Accent

It was masculine and had a slight British accent, the kind of accent that has been lessened over time by being surrounded with people equipped with a Northern American accent. “It adds a slight macabre touch to my otherwise routine job” the second voice responded. It was masculine as well, but deeper than the first speaker and without the accent. “and it knocks them out quicker.” The sound of them all laughing followed and I heard a third…

he did , but again,I did not get what he said.I was embarrassed and so I said “ sorry I can not understand what you say , my English is very bad”. He replied “ only if you have an American accent”.

As a hearing individual who had no interaction with the Deaf community prior to enrolling in American Sign Language courses at the University of Pittsburgh, I previously had essentially no knowledge or understanding of Deaf culture. Gradually, I have increased my knowledge and awareness of Deaf culture and the Deaf community, but I have much more to learn because but there are always questions about Deaf culture and community that I still do not know the answer to.

An excellent way to illustrate a difference in culture or ethnicity is in an interracial relationship. Established on personal experience, I have concluded that interracial relationships can be very demanding and effortful, particularly when there is a great significance in cultures.

drug-addicted. Therefore he is unable to control his feeling and also habitually sniffs noses. I believe this would be important because it is the most distinct personality of the actor’s character.

was in California watching this all happen in front of me. There are many things that go into making the audience feel involved in the play/musical. The things that often make the audience feel involved are the character’s clothing, their speech/accent, and the set pieces. The first thing that you notice when you walk into a theater is the set of the play. Specific pieces play a significant role in demonstrating the storyline. In the play Of Mice and Men, they were rich in detail. The set was…

Fortunately, the neighborhood where they reside is an immigrant neighborhood. This, in a way, helps them to adjust to the U.S. life. A lady took Rosa to work in a clothing factory where most of the employers are the undocumented immigrants. Even though Rosa could not speak English, she can get the job by having other immigrants as her ‘sponsor.’ As illustrated in this film, immigrants tend to reside in a certain area.

I am able to interact with people and do everything a normal kid would do, even if they say I have an accent it does not affect me at all. I have accepted who I am.

Outside of school every person is different they are not affect by the label their peers gave them in…
