In Society, many are often stigmatized for their personal verbal expression. Throughout this paper, I will discuss the many different social issues that surrounded Min-Zhan Lu and the confusion as well as difficulty she faced in Communist China. The other text that I use to support my argument will be that of June Jordan and how she stated that this form of english, "Black English", is dying out all over the world today due to what society has said to be correct and incorrect grammar. Certain children are given chances to advance themselves academically because of the schools that they attend and the lessons that they learn. These advantages would not be possible if they did not live in certain geographical areas of the world. On the other hand, you have children who are underprivileged and who come from poorer neighborhoods who are not given the chance to show their academic skills because society says that these kids are academically slower.
Does the environment or culture that you grow up in affect your literacy and your learning abilities?
