love. Not much is known of the author Marie de France. Although her name indicates that she was born in France, her writings imply that she must have spent a significant amount of time in England. Her collection of twelve lays were written in eight-syllable couplets and are a testament to her skillful writing ability. In contrast to Marie’s scholarly talents, most noblewomen prepared themselves for marriage and motherhood. It is no small feat that she managed to engineer…

groupings of the beats. In ”Hooked on a Feeling,” by Blue Swede a steadfast rhythm is displayed by the stressing of the quarter note of every beat. This is first shown in the opener where the backup singers are repeating “ooga-chaka” and the First syllable of every word is stressed. This is seen again where in the chorus, the cowbell is constantly playing on every quarter note. In “A Quick Exit” by Darren Mitchell the down beat of every measure is shown through different instruments play on the…

Why is it critical for teachers of reading to understand language foundations? Understanding language foundations It is critical for teachers to understand language foundations for the simple reason, they will be teaching students basic reading foundations. Many of these students will become struggling readers and will need to have the best reading teacher to help them become successful. I feel like this is such a natural and basic idea. If you want to learn a new skill, would you go to a…

They are usually about two dollars cheaper than a pair of TOMS. For each pair of BOBS purchased from their customers, Sketchers donates another pair of shoes to a child in need. They have a short, one syllable name. It should, because Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOM’s shoes, had the idea first. Mycoskie, on his travels to Argentina, saw hundreds of barefoot children. This inspired him to take a chance on his business and he eventually ended up with philanthropic…

Poetry is a way of expressing emotions, feelings, thoughts or a specific passion on paper. The passion of poetry grows on people the more they continue to write.

They are using imaginative language when pretending that the blocks are spaceships, however Nicholas and Sullivan in particular have background knowledge on this topic. This was seen when Sullivan stated “look through fis spaceship window”, make whooshing noises and when Nicholas and Sullivan are extending their arms about their heads and pretending the spaceships fly. Sullivan was also able to make connections between…

began writing down their “literary works” around 2500BC (1963: p.486). This script developed from a system of pictographs into a logographic script which meant it represented words whilst also being syllabic such that one sign might record a single syllable e.g. “ka” (Wikipedia, 2015). For an idea of the progression and mutation of this script, see figure one in the bibliography. The original pictographic script recorded lists of objects, such as “earthenware, leather objects … domestic…

01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100001 If I’ve caused any confusion, the above jumble of numbers simply means “hello!”—but in binary. And, while the above might not seem like a language, never mind a way of communicating, it’s how computers understand each other. Computers, like us, can speak many languages, too. I am captivated by language: etymology, regional differences, syntax. Whether it’s examining how the traditional brown and white dress worn by capuchin monks inspired…

Within the underdeveloped, malleable psyche of every person, young and old, there still resides the unavoidable capacity for self doubt. Within my own mind, this capacity was overwhelming. Plunging into the real world of the public school system from the safety of my coddled, private school lifestyle left my self confidence in shambles. Grades were no longer handed out with attendance and my meager, yet stable, social standing had failed to accompany me on my journey to a new school. Day by day…
