How can he or she possibly do what you want them to do if he or she does not know what it is that you are wanting. Always present thoughts and ideas as clearly as possible.

... Rani buried the infant in a nearby field in an unmarked grave. “I never felt any sorrow,” Rani , a farm laborer with a weather beaten face, said through a interpreter. “ There was a lot of bitterness in my heart toward the baby because the gods should have given me a son.”(John Anderson, 1993, p. 6) Each year thousands of newborn girls are murdered by their mothers simply because they are female.

... is such a farce since the vast majority of them have attended prestigious colleges and universities, and received degrees in different fields of study. A popular misconception is that the educations they did earn were in areas like Liberal Arts, or other general fields of study which didn't challenge their mental capabilities. Another stereotype is that pro athletes received preferential treatment while in college.
