      Both make a good approach to an argument but the way Smitherman goes about it is very unique.  The language she uses in her article to explain the literacy and language of African Americans is much different then Delpit.  Delpit takes a more academic, run of the mill approach to the argument whereas Smitherman uses a very informal approach.  They both define their arguments but Smitherman's sort of rhetorical theme of "You won't understand this article ever" is a bit too "much" and actually kind of annoying.
