Where I am From

I am from Jericho, from Pennzoil, and the pond. 
I am from the hilltop, the two story, and the wood smoke.
I am from the dogwood in blossom, the tall trees, and the pine needles.
I am from Sunday rides, and kindness, from Lester and Myrtle, and Chadocks.
I am from the drive in, and well worn work boots with a lighter side.
From green beans will put hair on your chest, and to never telling your sister that.
I am from old Methodist churches where you're related to everyone there in some way.
I'm from Parkersburg, Ireland, and venison and potatoes.
From the time my father gave me "the talk"... on the importance of a clean vehicle, and that sometimes its ok to get it dirty, and my mothers love for nature.
I am from the old bookshelf in a house full of love, family, and memories past.

Ebonics video

I believe both of these videos have some aspects of both cultural difference and deficit perspectives, although in my opinion I would consider the Fox News video to represent more characteristics of the cultural deficit perspective.  The What Matters video about code switching deals more with cultural difference aspects.  The teacher from Chicago emphasized proper speaking among the children because they had never been taught this and no one had corrected them along the way throughout their education. I believe this relates to some of the things discussed in the cultural deficit section of the reading which we were assigned.  The other video on code switching relates more to the cultural difference perspective because it deals with the ways people talk and the different socio-linguistic variabilities and how people switch their communication styles depending on who they are communicating with.
