Homework #2: Smith and Melix

Mrs. Patricia Smith and Mrs. Mellix stories both show the struggle of "Black English". Even though both of these young African American ladies explain that they have communication problems based upon their foreign language. The two stories Mrs. Smith, "Talking Wrong" and Mrs. Mellix "From Outside, In" however have two different interesting outcomes which teach us a morally important lesson.

Mrs. Patricia Smith is making a critize. I know that Mrs. Patricia Smith is making this argument because, she explains the self-disciplining judgements that her mom for not speaking on the professional terms. However, Mrs. Barbra Mellix is making a interpret. I know that Mrs. Mellix is making this argument because, she describes how she adjusts to the different culture when needed.

Mrs. Patricia Smith is making a professional form of rhetoric because she explains that her mother spends her whole life devoting herself to develop the perfection of her speech to earn a stabelized income. Her discipline from her training and her old habbits explains to us that she strives to learn that what's best for her carreer.

Mrs. Barbra Mellix is making a cultural form of rhetoric because she adapts with the "Black English" and "Standard English" as if it were a second language. Even though "Black English" is not necessarily a foreign language pertaining to the two authors, I believe it is because according to the community the two cultures demand different input and output while interacting with each other.

Over all I think that both languages are very important to learn. Even though in professional areas whether you are a (Dean of a University or a Chief Executive Officer of a Company) "Standard English" is a very vital skill that everyone should have. However if you were a City Manager or a mayor you might want to learn "Black English", and other Foreign languages so that you can understand what is best for the public because in the public you will always see multicultural people and its very vital to learn how their beliefs operate so that they don't mistakenly offend there culture. "Black English" Should not be viewed as a "curse" as what Mrs. Smith's mom believe, but a "gift" if used in the right culture.
