or personal thoughts that the reader is given to understand the characters. Due to this, the character development shown throughout the book is seen by the word choice of the letters alone. Since Nollop is an island that treasures language to a high standard, it would make sense that the reader sees the characters through the eyes of written word. After reading Ella Minnow Pea, I was amazed at how Mark Dunn had been able to strategically pull off this type of writing, and was able to show…

The course, “Common Usage Errors” shows that often these mistakes come into play because of commonly confused word pairs, commonly misused words or idiomatic use of prepositions. Commonly confused words can sound very similar or have a meaning that is close to another word – for example, affect or effect. Combining verbs, nouns, or adjectives with prepositions can also be confusing because their meanings can change depending on context and…

Examples CMT In Book II, Chapter 3 (342.30–32), Joyce employs the portmanteau word “swapstick”, combining the words “swap”, “stick”, “slapstick” and “swastika”: “This eeridreme has being effered to you by Bett and Tipp. Tipp and Bett, our swapstick quackchancers, in From Topphole to Bottom of The Irish Race and World.” Donaldo Schüler’s (2002, p. 303) translation of this passage retains the concept of “slapstick” with the term “fragorosos farsantes” [rackety masqueraders], but omits any…

the word has a meaning beyond that which is conventional. Here, the italicized “is” denotes the world outside of the cave, the world of philosophy. However, this interpretation could only have been reached with the use of italics; otherwise, the reader would have overlooked the word and not seen the meaning behind it, which is a crucial point in the allegory.

My ideal grade level for teaching would be first grade. In first grade, students are still learning the basics of reading and writing. I believe in first grade is a big transition from kindergarten because students begin to read fluently and comprehend what they are reading. I believe the big goals in first grade are to read simple stories and write about a topic that that means a lot to them. Teachers can do this by using different teaching strategies throughout the school year, with centers…

Before reading the textbooks, completing the discussion boards, workshops, and projects of READ 3356, I had never taken into consideration the vast range of connections between literacy and content areas in educating children. Literacy has been a universal theme throughout my undergraduate courses at Tarleton; yet, none discussed the importance of integrating literacy into content area instruction. Consequently, several new ideas about content literacy were processed throughout this course.…

In the class, I started out by grasping at glamorous words to throw on a paper, as one would catch fireflies in a night sky. Feeling unsure of what was going on and doing what i thought was expected, I knew I was not meeting the challenges on my own. During the process, our class shared papers with the one other, including our teacher, for an editing process to find where our paper needed more flexing in order to improve its weaknesses. Through reading aloud joined with personal readings of my…

Introduction When I was on a train, I started a conversation with a woman and excitably described a new state of mind. I told her my life had improved after I employed a different system of thought. At the beginning, she was dubious of my motives and asked “You’re not a scientologist, are you?” My mental fog had cleared, a metaphysical understanding took its place and our brief conversation influenced me to find more ways to articulate it. The initial reasoning behind this report was to have my…

combined to form words” and “the way symbols can be arranged,” which are simply how the language is organized and interpreted to their speakers (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor, 2015, pg. 141). There are also semantic rules, which “govern our use of the language,” in other words, “the meaning of statements” (Adler et. al, 2015, pg. 141). This is how it established that a particular word associates…
