How does David Crystal win over so much logic and emotion from his audience? Do the rhetorical tools that Crystal uses aid in his overall success of the argument? Crystal is the author of many books on language such as “The Gr8 Db8” which discusses text language and its impact on society. The author’s undermined approach is shown through historical context, statistics and pathos to effectively reveal the mass spread of English, and the potential impact it will have on the world. Crystal connects with the audience to make them realize that something as simple as the language we speak, could have more of an impact on the world than ever imaginable.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Neat People vs. Sloppy People by Suzanne Britt. By the end of the piece it actually had me laughing out loud at the content. She tries to make you believe that a person who is neat is actually lazy and mean compared to someone who is sloppy. According to her neat people are very wasteful and she makes it seem as though sloppy people are resourceful, though I like to call it being a hoarder.
I agree with several points that this article makes. The first one being that translation is by nature is imperfect. To my way of thinking, translations are best conveyed with the reader is able to grasp the same emotions/connections that were intended by the original author. Language barriers play a huge role in translation because often, it is limited to the words that are common to both languages and the test are just depictions of the translators interpretation of the text. The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known.
“She must have felt in the corner of her eye me and over my shoulder Stokesie in the second slot watching, but she didn't tip. Not this queen.” Along with Queenie’s exuberant confidence, Sammy is lured in by her physical appearance and sexuality as well. Sammy describes Queenie’s bathing suit as “…a kind of dirty-pink - - beige maybe…with a little nubble all over it…” symbolizing the similarity between her light skin and the color of the bathing suit and the nubble representing goose bumps on her skin. He also explains that her straps being down, especially intrigued him. “With the straps pushed off, there was nothing between the top of the suit and the top of her head except just her...
Symone Jackson September 6, 2012 English 1001 Lingua Franchise In the article, Lingua Franchise, Charles Foran shares his experiences and knowledge on foreign tongues and how English is incorporated into other languages. Foran concludes that though there has been a ‘tidal wave’ of English among the globe, it is not putting any major languages to rest and that other countries are receptive to integrating English into their own language. The intended audience seems to be those who believe that English is dominating other languages into extinction. The author’s purpose is stated in a ‘matter-of-fact’ tone which attempts to convince readers that the wide spread use of English is harmless. The genre of the article is informative with examples from the author’s own experiences.
Ashlynn Burks Professor Fisher Psychology 170 30 August 2014 Misuses of Theory First off, the definition of theory from a dictionary is a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction. I think that people misuse the word theory because they think that theory and hypothesis go hand-in-hand which is totally not the case. The first example of how people misuse theory is in the film “Mean Girls”. The lead actor Cady Heron said that she had a “theory” that if Regina George cut off all her hair she would look like a british man. It is very clever, don’t get me wrong but she used it way out of context.
1.Hope can be the sole reason you are alive at this very moment, and the lack of it has caused thousands of deaths throughout history. A. The Glass Castle shows Jeannette's anticipation of better things to come in her life while she is a child. 1.Her first mention of it shows her childishness at the time, "When Dad wasn't telling us about [...] he'd start work on our Glass Castle. "(25) Jeannette, only four at the time, brags of her maturity, yet is still believes her father could actully accomplish this feat.
But if Pattyn pulled up a gun to her father’s face her would tell her he loves her but do you really think he is telling her the truth? I would have to say that “Burned” is one of the best books I have read so far. This book can relate to a lot of teenage girls right now. It explains how Pattyn is a nobody in school and she wants to find love because she is tired of being lonely. But eventually when she is sent to her aunt J’s house she found
It is considered a dialect of English and not a separate language. I have found in my research of Ebonics that there are many types of English. This is why Ebonics is thought to be slang when it is really a dialect. It works much like English language but with little differences. The biggest difference is that of the sound th, in Ebonics the th sound is d. So words like “those” are pronounced “dose”.
My grandparents, I can’t really say much about them, because I never got to meet my grandmother from my mother’s side, but the stories that mother tell me she sounds like a great person, pretty much a older version of my mom. My grandfather on my mother’s side on the other hand I can speak very highly about him, because I met him on more than one occasion. When you speak about pride he is the walking definition of the word. He was a very powerful man in Nigeria and when I met him I quivered, because he was that powerful of a man. The thing I can say that he did well was like I said take his pride to the next level, but he is the complete opposite of what my grandfather on my father’s side.
