Linguistic rights

Language is a tool that helps identify an individual.“If Black English isn't a Language Then Tell Me What is?” by James Baldwin emphasizes on how language defines the person. This is towards people who believe that there's one way to communicate or doesn't want to admit that they speak differently. They don't want to be submerged in the reality that they cannot articulate or they have an accent. The english language doesn't change its meaning by the way it is pronounced. As told in the piece of…

conflicting ideas and worlds surrounding English and Spanish. As he had only spoken Spanish with his family it had become an immensely personal language to him, and since he had been raised speaking and hearing the language it was much safer than its linguistic counterpart. English, for Rodriguez, was surrounded in fear. When recalling his shyness and reluctance nature in class, Rodriguez reveals, “But I couldn’t believe that English could be my language to use.”(Rodriguez, 6). He uses the polar…

Gesture Development According to Jarzynski (2013), gestures are a significant tool used to predict a child’s language. Gestures are an important indication of the child’s language learning path in that, when a child displays a gesture they are employing intentional communication, which is a stepping stone to verbal communication (Jarzynski, 2013). According to Jarzynski, an example of this is when a “nine-month-old child is reaching towards something he wants, while looking back at his mom”.…

Like Henry David Thoreau and his new word here take out constituents constituents promote, learning should be through experience. No physicist earns a degree through merely reading a textbook. They earn a degree through applying what they reading into the real world circumstances. In other words, they experience what they read. This is the intent of all novels. No author wrote a book in hopes that the reader wouldn't feel a connection or engagement to the story. Every author's intent is to…

Firstly I would like to state that my involvement with this project was not typical of the usual contribution I bring to group dynamics. This was due to personal issues and my inability to get to university for all the time tabled sessions. In previous group projects I have taken on more leadership roles for projects and have been in charge of the concepts and general direction of the work produced. However on this project as the team working together was much larger than what I am use to…

Shared Inquiry is a method of learning that enables people of all ages to explore the ideas, meaning, and information found in everything they read. The shared inquiry method centers on interpretive question, questions about a text that have more than one plausible answer. Discussion leaders employ the shared inquiry method to get participants listening, and responding to questions and answers from others in their discussion groups.If the participant digress from the main point, it is the…

Upon critique of the essay "Shakespeare," it is evident major technical issues exist; the presence of grammar and spelling errors, run-on sentences, meager and inappropriate word choice, inadequate selection of transitional words, and informal tone. This is evidently displayed through excerpts from the essay including, "... a school open to boys only by the way! they learned Latin ..." and, "... we no longer spend our days doing boring stuff like that!" Apart from these overarching technical…

When I started editing “Sticky Fins,” I knew I had a lot of work to do, but I didn’t know where to start. I wanted to improve the clarity of the poem so that it communicated the theme of invasiveness. In my final version, “their words,” I think I was able to do this. Although it may seem like a completely different poem at first glance, I used many of the major motifs, images, and themes that were part of the original version. For example, I expanded upon the images of “peanut butter” and…

Genre of Literature There are three main types of the literary genre which are poetry, drama, and fiction. These genres concentrate on literary technique, tone, theme, setting, characterization, and plot. Poetry is meant to be read and concentrates on expressing feelings and emotions, it’s a way of communicating by having readers think outside the box and read between the lines. While, fiction is typically a story that describes imaginary events. Drama is told through spoken remarks or acting…

they become effortless. Because these behaviors become automatized, humans no longer need to think carefully about every step needed to perform that action. A lot of the times humans do not know how these behaviors are done, instead they just know that it happens. The Stroop test in psychology was a test first described by John Ridley Stroop in the year 1935 in which he studied the interference in serial verbal reactions. The Stroop test analyzes the fact that the ability to ignore…
