...In the Florida Language Arts State Standard 3.1.6.3, concerning vocabulary, it states “a student will use context clues to determine meanings of unfamiliar words.” In the text, Winnie the Pooh, the word “gorse” is used in the sentence “He crawled out of the gorse-bush, brushed the prickles from his nose, and began to think again.” Since gorse is a vocabulary word that is considered above third-grade level, the text used surrounding words to help the reader identify the meaning of the word. In this case, as the reader studies the words that surround “gorse”, they will read the words “bush” and “prickles”. Thus, helping the reader determine that the meaning of gorse must be some type of bush that contains thorns on it. Which, indeed, is the meaning...

...studying the characteristics of their language. My recent interest into different cultures and languages has led me to the discovery of an amazing group of people called the Massaii tribe. The Massaii tribe is an ancient tribe who lived in the eastern part of what is now called Central Africa. Through the recent discovery of the Massaii language, anthropologists and linguists have been able to infer the following traits about the Massaii civilization: they live in a welcoming environment and sustain themselves by practicing agriculture and breeding, value art and culture, are family-based and are a peaceful society. Amazingly, the Massaii tribe has different terms for the environment surrounding them. They have three words to designate the physical makeup of the terrain which are: “absolutely flat”, “rolling”, and “slightly hilly”. Perhaps the land is flat and expanded in some areas, and has rolling hills in others. They have no word for “ocean”. This could mean they live somewhere Lagueu 2 inland far away from the coastline. While the language does not...

...BASBAS, BEVERLY GARABILES BS Accountancy Journey to the World of Words “Not to know is bad, not to wish to know is worse.” We can relate the proverb above to the significance of knowing something. Something that is worthy to be learned and discovered. Something that takes a very important role in our daily intellectual intercourse. Something that you are actually using as part of your everyday lives but in the end of the day, we’re not even reminiscing all of those if they were used effectively or unconsciously hurt someone’s feelings. ---- “WORDS!” Every word that comes from our mouth is part of our personal and social responsibility as a human. So, with this great accountability we must consider ourselves to be an instrument in studying the meaning of words that we are exploiting every second. Should I say, we must give importance to SEMANTICS which focuses on the relations between signifiers such as words, phrases, signs and symbols and what they stand for or their denotation. The word semantics itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language to denote a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation. When I was in high school, I had a hard time in choosing the appropriate word for my sentence from a couple of somewhat synonymous words. For me, this is not just an ordinary problem because I am chosen as the editor-in-chief of our school paper and often selected to be the representative...

...almost exactly in the middle of the page and takes up quite a bit of space. I think the reason for this is because it’s important to express to the reader how angry, mean and shocked Yuzan is when he finds out his son cooked the Dashi dish. The top tier consists of two panels, one rounded edge word balloon and two jagged edged word balloons. Since we are reading, not hearing, the conversation, it is a little hard to understand how things are being stated (i.e. tone, pitch, or loudness). I believe the artist makes up for this through the characteristics of word balloons. Simply based on what is said in each word balloon, I have come to the conclusion that if the word balloon has a jagged edge, then it represents a more powerful, angry or important description. If the word balloon has a smooth or rounded edge to it, then the voice is most likely softer, less important or a conversation happening in the background of the scene. The appearances of the word balloons are also methodically placed. In the panel where Yuzan is yelling, one of the word balloons is cut off by the outline, while the other spreads across and overlaps the outline of the panel. I think the artist placed the jagged edged word balloon in such a way that it gives it more power or a “boom-like” affect. The second tier from the bottom, first panel, is...

... Galway Kinnell In the story “Blackberry Eating”, Galway Kinnell compares the beloved past time of eating berries with his love of expressing language in verbal communication. He uses the sound devices to develop how he enriches his poem to show his love of language and words. He uses alliteration to give meaning and depth to words. Kinnell also uses consonance heavily in this poem to lead the reader through the poem. He uses cacophony to slow down the reader to deliver emphasis on certain words. The title starts off with a cacophonic phrase. “Blackberry Eating” starts off rolling off your tongue with the first word. Then you encounter “Eating”, this word breaks up the flow of the title. This stops the reader and makes them assess the action that is occurring with the berries. In the phrase, “the stalks very prickly, a penalty” you stop and restart. You are led back to prickly with the word penalty. You get the understanding that the thorns are a punishment to the reader for enjoying the forbidden meal derived of the “black art of blackberry-making”. Another example of cacophany is the use of the letter B in the poem. The use of black, blackberries, breakfast provide a bounty of bold words that give a movement to the work that is very melodic. Alliteration is used throughout the poem to create a slippery, smooth progression of the poem. When he says “black blackberries” it describes the richness and ripeness of the fruit. Another example is “silent, startled”...

