The way Haikus have been written

I enjoyed listening to the fact that Haikus were written in vernacular. In academia and formal social settings, people frown upon others who don’t speak standard English. I can identify with this, because growing up in a spanish speaking household I struggled with retaining proper Enlgish, because for a fourth of the day I was influenced by teachers and adults to speak a certain way. Whereas with my friends, I spoke vernacular English or Spanish. At home, I had to speak Spanish. Therefore, in high school and the first couple of years in college I spoke with a heavy accent. When I moved away from home, I spoke English the majority of the time. As a result, I worked towards being able to articulate a formal conversation to take up space in formal settings. Ultimately, I still like speaking in a non-formal way to reject the status quo and conserve my individuality. Going back to the lecture, I admire the rebellious nature of the writers. I can identify with going against the status quo.
