them’s the people das callin’ Jews cheap! So I say “Yassum, I think about it” and
I get me another job fas’ as I can.
BOOLIE: Where was that?
HOKE: Mist’ Harold Stone, Jewish gentlemen jes like you. Judge, live over yonder on
Lullwater Road.
BOOLIE: I knew Judge Stone.
HOKE: You doan’ say! He done give me this suit when he finish wid it. An’ this necktie

BOOLIE: You drove for Judge Stone? ‘
HOKE: Seven years to the day nearabout. An’ I be there still if he din’ die, and Miz Stone

on down to Savannah wid’ me, Hoke.” Cause my wife dead by then and I say “ No thank
you.” I didn’t want to leave my grandbabies and I don’ get along with that Geechee trash
they got down there.
BOOLIE: Judge Stone was a friend of my father’s.
HOKE: You doan’ mean! Oscar say you need a driver for yo’ family. What I be doin’?
Runnin’ yo children to school and yo’ wife to the beauty parlor and like dat?
BOOLIE: I don’t have any children. But tell me–
HOKE: Thass’ a shame! My daughter bes ‘ thing ever happen to me. But you young yet.
I wouldn’t worry none.
BOOLIE: I won’t. Thank you. Did you have a job after Judge Stone?
HOKE: I drove a milk truck for the Avondale Dairy thru the whole war–the one jes’ was.
BOOLIE: Hoke, what I am looking for is somebody to drive my mother around.
HOKE: Excuse me for askin’, but how come she ain’ hire fo’ herself?
BOOLIE: Well, it’s a delicate situation.
HOKE: Mmmm Hmm. She done gone ‘roun’ the bend a little? That’ll happen when they
get on.
BOOLIE: Oh no. Nothing like that. She’s all there. Too much there is the problem. It just
isn’t safe for her to drive any more. She knows it, but she won’t admit it. I’ll be frank
with you. I’m a little desperate.
HOKE: I know what you mean ‘bout dat. Once I was outta work my wife said to me
“Oooooh, Hoke, you ain’ gon get noun nother job.” And I say “What you talkin’ bout,
woman?” And the very next week I go to work for that woman in Little Five Points. Cahill!
Ms. Frances Cahill. And then I go to Judge Stone and they the reason I happy to hear
you Jews.
BOOLIE: Hoke, I want you to understand, my mother is a little high-strung. She doesn’t
want anybody driving her. But the fact is you’d be working for me, She can say anything
she likes but she can’t fire for you. You understand?
HOKE: Sho’I do. Don’t worry none about it. I hold on no matter what way she run me.

hogs to the ground at killin’ time, and ain’ no hog get away from me yet.
BOOLIE: How does twenty dollars a week sound?
HOKE: Soun’ like you got yo’ Mama a chauffeur.
(Lights fade on them and come up on Daisy who enters her living room with the morning
paper. She reads with interest. Hoke enters the living room. He carries a chauffeur’s cap
instead of his hat. Daisy’s concentration on the paper becomes fierce when she senses
Hoke’s presence.)
Mornin’, Miz Daisy.

