Journal #2

    This is an example from page 128 of Their eyes were watching god.

     "Wher' ah come frum pees don't talk like yee do, we cal' our selves southern folk and we proud of it. To be honest with yee, your pees sound so strange and we can hardly understand a word that comes from yo mouth"
     "What are you talking about?"
      Bob and Billy had just met on a train headed to the west coast. They both don't really understand one another. Billy is from the deep south and has lived there all his life. Where as Bob is from California and is heading home after a business trip to the south.
     "Well Billy you will soon know what real people sound like when they talk."
     "What yee mean 'real people', the only real pees are from the south and no place else."
     "Well I guess you live in a box then, because there are many different types of English and everyone pronounces it differently."
    Billy and Bob part ways once the train reaches Los Angeles, California. No one knows if the two will ever meet again. But one thing is sure, that not everyone talks the same and most don't realize they talk differently.

1) "Where" is changes to "Wher'" with and apostrophe at the end.
2)  For the word "I" it is changed to "Ah"
3) The word "from" is just slightly changed and it is shown as "Frum"
4) "Pees" means you guys or you people.
5) "Yee" = "You"
6) "Cal'" = Call
7) "Yo" is the same as "your" is some situations.
