Original:

Gee uses an example of entering a bar and approaching a strong built, tattooed, drinking buddy, this guy couldn’t ask his buddy with perfect grammar for a match as he cleaned his seat and sat down carefully, instead he would flop into the seat next to his friend and say “Gimme a match wouldya?” (Gee 5). To talk to people in the correct manner in this particular situation you must understand their Discourse. Other  ideas on this subject come up whenin Christina Haas talks about being literate. She says “to become literate is to learn the patterns of knowing about, and behaving toward…” (Haas 43). Understanding the way your supposed to interpret someone’s texts becomes easier and more understandable for comprehending Discourses.These are the points both Gee and Haas are making when talking about being literate.

Revised:

To talk to people in the correct manner in this particular situation you must understand their Discourse. Other ideas on this subject come up when Christina Haas talks about being literate by says “to become literate is to learn the patterns of knowing about, and behaving toward…” (43).