7
DAISY: Good morning.
HOKE: Right cool in the night, wadn’t it?
DAISY: I wouldn’t know. I was asleep.
HOKE: Yassum. What yo plans today?
DAISY: That’s my business. HOKE: You right about dat. Idella say we runnin’ outa coffee
and Dutch Cleanser.
DAISY: We?
HOKE: She say we low on silver polish too.
DAISY: Thank you. I will go to the Piggly Wiggly on the trolley this afternoon.
HOKE: Now, Miz Daisy, how come you doan’ let me carry you? DAISY: No, thank you.
HOKE: Aint dat what Mist’ Werthan hire me for?
DAISY: That’s his problem.
HOKE: All right den. I find something to do. I tend yo zinnias.
DAISY: Leave my flower bed alone.
HOKE: Yassum. You got a nice place back beyond the garage ain’ doin’ nothin’ but sittin’
there. I could put you in some butterbeans and some tomatoes and even some Irish
potatoes could we get some ones with good eyes.
DAISY: If I want a vegetable garden. I’ll plant it for myself.
HOKE: Well, I go out and set in the kitchen, then, like I been doin’ all week.
DAISY: Don’t talk to Idella. She has work to do.
HOKE: Nome, I jes sit there till five o’clock.
DAISY: That’s your affair.
HOKE: Seem a shame, do. That fine Oldsmobile settin out there in the garage. Ain’t move
a inch from when Mist’ Werthan rode it over here from Mitchell Motors. Only got nineteen
miles on it. Seem like that insurance company give you a whole new car for nothin’.
DAISY: That’s your opinion.
HOKE: Yassum. And my other opinion is a fine rich Jewish lady like you doan b’long
draggin’ up the steps of no bus, luggin’ no grocery store bags. I come along and carry
them fo’ you. DAISY: I don’t need you. I don’t want you. And I don’t like you saying I’m
rich.
HOKE: I won’t say it, then.
DAISY: Is that what you and Idella talk about in the kitchen? Oh, I hate this! I hate
being discussed behind my back in my own house! I was born on Forsyth Street and,
believe me, I knew the value of penny. My brother Manny brought home a white cat one
day and Papa said we couldn’t keep it because we couldn’t afford to feed it. My sisters
saved up money so I could go to school and be a teacher. We didn’t have anything!
HOKE: Yassum, but look like you doin’ all right now.
DAISY: And I’ve ridden the trolley with groceries plenty of times!
HOKE: Yassum, but I feel bad takin’ Mist’ Werthan’s money for doin’ nothin’. You
understand?
(She cut him off in the speech.)
DAISY: How much does he pay you?
HOKE: That between me and him, Miz Daisy.
DAISY: Anything over seven dollars a week is robbery. Highway robbery!
HOKE: Specially when I doan do nothin’ but sit on a stool in the kitchen all day long.
Tell you what, while you goin on the trolley to the Piggly Wiggly, I hose down yo’ front
steps. (Daisy is putting on her hat.)
DAISY: All right.
HOKE: All right I hose yo steps?

8
DAISY: All right the Piggly Wiggly. And then home. Nowhere else.
HOKE: Yassum.
DAISY: Wait. You don’t know how to run the Oldsmobile!
HOKE: Miz Daisy, a gear shift like a third arm to me. Anyway, thissun automatic. Any
fool can run it.
DAISY: Any fool but me, apparently.
HOKE: Ain’ no need to be so hard on yoseff now. You cain’ drive but you probably do
alota things I cain’ do. It all work out.
DAISY: (calling offstage) I’m gone to the market, Idella.
HOKE: (also calling) And I right behind her! (Hoke puts on his cap and helps Daisy into
the car. He sits at the wheel and backs the car down the driveway. Daisy, in the rear, is
in full bristle.) I love a new car smell. Doan’ you? ( Daisy slides over to the other side of
the seat.)
DAISY: I’m nobody’s fool, Hoke.
HOKE: Nome.
DAISY: I can see the speedometer as well as you can.
HOKE: I see dat.
DAISY: My husband taught me how to run a car.
HOKE: Yassum.
DAISY: I still remember everything he said. So don’t you even think for a second that
you can–Wait! You’re speeding! I see it!
HOKE: We ain goin’ but nineteen miles an hour.
DAISY: I like to go under the speed limit.
HOKE: Speed limit thirty five here.
DAISY: The slower you go, the more you save on gas. My husband told me that.
HOKE: We barely movin’. Might as well walk to the Piggly Wiggly. DAISY: Is this your
car? HOKE: Nome.
DAISY: Do you pay for the gas?
HOKE: Nome. DAISY: All right then. My fine son may think I’m losing my abilities, but I
am still in control of what goes on in my car. Where are you going?
HOKE: To the grocery store.
DAISY: Then why didn’t you turn on Highland Avenue?
HOKE: Piggly Wiggly ain’ on Highland Avenue. It on Euclid down there near—
DAISY: I know where it is and I want to go to it the way I always go. On Highland Avenue.
HOKE: That three blocks out of the way, Miz Daisy.
DAISY: Go back! Go back this minute!
HOKE: We in the wrong lane! I cain’ jes–
DAISY: Go back I said! If you don’t, I’ll get out of this car and walk!
HOKE: We movin’! You cain’ open the do’!
DAISY: This is wrong! Where are you taking me?
HOKE: The sto’.
DAISY: This is wrong. You have to go back to Highland Avenue!
HOKE: Mmmm Hmmmm.
DAISY: I’ve been driving to the Piggly Wiggly since the day they put it up and opened it
for business. This isn’t the way! Go back! Go back this minute!
HOKE: Yonder the Piggly Wiggly.
DAISY: Get ready to turn now.
HOKE: Yassum

