        When speaking to others or interpreting what others say you always think about the language and content in what they use. Whether it be talking to friends family or even at school you always speak in a different way. When watching Jamila Lyiscott and listening to her poem about they way she talks to others, and then reading on how Anzuldua believes we interpret our language by the way we feel it made me think, Why do I say the things I say, the way I say them? How did these words that come out of my mouth come to be? Lyiscott thinks of herself being articulate. She speaks differently when talking to her father as apposed to speaking on the streets to her friends. In society I honestly don't believe there is a particular way to speak because we change it up with one another and change it up throughout the day with whomever we are talking to at the time. Lyiscott said,"I had to borrow your language because mines was stolen, But you cant expect me to speak your history holy while mines is broken, These words are spoken by someone who is fed up with the Euro-centric ideal of this season and the reason I speak a composite version of your language is because mines was raped away with my history." I had to continue to replay this because at a point I had to adjust with my own life. As a human being I don't think I will ever know exactly what the "correct" language is. Honestly is there a correct way to speak? Just like when people can tell another race who isn't African American that they sound black, or how someone can say and African American or Hispanic sound white. How can you speak a race?
