Rosina describes how American criticized and discriminated those that have an accent. She also talk a lot about “standard language” myth (SLI), she used the Sound House analogy to explained how accents are created, and that the way we speak changes over time. There shouldn’t be any standard language to begin with, it is different everywhere. Rosina said, “ ..we may understand perfectly what our partners, parents, friends say to us, but we still respond with I can not understand you (72).” This quote make me realized that we understand each other perfectly, even with an accent, but we deny it simple because we talk different. I think this claim is valuable because it show how people discriminate others not only because of their appearances,
