I am a millennial, born in nineteen ninety-four. Because I am known for my entitlement, laziness, and rebellion to the standards around me; The world is a scary place for my vulnerable nature. I along with the millennial generation am known to be an avid consumer of social media. Because of that, millennials view everything around them in an ideal manner. Is it fair that we let the work of many politics, global leaders, and professionals before our generation die, simply because we refuse to pick up a book? Our great nation that once stood as the strongest and ideal, is quickly becoming a joking matter. “Do you speak American?” by Robert MacNeil, “Why Good English is for you” by John Simon, and “Lost in America” by Douglas McGray, all share

Their recording career started slow in the United States, as in the early 1980’s they recorded four Spanish-language records, but they became very popular around the world (Editors, 2015). All of this changed in the mid 1980’s with the band’s first English album called Eyes of Innocence. With the song “Dr. Beat” heading up the European charts, their record label moved them under a different label, and encouraged them to write songs in English which lead to numerous Billboard top 10 chart hits in the 1980 and 1990’s (Editors, 2015).

Society today is quick to judge and state what is wrong and what is acceptable by the public. While some differences between Spelling Matters and Use Your Own Words are obvious, the similarities are relevant. Anne Trubek says that perhaps it is time to change or alter grammar rules to match the current generation and culture. We should advance our guidelines about what is proper and improper along with what is happening right now with the language. While Mikita Brottman says, “bad spelling can be a godsend—a way of weeding out those who are thoughtless and inattentive to detail” (p. 219).

While reading the interview of Robin D.G. Kelley, I found it interesting how he used history as a way to support his thinking. To go step by step, explain how different points in time had in shaping racism and self-identity was something I found to be very interesting. It brought me back to when I was in AP US History in high school and we read Fredrick Douglas’ book and look at old advertisements. It was shocking to see what was put on to the public, but made sense there was such racial division—if this is what was being feed to the mass public as acceptable, how were they to go against this flow of ideas? This idea was also discussed in this interview as Kelley brings in the two groups of poor white and people of color.

It’s been a great three years of being mentored by you in speech, debate, and finally, AP English Language and Composition. Through those three years of rigorous public speaking and academically challenging work, I can say with sincerity that I am a different person. Now, I know tenfold of what I knew before of high fructose corn syrup, trigger locks, and IRCA.

You fended off every single argument that either the Debate Team or the 14 member fifth period AP English coalition threw at you with such ease and class. Wherever you decide to go next, I have no doubt in my mind that you will have the same scintillating impact you had on Suffern High School. Be sure to hoist that Tampa Bay Rays banner proudly for all those poseur Yankee fans to see!

“If Only We All Spoke Two Languages” is an segment written by Ariel Dorfman that discusses the benefits of the United States becoming a bilingual and or a multilingual society. The piece was written in March 2004 and first appeared in the novel “Everything’s an Argument with Readings”. In the portion author Ariel Dorfman criticized Americans for being monolingual.

The documentary “Do you Speak American” was hosted by Robert MacNiel. He takes his viewers on a journey across the United States. His mission is to explore how language defines us as a person; as well as how it can unite and separate us. The title of the documentary highlights: What does it mean to “Speak American?” Some people may believe that to speak American means that you speak English. After watching this documentary, it was clear the answer was much more complex than that and not all Americans speak English. There are many Mexican Americans who the first language is Spanish.