9
DAISY: Look out! There’s a little boy behind that shopping cart!
HOKE: I see dat.
DAISY: Pull in next to the blue car.
HOKE: We closer to the do’ right here.
DAISY: Next to the blue car! I don’t park in the sun! It fades the upholstery.
HOKE: Yassum. (He pulls in, and gets out as Daisy springs out of the back seat.)
DAISY: Wait a minute. Give me the car keys.
HOKE: Yassum.
DAISY: Stay right here by the car. And you don’t have to tell everybody my business.
HOKE: Nome. Don’ forget the Dutch Cleanser now. (She fixes him with a look meant to
kill and exits. Hoke waits by the car for a minute, then hurries to the phone booth at the
corner.) Hello? Miz McClatchey? Hoke Coleburn here. Can I speak to him? (pause) Mornin
sir, Mist’ Werthan. Guess where I’m at? I’m at dishere phone booth on Euclid Avenue
right next to the Piggly Wiggly. I jes drove yo’ Mama to the market. (pause) She flap a
little on the way. But she all right. She in the store. Uh oh, Miz Daisy look out the store
window and doan’ see me, she liable to throw a fit right there by the checkout. (pause)
Yassuh, only took six days. Same time it take the Lawd to make the worl’. (Lights out on
him. We hear a choir singing.)
CHOIR: May the words of my mouth
And the meditations of my heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord
My strength and my redeemer, Amen.
(Light up on Hoke waiting by the car, looking at a newspaper. Daisy enters in a
different hat and a fur piece.)
HOKE: How yo’ Temple this mornin’, Miz Daisy?
DAISY: Why are you here?
HOKE: I bring you to de Temple like you tell me. (He is helping her into the car.)
DAISY: I can get myself in. Just go. (She makes a tight little social smile and a wave out
the window.) Hurry up out of here! (Hoke starts up the car.)
HOKE: Yassum.
DAISY: I didn’t say speed. I said get me away from here.
HOKE: Somethin’ wrong back yonder?
DAISY: No.
HOKE: Somethin’ I done?
DAISY: No. (a beat) Yes.
HOKE: I ain’ done nothin’!
DAISY: You had the car right in front of the front door of the Temple! Like I was Queen
of Romania! Everybody saw you! Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the back?
HOKE: I jes trying’ to be nice. They two other chauffeurs right behind me.
DAISY: You made me look like a fool. A g.d. fool!
HOKE: Lawd knows you ain’ no fool, Miz Daisy.
DAISY: Slow down. Miriam and Beulah and them, I could see what they were thinking
when we came out of services.
HOKE: What that?
DAISY: That I’m trying to pretend I’m rich.
HOKE: You is rich, Miz Daisy! DAISY: No I’m not! And nobody can ever say I put on airs.
On Forsyth Street we only had meat once a week. We made a meal off of grits and gravy,
I taught the fifth grade at the Crew Street School! I did without plenty of times. I can tell
you.

