Unlike Heaney’s translation, Raffel’s translation uses a capital letter at the beginning of every line. His use of these capital letters can be assumed to be for his unique style; however, only more confusion is created. On top of capital usage for sentence beginnings and proper nouns, his overuse of capital letters can be sometimes frustrating for the reader because it makes the last line seem as it is a complete thought, when grammatically it is not. In the end, his usage of capital letters does not pose a significant problem, but only a slight impediment. The most obvious difference between the two translations of Beowulf as the story continues is the length.

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.
Jacques de Liege objected to the Ars Nova and defended the “ancient art”. He believed that the people appreciated and enjoyed the ancient motets and the ancient manner more than the new. Many arguments were made against the “new art” Ars Nova. Motets were the initial musical works by Philip de Vitry to represent the Ars Nova. The motets sung in Latin used isorhythm creating equal rhythm throughout.
Karl Pilkington speaks with a Manchurian accent, so the way in which he pronounces particular words will reflect his Northern roots. Like Pilkington, Billy Connolly’s accent and dialect reflect the comic’s Scottish roots. Both Billy Connolly and interviewee Roxanne come from very different backgrounds. Billy speaks with a Glaswegian accent, while Roxanne is the last and only resident of Glenrio. The biggest clue to Billy Connolly’s background is given away in the first sentence, ‘Go an have a wee word with her I think’.
Later, we'll find out the two boys have the same father, but notice how Hosseini is laying the groundwork for that revelation. The two boys might as well be brothers: they learn to walk together, they learn to speak together, and they feed from the same breast. Which brings up an interesting question: What does Rahim Khan's revelation – that Amir and Hassan are half-brothers – really change? Aren't the two already brothers in everything? Or does "blood" fundamentally change Amir's relationship with Hassan?
The data Gladwell presents is credible as it comes from primary sources such as Ranadive himself and quotes from Lawrence’s diary and other reliable sources such as the late general Maurice de Saxe. Overall, this composition is very elaborate and intricate. Gladwell proves his mindset by writing the article itself in an unconventional, yet entertaining, way. The only recommendation we have for Gladwell is for the article to be like a smoothly flowing river as opposed to the river with many waterfalls it is now. Simply put, as readers we feel that his articles jumps back and forth too much and too quickly.

The following passages come from the poem Beowulf Lines 1724 to 1757, Where the king, Hrothgar of the Danes, is giving Beowulf advice on how he ought to rule his kingdom when he becomes king. He tells Beowulf he needs to take care of himself because old age will catch up and to be generous in sharing. Hrothgar sees beowulf as a son and wishes the best for him. (line 947) “ I adopt you in my heart as a dear son”. “It is a great wonder how all mighty God in his magnificence favours and race with rank and scope”(line 1729).
Twins have long been used for nature vs. nurture studies, although not ethical to intentionally separate twins to be raised and studied, every once the opportunity arrives for a retrospective study of just that situation. The “Twin Jims” is the study of twin boys separated shortly after birth and raised apart, both adoptive parents coincidentally named the boys James, but that’s far from where the similarities end. At the age of 39 the men were reunited and the Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research involved them in an ongoing research project, In 1979 the study began and since then they have found that an identical twin reared away from His or her co-twin seems to have an equal chance of being similar to the co-twin in terms of personality, interests and attitudes as one who has been reared with his or her co-twin. ("Twin Studies," 2007, p. 1) Studying of the “Jim Twins” revealed both physical/medical similarities as well as personality/preference similarities, in school both did poorly in
