You have an interesting start to a great topic, and you actually touched upon 3 things that I myself have explored. I'm originally from England myself and although I've been here 24 yrs., I prefer to write in British English. Also, I completed my BA in English Literature w/ an emphasis on world literature and womens literature.
Regarding your essay, you need to further supply evidence to support some of your claims and strengthen your point. For example, because your focus is literary, your point regarding African Americans would be better suited with an example from the text to further bring home your point rather than a general connection. I would have liked to have a read quote, for example, from the University of Michigan author. The same applies to your language comparison. Since your main focus is literature, you need to concentrate on using literature to strengthen your point. Although you gave examples such as "chips/fries", maybe you could have quoted a book where an author mentions his/her own experience with differences in language.
I enjoyed your topic overall - keep at it.
Thanks!