10
HOKE: And now you doin’ with. What so terrible in that?
DAISY: You! Why do I talk to you? You don’t understand me.
HOKE: Nome, I don’t. I truly don’t. Cause if I ever was to get ahold of what you got I be
shakin it around for everybody in the world to see.
DAISY: That’s vulgar. Don’t talk to me! (Hoke mutters something under his breath) What?
What did you say? I heard that!
HOKE: Miz Daisy, you need a chauffeur and Lawd know, I need a job. Let’s jes leave it
at dat. (Light out on them and up on Boolie, in his shirtsleeves. He has a phone to his ear.)
BOOLIE: Good morning, Mama. What’s the matter? (pause) What? Mama, you’re talking
so fast I… What? All right. All right. I’ll come by on my way to work. I’ll be there as soon
as I can. (Light out on him and up on Daisy, pacing around her house in a winter bathrobe.
Boolie enters in a topcoat and scarf.) I didn’t expect to find you in one piece.
DAISY: I wanted you to be here when he comes. I wanted you to hear it for yourself.
BOOLIE: Hear what? What’s going on?
DAISY: He’s stealing from me!
BOOLIE: Hoke? Are you sure?
DAISY: I don’t make empty accusations. I have proof!
BOOLIE: What proof?
DAISY: This! (She triumphantly pulls an empty can of salmon out of her robe pocket.) I
caught him red handed! I found this hidden in the garbage pail under some coffee
grounds.
BOOLIE: You mean he stole a can of salmon?
DAISY: Here it is! Oh I knew. I knew something was funny. They all take things, you
know. So I counted. BOOLIE: You counted?
DAISY: The silverware first and the linen dinner napkins and then I went into the pantry.
I turned on the light and the first thing that caught my eye was a hole behind the corned
beef. And I knew right away. There were only eight cans of salmon. I had nine. Three for
a dollar on sale.
BOOLIE: Very clever, Mama. You made me miss my breakfast and be late for a meeting
at the bank for a thirty-three cent can of salmon. (He jams his hand in his pocket and
pulls out some bills.) Here! You want thirty-three cents? Here’s a dollar! Here’s ten dollars!
Buy a pantry full of salmon!
DAISY: Why, Boolie! The idea! Waving money at me like I don’t know what! I don’t want
the money. I want my things!
BOOLIE: One can of salmon?
DAISY: It was mine. I bought it and I put it there and he went into my pantry and took
it and he never said a word. I leave him plenty of food everyday and I always tell him
exactly what it is. They are like having little children in the house. They want something
so they just take it. Not a smidgin of manners. No conscience. He’ll never admit this.
“Nome,” he’ll say, “I doan know nothin’ bout that.” And I don’t like it! I don’t like living
this way! I have no privacy.
BOOLIE: Mama!
DAISY: Go ahead. Defend him. You always do.
BOOLIE: All right. I give up. You want to drive yourself again, you just go ahead and
arrange it with the insurance company. Take your blessed trolley. Buy yourself a taxicab.
Anything you want. Just leave me out of it.
DAISY: Boolie… (Hoke enters in an overcoat)
HOKE: Mornin, Miz daisy. I b’leve it fixin’ to clear up. S’cuse me, I didn’t know you was
here Mist’ Werthan.
BOOLIE: Hoke, I think we have to have a talk.

11
HOKE: Jes’ a minute. Lemme put my coat away. I be right back. (He pulls a brown paper
bag out of his overcoat.) Oh., Miz Daisy. Yestiddy when you out with yo sister I ate a can
o’your salmon. I know you say eat the leff over pork chops, but they stiff. Here, I done
buy you another can. You want me to put it in the pantry fo’ you?
DAISY: Yes. Thank you, Hoke.
HOKE: I’ll be right wit you Mist’ Wertham. (Hoke exits. Daisy looks at the empty can in
her hand.) DAISY: (trying for dignity) I’ve got to get dressed now. Goodbye, son. (She pecks
his cheek and exits. Lights out on him. We hear sounds of birds twittering. Lights come up
brightly–hot sun. Daisy, in light dress, is kneeling, a trowel in her hand, working by a
gravestone. Hoke, jacket in hand, sleeves rolled up, stands nearby.)
HOKE: I jess thinkin’, Miz Daisy. We bin out heah to the cemetery three times dis mont
already and ain’ even the twentieth yet.
DAISY: It’s good to come in nice weather.
HOKE: Yassum. Mist’ Sig’s grave mighty well tended. I b’leve you the best widow in the
state of Georgia.
DAISY: Boolie’s always pestering me to let the staff out here tend to this plot. Perpetual
care they call it.
HOKE: Doan’ you do it. It right to have somebody from the family lookin’ after you.
DAISY: I’ll certainly never have that. Boolie will have me in perpetual care before I’m
cold.
HOKE: Come on now, Miz Daisy.
DAISY: Hoke, run back to the car and get that pot of azaleas for me and set it on Leo
Bauer’s grave.
HOKE: Miz Rose Bauer’s husband?
DAISY: That’s right. She asked me to bring it out here for her. She’s not very good about
coming. And I believe today would’ve been Leo’s birthday.
HOKE: Yassum. Where the grave at?
DAISY: I’m not exactly sure. But I know it’s over that way on the other side of the weeping
cherry. You’ll see the headstone. Bauer.
HOKE: Yassum.
DAISY: What’s the matter?
HOKE: Nothin’ the matter. (He exits. She works with her trowel. In a moment Hoke
returns with flowers.) Miz Daisy…
DAISY: I told you it’s over on the other side of the weeping cherry. It says Bauer on the
headstone.
HOKE: How’d that look?
DAISY: What are you talking about?
HOKE: (deeply embarrassed) I’m talkin’ bout I cain’ read.
DAISY: What?
HOKE: I cain’ read.
DAISY: That’s ridiculous. Anybody can read.
HOKE: Nome. Not me.
DAISY: Then how come I see you looking at the paper all the time?
HOKE: That’s it. Jes lookin’. I dope out what’s happening from the pictures.
DAISY: You know your letters, don’t you?
HOKE: My ABC’s? Yassum, pretty good. I jes’ cain’ read.
DAISY: Stop saying that. It’s making me mad. If you know your letters then you can
read. You just don’t know you can read. I taught some of the stupidest children God ever
put on the face of this earth and all of them could read enough to find a name on a
tombstone. The name is Bauer, Buh buh buh buh Bauer. What does that buh letter
sound like?

