In the short section of Patricia Smith's reading, she talks about her mother's "dream" to talk correct. Smith states that she just wants to talk right before she dies. Through her process of assimilation, she argues that she has lived to long to be stupid, acting like she just got off a boat. I believe this is her argument because you can feel the anger in her voice and the desire to change something before she dies. She also doesn't have all her life to change therefore she has to move quickly, making the process much more serious to her. Smith includes some types of rhetoric into her writing. She includes invention because she is looking for the correct things to say; the art of arrangement because she organizes a trip to Chicago to better herself; the art of style because it reflects the way she lives and her values; and the art of delivery in order to present herself well and dramatize an idea or belief. Smith incorporates almost all five constituents of rhetoric.
