Learning objective #1: Examine how attitudes towards linguistic standards empower and oppress language users 

In writing my Language and Literacy narrative I was able to see the varying perspectives people may have. For example some people believe that there are standard/superior ways of speaking english which leads to the oppression of people who may speak english differently that are deemed “unstandardly”.

Learning Objective #4: Recognize and practice key rhetorical terms and strategies when engaged in writing situations. 

I learned that when practicing rhetorical terms in writing situations, it helps convey tone and intent depending on the terms and strategies. I saw this a lot in June Jordan’s Nobody mean more to me than you, where there were a lot of strategies used to convey tone and intention.
