Jamila Lyiscott,a poet expresses her opinion on the freedom of using different dialects or languages,she speaks of how speaking three different languages gives her advantages to connect liberally with various ethnic groups.
Jamila’s view expressed here, is that languages or dialects are cultural and adaptative.She supports this view by speaking unapologetically about her choice of dialects.
She spoke of three dialects she uses,which are,the english language, broken english, and a native dialect. Jamila repeatedly stated that she is articulate in her speech no matter which dialect she
speaks. speaking three different dialects or languages for her,seem to have given her an advantage to communicate with different individuals and in different social settings.

Hi Deirdre! You’ve outlined the Main idea here, the example of her different dialects, and you explain the significance of having different dialects, but I wondered after reading your analysis of the advantages of speaking in different dialects if your Main idea sentence should reflect that a bit more. Right now, your M sentence only mentions “freedom,” but what you’re interested in is deeper.
