Compare And Contrast Superman And Me

What revolves the world, what makes the world work or light up. Language, Language is what powers up the world, just like a light bulb, that powers up your home. Both James Baldwin, author of If Black English isn't a Language, Then Tell me what Is? Then adding to my list is Sherman Alexie author of Superman and Me. They both emphasize that language could allow or disembowel any person in our twisted world. With their point of views are different from each other, about how they were raised and adding the environment they live in.Both authors come from different parts of the word, meaning their English is different from each other. James Baldwin reveals “That language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power,” power to know the English language, to understand what the world around them are saying. To give the word your own voice, what you want to do in the world, what changes you want to improve in the world around you, to help fix the place you called home.

Which will surprise people to take a step back to see that a lower person like Alexie can understand the English language to have a voice in any matter in the world, to change something in the future to help Alexie and his family and friends, to have a better life in the world? Then we get a new fresh idea about the English language, James Baldwin authors of If Black English isn't a Language, Then Tell what IS?. “ The Irish have been forced to undergo at the English hands is the English contempt for their language”. That the English are to disembowel people languages to make them forced everyone who is not them to know the proper language. All of the planet English is the most dominant languages and is practically taking over the world. Which is taking a toll on other people around the world, schools are now adding the more English class so that their students could have a life in the outside world. That one day if they want to start a business they must have to talk to people about he or she wants and needs, but the only people who have the power to listen
