America is considered a melting pot of both cultural and ethnic identities; accepting the diverse languages and religions of the world. In the essay about bilingualism “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” in the book Fields of Reading: Motives for Writing, Gloria Anzaldúa writes, “So, if you want to really hurt me, talk badly about my language. Ethnic identity is twin skin to linguistic identity - I am language. Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself” (172). Anzaldúa…

hands of the monarchy, while Wilhelm wanted to collect taxes to enlarge the army (Kagan). This conflict led to the appointing of Bismarck as chancellor. In an article called German Unification, it is stated that the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1848 aroused the ambitions of Prussians to form their own sphere of influence (German). This shows that Bismarck was ready to do what he could to make Prussia a strong power and unite Germany, even if it meant going against those who opposed his ideas,…

One of the major cause for the great changes during World War Era, 1890-1945, is the economic downturn. In fact most of the changes were done due to the economic crises. For example, the British debts from the Seven Years War brought England and colonists’ relationship to its knee, then again in 1780’s, the inflation of the Continental Currency forced the colonists to redesign the government system, thus constitution was adopted as the solution for strugger central government. No matter what…

Informal Border Language People shouldn’t be ashamed about the way they speak both English and Spanish at the same time. Yes, it may sound improper in the way they are communicating to another person especially if that person to which they are communicating to does not know Spanish at all. It’s proper to talk in one language while speaking to a person. Whether it’s English, Spanish or any other language sticking to one language sounds more formal. In my opinion, to me the only time that they…

Being completely honest I never had an option on being bilingual. I never had the option of weather or not to absorbing the words of those late night novelas that spilled out of my dimmely brightened living room television, or early morning songs filling the kitchen with Chayanne or Los Tigres del Norte, and I didn’t have a choice on weather I went to Catholic Sunday school where I wrote and recited dozens of prayers by memory. It was never a choice because it was part of me and my culture that…

In some countries like United States, many people of different race speak more than one language, that is because people from other countries migrate to United States to seek for better opportunities. Being the so-called Land of Opportunity United States is, it is also known for being a diverse country in terms of ethnic population. Hence, migration is linked to globalization, as well as, the issue with language. For instance, one commercial advertisement of Coca-Cola promotes diversity…

In the beginning of the two texts “A Poison Tree” by William Blake and “The Interlopers” by Saki, the main characters chose to ignore their anger rather than deal with it in a healthy manner. In “The Interlopers” the two main characters Ulrich and Georg have an enemy like relationship because of a long family feud due to Georg’s family poaching on Ulrich’s land. These two have never had an actual conversation about the feud and how to resolve it “the feud might, perhaps, have died down or been…

I have never contemplated what my life would be like if my first language was not English. What if it were Spanish, German, Dutch , or even Swahili? Taking into consideration that I am African American, I reside in Alabama, and the school that I attend means that by now I would be bilingual. Something about African American people that are bilingual or speak a different language has always astonished me. Having English as my first and only language always seemed highly boring. Merely because…

The theme in Saki’s, “The Interlopers” is better than Dahl’s, “The Lamb to Slaughter” because the theme is easier to understand. In the story “ The Interlopers” both characters start off the story with a very deep hatred for each other and this is very obvious. Saki says, “ The neighbor feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be the head of the family; if there was a man whom he detested or wished ill to it was Georg Znaeym ( Saki 1)”. These two men have had a big family…
