Some early warning signs in the primary grades for dyslexia are a delay in speaking, difficulties with pronunciation or…

a very important skill in diversity management. “Language is a very complex thing, and communication between people speaking different languages is difficult. Language is a way of looking at the world, and even skilled translators can find it tricky to convey complex emotions and concepts, which can lead to misunderstandings”(Penn, n.d).

Thought and knowledge effect the way in which humans act and interact. Ultimately, “to leave Auschwitz outside of metaphor would be to leave it outside of language altogether.” (Young). Pushing it out of language keeps it from frames of knowledge and thus making it incomprehensible. In Jewish history, great…

Through metaphors science takes form as data and our imagination moves to create an interpretation by connecting the data to our own experience(Frye). “We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.” – author unknown. This metaphor gives a very clear…
