**2.) ** Working with others gave me a greater understanding of the material at hand and helped me solidify my stance. **3.) ** I included more quotations & I applied myself a bit more on the final draft

 * 4.) ** I enjoyed writing this paper and reading bell hooks opinion on black vernacular. Writing this paper also put a new spin on language. It really bothers me that we do not have our own language. She really opened my eyes and made me put things into better perspective.
