In his essay, <em>"If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?"</em>, Baldwin contends that Black English is not a dialect but a distinct language.

The author shows the differences between a dialect and a language. According to him, a language reveals the private identity of the speaker and he provides arguments to prove his thesis that Black English is indeed a language.

Baldwin enumerates the conditions necessary for a language to be formed and used. Black English, as he presents, complies with these conditions. In his words, <em>"People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances, or in order not to be submerged by a reality that they cannot articulate"</em>. Thus, a language is formed in order to describe and control people's circumstances. He also adds that a language is created by the necessity to confront life and as a proof of power. In this way, he illustrates his argument: that Black English is a separate language because it is formed under many historical conditions.

What is the cause of Romeo’s despair?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Romeo is in love with a woman.

This is the only right answer. Romeo never feels as though he has wronged Benvolio in the play. He knows he disappoints his friends at one point when he ditches them to go see Juliet, but it does not cause him despair. Romeo never misses his friends and family. At no point does Romeo want to fight the Capulets. When Mercutio is killed, he does seek revenge out of blind rage and kills Tybalt. The only thing that causes him despair is his love for Rosaline at the beginning of the play. Rosaline has decided that she will not be involved with any man and to live a chaste life. Romeo's unrequited love is what is causing him despair.
