Dear Editor, When I went to school, I was not only taught to read. I also learned to comprehend what I read, which would lead to critical thinking. Comprehension: the action or capability of understanding something. Critical thinking: the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment. Recently, a person took my words and injected his own interpretation to make my statements completely different than written.

Dear Editor, My name is Jake and you’ve probably never met me or even heard of my plight. I am also willing to bet my next meal that many of you have never been to where my friends and I live. The place I’m currently staying at with Barney, Gertrude, Shorty, and about 180 others isn’t a four-star luxury hotel. It is an older modest single-story facility. It can be a bit cramped; sometimes there are more than four of us living in the same room at any given period of time. Some of my friends also live in an…