12
HOKE: Sound like a B.
DAISY: Of course. Buh Bauer. Er er er er er. BauER. That’s the last part. What letter
sounds like er?
HOKE: R?
DAISY: So the first letter is a–
HOKE: B.
DAISY: And the last letter is an–
HOKE: R.
DAISY: B-R. B-R. B-R. Brr. Brr. Brr. It even sounds like Bauer, doesn’t it?
HOKE: Sho’do Miz Daisy. Thass it?
DAISY: That’s it. Now go over there like I told you in the first place and look for a
headstone with a B at the beginning and an R the end and that will be Bauer.
HOKE: We ain’ gon’ worry ‘bout what come n’ the middle?
DAISY: Not right now. This will be enough for you to find it. Go on now.
HOKE: Yassum.
DAISY: And don’t come back here telling me you can’t do it. You can.
HOKE: Miz Daisy…
DAISY: What now?
HOKE: I ‘preciate this, Miz Daisy.
DAISY: Don’t be ridiculous! I didn’t do anything. Now would you please hurry up? I’m
burning up out here.

Obama: ‘There Were No Winners In This’ Government Shutdown

President Barack Obama’s Address to the Americans

http://www.huffingtonpost.com

Hi everybody. This week, because Democrats and responsible Republicans

came together, the government was reopened, and the threat of default was
removed from our economy.
There’s been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But
the truth is, there were no winners in this. At a time when our economy needs more
growth and more jobs, the manufactured crises of these last few weeks actually
harmed jobs and growth. And it’s understandable that your frustration with what
goes on in Washington has never been higher.
The way business is done in Washington has to change. Now that these clouds of
crisis and uncertainty have lifted, we need to focus on what the majority of
Americans sent us here to do – grow the economy, create good jobs, strengthen the
middle class, lay the foundation for broad-based prosperity, and get our fiscal
house in order for the long haul.
It won’t be easy. But we can make progress. Specifically, there are three
places where I believe that Democrats and Republicans can work together right
away.
First, we should sit down and pursue a balanced approach to a responsible
budget, one that grows our economy faster and shrinks our long-term deficits
further. There is no choice between growth and fiscal responsibility – we need both.
So we’re making a serious mistake if a budget doesn’t focus on what you’re focused
on: creating more good jobs that pay better wages. If we’re going to free up resources
for the things that help us grow – education, infrastructure, research – we should
cut what we don’t need, and close corporate tax loopholes that don’t help create
jobs. This shouldn’t be as difficult as it has been in past years. Remember, our
deficits are shrinking – not growing.

15
Second, we should finish the job of fixing our broken immigration system.
There’s already a broad coalition across America that’s behind this effort, from
business leaders to faith leaders to law enforcement. It would grow our economy. It
would secure our borders. The Senate has already passed a bill with strong
bipartisan support. Now the House should, too. The majority of Americans thinks
this is the right thing to do. It can and should get done by the end of this year.
Third, we should pass a farm bill – one that America’s farmers and ranchers
can depend on, one that protects vulnerable children and adults in times of need,
and one that gives rural communities opportunities to grow and the longer-term
certainty they deserve.
We won’t suddenly agree on everything now that the cloud of crisis has
passed. But we shouldn’t hold back on places where we do agree, just because we
don’t think it’s good politics, or just because the extremes in our parties don’t like
compromise. I’ll look for willing partners from either party to get important work
done. There’s no good reason why we can’t govern responsibly, without lurching from
manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis. Because that isn’t governing – it’s just
hurting the people we were sent here to serve.
Those of us who have the privilege to serve this country have an obligation to
do our job the best we can. We come from different parties, but we’re Americans first.
And our obligations to you must compel all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to
cooperate, and compromise, and act in the best interests of this country we love.
Thanks everyone, and have a great weekend.

