You want me to write about the weight of words, okay. Challenge accepted, lets start with why. Words are a beautiful way to communicate but sometimes you need more, and its not enough and incomplete. To complete it we put wortheir not just sentence’s. Their emotions, gestures, ideas, thoughts and, that’s all were made of. You wanna know why they carry so much weight, such an impact because all it takes is for you to have told or to know a secrete, a truth, a confession. Once you know it or even if you told it, it feels like someone gave you actual put weights arounds into sentence’s, but there so much more than just the words and d your ankles and its pulling you down, making it harder to walk, to breath, to live. Think about a word that brings…

What is the “word?” We first see this “word” appear after Lily and Selden’s intense conversation in the library, where Selden was “groping for the word to break the spell” (p. 350) but can’t seem to find it. At first, this unknown “word” did not stood out to be anything particular, but as we progress to the end of the novel, this “word” reoccurs. Wharton never specifies what the “word” is, but its appearance in various contexts in the novel does allow readers’ to come to their own…

no one ever muttered a word. No one talked during breakfast, getting ready for school, after school, at dinner, or even before bed. There were no books around to read or a television set around blaring cartoons or educational shows. How would one’s vocabulary develop or increase if that were the case? Now imagine a household where talking amongst family members was always occurring. Parents were waking up asking their children “How did they sleep last night?”, stressing to them the importance of…

Word associations consist of reading words and the person must respond with the first word that comes to mind. I played a version of word association during elementary school following the basic rule but never viewed it as a psychodynamic therapy. This experience, however, was the first time I viewed word association in a therapeutic format. I did not know what to expect and did not know what type of meaning word association gives. I was hesitant at the beginning of the process because word…

In the poem “Words”, Dana Gioia expresses the theme of words being an accessory to life that humans seem to need through her use of diction, personification, and imagery. Words are a necessity to life Nature having its own language is seen through personification and diction. Gioia uses the word “articulates” when referring to the “sunlight, leaves, and shadows” to show that even they, nature, speaks (S 1, L 1-2). The word “articulate” is a rather peculiar word to use when referring to…

last words of Liesel’s novel are: “I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” (528). Words are an essential piece of Liesel’s life, which she shares both good and bad memories with and hopes to use for good, not evil. To exemplify this theme, Markus Zusak, the author, picks and apt setting: “She was a girl. In Nazi Germany. How fitting that she was discovering the power of words.” (147). This quote is significant as it connects the power of words to one of…

The study of Newspeak is very interesting, and it has it’s benefits and drawbacks. Getting rid of words from our human vocabulary can be helpful in that it makes speaking more efficient, easier to learn and to converse with, and removes bad words that are not okay in our society. But getting rid of excess words can also be a setback if it takes away words that help us describe stuff better and more vividly, If we were to start taking away unnecessary words from our vocabulary, that would be…
