Whats Wrong with Black English

When I was young ripening up I was teased because I was told that I stave fair. Unfortunately in my case, I taught myself to speak the manner e very(prenominal)one else spoke and I regret it to this day. At the metre I felt if I spoke the same way everyone else did I would be accepted as everyone else. immediatelyadays that I have reached a level where speaking in remediately is non acceptable, I have to practice speaking. Rachel L. Jones and Amy Tan both made elegant points on different backgrounds having their own way to converse, but also creation able to speak professionally.Amy Tan stated I was ashamed of her slope. I believed that her side reflected the quality of what she had to say. My father has always made fun of the way I speak and I believe he underestimated my intelligence. Recently over spring break I had to write an essay for an internship I was applying for. When he read my paper he admitted to how amazed he was at how puff up I wrote it. Since I dont sp eak correct English all the time he assumed writing was not as strong as he saw it to be.From elementary school to now I have always been told you write the way you speak. I receive that is not necessarily true. I odour when writing you have time to think on what you have written and being able to proof helps also. When conversing with someone, there is not any time to think about the correct way to say something. I too feel English is a point of view and there is not one perception of it. thither are many ways and different marks but one accent is acceptable in the professional world.In Whats Wrong with dimmed English, Rachel explained that she does not agree with William Labov quote It is the goal of most inglorious Americans to acquire full control of the standard language without giving up their own culture. I would have to also disagree with Labov because I feel he is expressing that African Americans speak wrongly. People of all races all do not speak correct English it seems as if it is a stump of what African Americans try to acquire.African Americans subscribe to learn speaking incorrectly is not our culture. Our ancestors were not taught to speak correct English so it became a cycle. Now that we are allowed to receive the same education as everyone else, we need to not allow Rachel stated Knowing the price that was paid for me to divulge my abilities, its infuriating to hear that some young blacks still discriminate clear speech as a Caucasian trait. many people my age today still think speaking in good order means speaking as a Caucasian would.My younger infant who speaks correct English always is mad fun of. My sister is very intellectual for her age and I have always stood by her posture when someone tried to make her feel bad for being smart. I refuse for my sister to do what I have done to myself. Since I am the oldest I must guide her onto the correct path and I am proud of her. Jones and Tans thought of correct English is a contro versy that needs to be taken seriously.
