I can relate with Jamila  Lyiscott when she said “Cause I speak three tongues. One for each: Home, school, and friends”. I agree with this because when we as people communicate with different people weather when we’re with our friends and in school we tend to use different English  and different choices of words. We we are with our friends we tend to be ourselves call each other bro, or yo. When we with our family we tend to have more respect and try to act the way we was raised. I only speak English so it’s not that hard for me to portray it but there is different times where the English I speak gets twisted to where I feel as if I am speaking different languages eve though I am speaking English cause it’s the way I speak towards different people.  The way Jamila speaks her English I can agree because she talks about the way she speaks towards people and I feel like we all speak that same way.  The maybe different forms of English but it’s all the same and we just use it in different ways and the way we speak may be different from others.  And lastly from Jamila point of view we can decide what language or what type of English we use that best benefit us and how the different choice of English can we portray and how that makes us better readers or writers.

 In the article ” How to read like a writer” The author was explaining how we are authors ourselves and that there are many different ways to interpret reading and how they are many ways to acknowledge reading. To me the authors is saying that every piece of writing that we portray has a purpose. Ways that help me better understand reading is by finding the ideas and quotes that help find meaning. What I mean by this is that if yo u find why the author wrote the book h meaning of the book then it’s easier to figure out details and help you understand the book the purpose and makes it easier to understand. After reading how to read like a writer I realized that. There are different methods to reading and that there are more ways to understand how to read and write. Reading and writing is very essential especially to us because we are English college students and the way we read and understand reading is what helps us understand writing and will help us be both better readers and better writers.

Things that was said by bunn in his article that I would like to acknowledge and that I agree and disagree with is that you have to be in a quiet and peaceful think to be  able to focus on more reading and writing. I agree when it come to reading part because based on my experience I like to hear myself read and that’s important for me because I like to hear the words from the book to help me understand it better. But writing wise it’s ok to be around a little noise to me because I feel Like that when I’m around family or tv or radio etc t may be distracting but it can also provide with ideas . What I mean by this is don’t just copy what they say or anything. But use w hat you learn and hear not only in books but in movies, music and more ad use that to portray your writing.
