The main argument in this piece is that Black English is termed as its' own distinct language, white English or dissimilar to American. Black English is not simply a dialect of English but its' own language.
Language is a way of expressing yourself, as well as in Black English does exactly the same way, by expressing the kind of lives that black people had lived. The overcoming of slavery is being represented by the development of their languages and submission to the American people during that period of time.
Since their development under more extreme circumstances and different, it has enriched the culture of African American which made them recognize Black English as their language.

4 end of sentence punctuation marks and capital letters

Add a question mark after “How’re things with you”

Change the w to a capital W in “What an achievement”

Add an exclamation mark after “What an achievement”

Add a question mark after “We’d agreed to meet at Zuzzi’s at 8:30pm on the 25th, hadn’t we”

Why make these changes? Well, for the first change, we would add a question mark because Davina is being asked how things are with her. By not adding a question mark, this sentence conflicts with the next one. In the second change, we would change the w to a capital W because the last sentence ended with a period, meaning the W is the first letter of the next transitioning sentence and would therefore require capitalization. In the third change, we would add an exclamation mark because Davina is being congratulated on her new job position. Although it would make sense to add a period, it would also make the sentence appear a bit shady or envious. In the fourth change, a question mark is needed because Davina is being asked a question for confirmation of where she and her friend had planned to meet. If you need to better understand, let me know and I will gladly assist you!

Elie opens the first chapter with a devastating recount of what happened to his friend and confidant, Moshe. Hungarians shipped out foreign Jews from Sighet, including Moshe, to the border of Poland. Once at the border, the Jews were handed over to the Germans to be killed and buried in mass graves.
