When I was a kid the only languages I knew was Bengali. Bengali was only language I thought was existed only. But as I was growing up I was discovering more languages and out of all of them English only caught my eyes. I wanted to learn English more than any other languages. But learning English wasn’t easy because I use to have accent which made me uncomfortable and I tried to get rid of it as soon as I can. I have similar experience to Jamila Lyiscot when she said “Cause I speak three tongues. One for each: Home, school and friends”. I use to speak 2 different languages with my friends and family. My parents isn’t from here and they barely understand English for that I had to switch up between English and Bengali. Also Jamila Lyiscot brought up an important point in this poem “Now you may think that it is ignorant to speak broken English. But I’m here to tell you that even “articulate” ” Jamila talks about how people still judge by how they speak and they get treated good or bad based on that. Lyiscott poem got my interest because she talks about the recent problem which still happening throughout recent times. This poem shows how people from all over the world getting mistreated based on what language they speak and how well they speak. People shouldn’t get judge based on what languages they speak. It’s hard to get use to a new language and adapt it as your first language. Speaking more then one languages isn’t bad at all “That’s why I put “tri-lingual” on my last job application” Jamila Lyiscot. speaking more then one language helps you to communicate with more people and get more opportunities but some people sees it in a negative way.

Mike Bunn makes the comparison of how we are already authors, he makes this comparison by showing that when he was working he had to pay careful attention to his job and make sure nothing went wrong. He would listen to each phrase or sentence and if he made a mistake he would have to re read. He takes in his daily tasks and makes his experience compare to a authors read / writing techniques. He says the way he concentrated at work and made sure nothing went wrong is the same way an author does when he is perfecting his reading and writing. At my old job it was a hostess job that required a lot of concentration and had to make sure that I had enough room for all the reservations and cleared out canceled reservations and made sure that you responded a certain ways to customers as well as picking up the phone calls the way we were told. Those small things I had to do is the same way a author uses his skills to perfect his writing. In both examples I had to make sure I spoke a certain way and when their was a issue I responded in a professional way. Bunn says that things you should notice while you are writting is like intended audience and when this took place, sometimes when I read I forget to make sure to know what time period was this book written as well as why he/she wrote the book. The time period is important because when something is written shows a lot like, the lifestyle, culture, and peoples actions and how it affects the books storyline. Bunn also makes another good point is the language someone uses when explaining something , for example Shakespeare language has to do a lot with how people spoke back then and how their language affected them. When first reading Shakespeare , you are confused because you don’t know why the book is written so different from todays lifestyle , but when you look deeper you see the intention of language and how it builds the plot and storyline.
Dear future Mohamed,
I hope you adjusted to the college system and stayed on track with all your classes and assignments given to you. I know you weren’t used to online learning and not having someone to go to when you were confused on the subject matter. I hope you learned how to work independently and answer the questions you had on your own. I know you’ll find good in the change and make it work like you’ve been doing all your life. I hope by the end of the semester you learn something valuable in life. I hope you learn to never take anything for granted. I never knew education could impact my life this much. THE CHANGE happened so quick and I slowly realized how lucky we were t be in an education system with others and grow. I hope that now as youre reading this you’re feeling proud of what you achieved.