BIG IDEA!
Remember: We can easily acquire knowledge but it is important that you
know how to filter these acquired knowledge. We do it by knowing what a
“good” source is. In the succeeding contents, you will be guided on how to
determine the validity of an evidence within the source.

A “good” source determines the validity of evidence. We first need to be acquainted with
the following terms and concepts:
Validity – soundness and strength of argument. Is the evidence any good?
Audience – people who have read or will read a particular text, publication, or writer,
considered collectively. For whom did the author intend to read or view this source?
Authority – power to inspire belief or weight of testimony. Does this person know what
he or she is talking about?

You need to use evidence to support your argument. But how can you determine if the
source you’re looking at is a “good” evidence?

17
Evaluating a Source

When we determine that a source is "good," we say that it has validity. But how
can you determine if the source you're consulting is valid? Here's a couple of
questions to consider:

 Who is the author of the source? What are his or her credentials - is
her or she a recognized expert in the field? Are they representing an
organization? If so, what is the organization's mission and goals? If
you're unsure, try doing a Google search on the author or their
organization.
 How did the source get its information? If the source includes
references, look at a few of the references - do they look like reliable
sources of information? Does it look like the author is citing the source
correctly? Use your best judgment!
 What if the source you've found doesn't have references? If a source
doesn't include references, see if you can fact check the information in
other ways. For example, if you're looking at a news article that quotes
experts in a field, do a Google search of the expert's name and see what
information you can find on him or her.

Types of Sources - Scholarly, Trade, & Popular

Previously, you might have been told to only use scholarly sources for
research assignments. Why is that, and what does that term even mean?
A scholarly source is written by an expert for other experts in the same field.
Scholarly sources typically include references to other sources, and are written with
the assumption that the audience already has significant background knowledge in
the topic. Scholarly sources generally go through a process called "peer review," in
which they are vetted by other experts. Scholarly sources generally are viewed as
having the highest validity, but they can be daunting to examine by a reader
unfamiliar with the field.
A trade source is written by a professional in a particularly industry for
others in that same profession. However, while members in a profession work in the
same industry broadly, individual professionals may have drastically different job
responsibilities. As a result, while trade sources often assume the reader has some
familiarity with topics, they generally are more accessible by a layperson than
scholarly sources.
A popular source is written for broad consumption; the author generally
does not assume the audience will have extensive background knowledge on the
topic. Consequently, these sources are the most accessible by a novice to a field,
and can be a very great place to start researching a topic for an assignment.

REINFORCE:

Social media is a huge influence for us. Information can easily be acquired at the
tips of our fingers. Hence, is important to filter information that come from “good”
sources.

We should cite our sources properly firstly because we want to give them the appropriate
acknowledgement for their published works. Provided below are reference list entries that
we mostly use day in and day out. This citation uses the APA citation style (American
Psychology Association); it is used by many disciplines, primarily in the social sciences.

PERIODICALS:
Newspaper article
Include the exact date and introduce page numbers with p. or pp. If the story appears
on discontinuous pages, give all page numbers, separated with a comma (e.g., pp. A1,
A5-7).
 Shapiro, S. M. (2009, October 4). Can the Muppets make friends in
Ramallah? The New York Times, pp. MM38-41.
Online newspaper or magazine article
Online newspaper and magazine articles are treated just like the print versions, but
replace the page numbers with an online retrieval statement. If the article can be found
by searching the publication's home page, use that URL instead of the direct link, to
avoid nonworking URLs.
 Guernsey, L. (2009, June 1). Sesame Street: The show that counts.
Newsweek, 153(22), 54. Retrieved from http://www.newsweek.com
Entire book
For an entire print book, include the author, date of publication, title of work, location
and publisher.
 Morrow, R. W. (2006). Sesame Street and the reform of children's
television. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press.

How to use in-text parenthetical references

In APA format, references appear both in the text of the paper and in an
alphabetized reference list appearing at the end of the paper. This allows readers to easily
follow up on any citations from your paper. Every source that appears in your text must
appear in the list of references; every source in the list of references must appear in your
text.

19
Insert the last name of the author and the year of publication in your text at the
appropriate point. If the author is named in the sentence, it may be omitted from the
parenthetical citation. For example:

 More children prefer Big Bird to Cookie Monster (Smith, 2005).

 Smith (2005) found that children prefer Big Bird over Cookie Monster.
