1.) Abraham's essay agreed with Tannen's because they both were studying the patterns of speech. Even though Abraham was looking at Black Speech, and Tannen was just looking at the speech of female and male.
2.) They use rhymes just in regular conversation like Abraham said the saying "See you later alligator, for a while crocodile" or they'll use it as comebacks like "what I said cabbage head".

4.) Well, apparently people are saying that it is considered black speech, which I had never even thought to relate it to.
5.) Cannot think of any right now, but I'll add some if I think of any.

5.) I don't want to agree with her, but it seems natural to think that way. I don't like that people think this is a "white suprematist capitalist patriarchy" but it just seems that is what surrounds us.
6.) She thinks that there could possibly be some resistance to inviting the "other" and that it is a big possibility but if we do invite the "other" than it could be a critical interevention.
