Baldwin, James. “If Black English Isn’t a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?” Comley 131.
This source contributes to my essay by, discussing how there are variations of languages that should count as types of a language. When Baldwin discusses how people in france speak french as well as people in Quebec, they both are speaking french but different types and they may not be able to completely understand each other. For instance in the United Kingdom and in Ireland both countries speak english, but may use different words to describe things, but both speak English. This ties into my other source Mother Tongue because Amy Tan talks about how she uses different forms of english when talking to her mother and when talking to her friends. This source helps me to explain how people who may use another form of English or any other language can be discriminated against which in turn can influence their American dream.

Also how today 's society greatly differs from the Roosevelt era idea of the “suburban” family and how America was a “melting pot”. The article discusses how vietnamese girls are being “strongly directed” by their fathers to go for a high-paying position rather than following their interests and passions and if she has an interest in the arts she is pushed into something like science and math. This will help me argue if stereotypes should be believed and if the pushing of uninteresting topics influence one 's American dream or are the reason they came to
