Summary:
In his article "Memoria is a Friend of Ours: On the Discourses of Color," Victor Villanueva attempts to explain the writing concept of memoria to his audience. He also explains how we talk about color. He does this by including poems and excerpts from other writers talking about how "Memoria class and pushes us forward." He also refers to a book titled "Boostraps" which includes things tried in a classroom and is ethnographic research.

Synthesis:
The reading I think that is related to this article would be Wardle, and how they both involve discourse in a workplace. They both bring new situations in a discourse communities and how they are closely related.

Personal Response:
I thought this article was very weird. It was interesting reading how he put different types of writings into his article such as poems, exerts, and stories of lives. I thought it was cool how anything can be a discourse community and anyone. 

QD:
7. Villanueva's primary source of his discourse community is his family, and his secondary discourse is his public life outside of his home.
