My initial reactions while witnessing both “Three ways to speak English” by Jamilia Lyiscott and “Should writer use they own English” written by Vershawn Young is that they both have their own type of writing styles and speeches. Also, their share a similarity when speaking about how using your type of English/slang should not affect them as a writer or put them any lower that someone else.  Vershawn writes using his type of slang throughout the whole essay and speaks about how students are taught on how to write and speak with the expected form of English and if they use a different form such as using their slang it’s an incorrect form. Something that he says that stood out to me was when he speaks about Fish saying “What he really mean by this rhetorical question is that the “multiculturals” should be thrilled to leave they own dialect and learn the other one, the one he promote”. I found this to be especially interesting because he speaks about how Fish promotes students that their own way of using English should be forgotten and about how they should adapt to the right way of writing. Verhsawn however doesn’t practically agree with this statement because all throughout the essay he speaks in the way that is more street like and something that he is more used to. During Jamila’s Ted talk she mentions how she is multilingual speaking street, Jamaican and then the formal English. She highlights the fact if she uses a different type of an English, street English, it should not be affecting her as a writer nor making her feel less of a writer.  Both Jamilia and Vershawn feel as if they need to get a point across they don’t exactly have to speak a certain way. They can get a point across by speaking a different form of English. A message that I collected from them both is that your writing style should not be any lower that something that is norm and you should still be able to get your point across no matter the situation. I think I both agree and disagree with their statements that they presented.  On one hand I do agree that your own writing style shouldn’t affect you as a writer also the fact that its still a form of writing. However, I disagree with the point that the point should be able to get across because what if the reader doesn’t understand the slang and form of writing that is being portrayed.
