2nd blogger blogggggggggggg

           English 100B has been very interesting, we've read many very interesting stories that some honestly kinda confuse me. I recently read the story "Mother Tongue" about a young girl who grew up in a home with her mother who spoke very, for lack of a better word, 'broken' English. It was very often hard for people to fully understand her while trying to keep a conversation with her. The young girl often had to speak for and translate what her Mom was saying. Whether it be over the phone or in person. She was often made fun of for her 'broken' English. Her daughter could understand her very clearly, whereas for everybody else, it was very hard to understand her. This story has proven the effect that language can have in ones life. It's very hard to communicate with somebody that you cannot understand. Language is a very important necessity in life. If you live where everybody speaks English, and you are not fluent, many people will not a any idea what on earth you are talking about. Language is a part of our everyday lives. Without it, life would be very complicated. I have no completed my second blog. Woohooooo! haha
