James Baldwin’s example of different dialects was very interesting because it showed how even though people speak the same “language” the dialect can be very different where they can not understand each other. Its also interesting how languages can create dialects and  spring them up from many different situations even if the cause for them self-imposed like in Amy Tans piece where because she was a writer she used a more advanced style of the English vocabulary and felt ashamed when she realized that she talked differently when she was talking to her husband and her mother. Different dialects can either bring people together because they can learn the different dialects coming from the same language but it can also separate them. It demonstrates how powerful language is, it can create differences but also can create binds that people can use to become closer to one another.
