    Cultural Census Read Aloud

    By fall3n  |  Posted July 21, 2011  |  Charlotte, North Carolina
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     fall3n, from Charlotte, North Carolina, says, 'I find it amusing when I get that confused look when I explain that I am a southern girl. [...] I always end up saying "ya'll" or something to that effect so that they can hear it. My country accent usually comes out when I am speaking excitedly.'

    She believes that living in a college town with many different cultures, as well as working in a 'corporate environment' for 15 years has influenced her accent. 'I find my pronunciation to be more exact than it was, say 20 years ago,' she says.
    - elchueco, CNN iReport producer

    When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond the horizon."