...idea or defend a point/main purpose. I agree with Orwell in which he has stated writing is not all about the wording and strong use of grammar. What makes good writing is the idea behind it and the detailing put into it. In his essay "Politics in the English Language", he explains how dying metaphors, operators or verbal false limbs, pretentious diction, and meaningless words are all just space fillers and are unimportant to the essay itself. He believes they are just a way for the writer to stall and drag on their work. There is a "half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.” Words are meant to flow “naturally” and at ease. Instead, modern-day writers, and past writers as well, have made the mistake of forcing words and jumbling them together defeating their purpose in the process. Now, although it is true that the way it is worded doesn't really make up the point of the essay, the wording is still a strong part of the writing. "Correct grammar and syntax" show proper writing skills and demonstrate that the author is knowledgeable in the art of writing a good, strong, and solid essay. Pretentious diction specifically increases character and uniqueness to the writing and makes it more...

...burning clove. When stiff and sore and scarred I take away my hand From leaning on it hard In grass and sand, The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength To feel the earth as rough To all my length. “To Earthward” by Robert Frost exemplifies the concept of how attraction and love change over the years from youth to bitter love to a love that craves relief from the pain of life. Frost begins the poem’s first stanza with the lines “Love at the lips was touch/As sweet as I could bear”. With this opening phrase Frost shows that youthful love is consumed with simple kissing and the simple art of kissing is like a sweet. This was so sweet that he could scarcely bear it. Frost uses the alliterative words “love” and “lips” to emphasize the image...

...Why is my name constantly spelled wrong? Typically a person says their name and it gets spelled correctly, but not for me. Multiple spellings exist for my name, but only one matches me. Britney is one of the spelling variations and it is my favorite. The spelling I use matches my personality traits quite well. Nevertheless, Britney is the perfect fit. According to Kabalarians.com, Britney correlates with the characteristic of a passion for creativity and artistry. Projects are my favorite assignment in school. In 9th grade, my English class had an assignment that included a power point and an art piece. My project was based on the culture of superheroes, for the art piece part of the project, I designed a superhero. My brother was used as...

...when they learned to read and write. In fact, most people do not. I am one of those people that do not. So, this is not so much a story of “how” as much as it is a story of some recollections of my journey through literacy as a whole. From my first big kid book, to learning a new language, and everything in between. Not all of these recollections are necessarily positive ones, though. My father had a lot of negative influence on me when I was younger, and I believe he is the reason I am still not the greatest student. Once when I was in first grade, my class was taking our weekly spelling test. None of the words were particularly difficult, considering we were only in first grade. In fact, I specifically remember the word “pie” being one of the words. For whatever reason, though, I could not seem to keep up with my teacher as she called out the words. She would call out a word, and before I could finish writing, she had already called out the next, and the next, and the next. Eventually, being the cry baby I am, I started sobbing uncontrollably because I was sure I was going to fail. In the middle of the test! Once she realized I was crying, she turns to me and asks, “What’s wrong?” I felt way too embarrassed to tell her and the whole class that I could not keep up with them, so I ended up blurting out, “I just miss my dad.” My dad had been in and out of jail due to DUIs for most of my childhood, and this happened to be a time when he was in jail. I honestly did not expect Ms...

Few have abilities so much needed by the rest of the world as to be caressed on their own terms; and he that will not condescend to recommend himself by external embellishments must submit to the fate of just sentiments meanly expressed, and be ridiculed and forgotten before he is understood. --Samuel Johnson Men must be taught as if you taught them not; And things unknown propos'd as things forgot. --Alexander Pope Style in painting is the same as in writing, a power over materials, whether words or colors, by which conceptions or sentiments are conveyed. --Sir Joshua Reynolds Whereas, if after some preparatory grounds of speech by their certain forms got into memory, they were led to the praxis thereof in some chosen short book lessoned thoroughly to them, they might then forthwith proceed to learn the substance of good things, and arts in due order, which would bring the whole language quickly into their power. --John Milton Introduction Good writing depends upon more than making a collection of statements worthy of belief, because writing is intended to be read by others, with minds different from your own. Your reader does not make the same mental connections you make; he does not see the world exactly as you see it; he is already flooded daily with thousands of statements demanding assent, yet which he knows or believes to be false, confused, or deceptive.
