Answer

"Black English is the creation of the black diaspora"

As indicated in the article referenced in the question, language evolves because people have a deep collective need to communicate the realities of their conditions in a way that makes meaning to them as well as to others. To be forced into a language system that disallows them from doing that, or dampens their ability for self-expression translates to the submergence of a people. Aristotle put it succinctly. He states that "freedom is obedience to self-formulated rules"

So if people are truly free, then they reserve every right to express themselves how they chose.

Another section of the article which speaks strongly to the subject matter states that the rules of the language are not self-determined by the nature of the language itself, but by the very things, experiences, emotions, desires etc that the language must communicate.

Cheers

Do you think students should have the same rights in school as outside<br> Why or why not?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

In my opinion i think that students should hold the same right as the do outside school. In example, everyone has the right to defend themselves if they are being attacked or threatened. But as soon as the step in school that all goes out the window, if you get in a fight at school and you defend yourself you get in trouble too. This isn't quite right in my opinion.

In 5-10 sentences explain why Ambrose Bierce does not write his story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, in chronological order
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce set during the Civil War. The main character, Peyton Farquhar, is tricked into trying to burn a bridge that would allow Union soldiers to cross into Confederate territory.

<u>Bierce does not narrate this story in chronological order. By doing that, he gets to trick readers, especially towards the end. In the first part of the story, Farquhar is already about to be hanged, having been accused of treason. However, the second part is a flashback. We get to know who Farquhar is and how he got tricked into trying to burn the bridge. In part three, the narrator deceives readers. It is time to actually hang Farquhar. But, while Bierce separated reality and flashback into two different parts before, he does not do that now. Reality and hallucinations are mixed. We are led to believe that the noose broke and that Farquhar was able to escape and return home. We are brought back to reality in a sudden, almost cruel way:</u>

<em>Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.</em>

<u>Farquhar never escaped. He hallucinated in the brief moments it took him to die from hanging.</u>
