Aladdin's Use Of Language In Jafar Speak

He shows a quality of a good father, being proud of his child’s achievements, when he watches his son graduate from high school. He tells Amir that : “‘I am moftakhir, Amir,’ he said. Proud.” (Hosseini 139). Baba’s development as a father is further showcased with him expressing his delightness to his son graduating. This is a far cry from where he often gave Amir a word of encouragement or a sign of recognition back in Afghanistan. Now, he starts to build a stronger connection with his son by communicating to him genuine interest and complements. Likewise, Baba continues to praise Amir’s skills as a writer towards other and he expresses this towards General Taheri when he says: “ Amir is going to be a great writer…. He has finished his first year of college and earned A’s in all of his courses.” (Hosseini 147). This passage conveys to one that he has changed to be a better father than what he is seen to be in the earlier parts of the novel. Now in the latter parts of the novel, one can see how confident and proud he is of his son. He is certain that his son is going to become a great writer and that is not a sentence that one would expect from him due to his earlier thoughts of Amir in the novel. Moreover, Baba shows that he is a good father when he expresses how happy he is to see his son has grown when he is going to a lafz with

Different social, professional and cultural contexts may affect relationships and the way people communicate due to of a lack of understanding or knowledge of one another’s background and culture. This could be through their race, religion, ethnicity or where they come from. Each one of these can have similar or very different ways to communicate. For example

Aladdin is a proletariat, trying to stay alive by stealing food. Due to his social class, he is unable to wed princess Jasmine because a law forbids commoners to marry royalty. On the other hand, Jasmine is part of the bourgeoisie. Trying to overcome this obstacle, Aladdin pretends to be a prince through one of his wishes granted by the genie. However, the evil Jafar uncovers him and eventually this conflict is solved by Jasmine 's father, Sultan. After seeing the courage of Aladdin, he changes the law and allows a commoner to marry his daughter. This compromise happened due to the conflict of social class between the poor commoner and high royalty.

The film “American Tongues” documents a variety of English accents that are present across the United States and highlights a lot of the opinions people have about accents and people who speak these accents. A large majority of the people who express opinions about other peoples’ accents tend to express negative views, as they see their own accent as the superior one. The film focuses on showing the array of accents found in the U.S., but also how a lot of people who speak these “inferior” accents work to learn “Standard American English” to increase their chances of getting jobs and communicating in more official domains. Although the film was made in 1988, it expresses views still present in today’s society towards different accents, as people tend to continue judging others based not only on what they say, but also how they say it.

Literary Analysis of Aladdin Disney’s Aladdin is a film that attempts to stereotype and westernize Arab culture. Using racially inaccurate stereotypes, an inaccurate depiction of The Middle East, as well as countless cultural generalizations, Aladdin creates a setting of “exotic orientalism” and Islamaphobia. “[Aladdin depicts…] the Arab world as backwards and irrational, the film’s distorted ethnic representations fuel the western world’s fear of alternity and perpetuates dangerous stereotypes.” (Heydt).

This is made clear through his overwhelming loyalty to Amir, who hasn’t earn it in anyway. He establishes this loyalty as a child and carries it throughout his entire life. Perhaps the best example of this is when he is going to run the winning kite for Amir and he says “For you a thousand times over!”(Hosseini, 67). This line is repeated more times throughout the book because of the immense meaning it holds.

In the examining and writing my analysis of the article Mother Tongue by Amy Tan, I hope to appeal to an audience that wishes to expand their knowledge of the cultural use of various languages and their social impacts. In this case, the language would be English and the culture would be that of Asian-Americans. I would think that this work, and the analysis of, would primarily be of interest to those in academic or research fields of sociology and language. I would hope the reader of my analysis would be interested in gaining insight into how using a “broken” English system heavily influences one’s communication and feeling towards those outside of your culture. The analysis would benefit the reader by

In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir and Hassan's first words were significant to each character and the development of the novel. Amir's first word was "Baba"; he wanted to make him proud, which proved to be a difficult challenge. Hassan's first word "Amir"; he loved Amir with all his heart and was raised to be loyal but when he really needed him Amir was not there for him. It also foreshadowed how the character would leave a long lasting effect on the other character's life. Amir and Hassan's first words signified how even as a small child they knew who they wanted to accepted them.

The animated classical Disney movie Aladdin has became one of the most successful movies since it was released in 1992. This movie may seem to be fairy-tale based and entertaining for children since they are the main target audience of Disney, but with a deeper look into its details this is not the reality of it. The ideas that children are exposed to from watching this movie help create and structure their mindsets as well as reinforcing unrealistic images of the Arabian world. In addition, Aladdin is a great illustrative tool in reflecting the concept of Orientalism, a term coined by Edward Said, which emphasizes on representing the Orient with certain clichés and characteristics that are misleading about the true nature of reality (Said, 1978). With that been said, this review paper will be focusing on the main characters and the way they are

Regional dialects were seen to be used by those from a lower class and being less intelligent. However, regional dialects were given points for sounding warm, trustworthy, friendly and honest. These positive connotations are usually for rural, beautiful landscapes. To find this, he got the same actor to read a passage but in different accents and listeners had to score them.

In Gloria Anzaldúa article “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” she shows us how different worlds so close can be so different. Anzaldúa shows that people have restricted freedom in society by the social norms set in them. Anzaldúa pressed her awareness and distraught on how people treat her depending on the type of language she uses. She also explains some of her emotions towards the way people are like with speaking and listening to accents. The article is how Anzaldúa explains how culture and accent shapes a person’s identity by being controlled and oppressed to fit into the social norms, which is how she creates cracks using language and code switching.

Joyce uses diction to support the overall tone of “Araby,” through his use of words and phrases such as “had grown somber. . .” (Joyce 400) and “musty. . .” (Joyce 400). The verbiage he uses constructs a dull and increasingly gloomy image as if darkness is enclosing the town being depicted. Word choices like “waste. . .” (Joyce 400) and “useless. . .” (Joyce 400) convey the stagnant environment that encases the lifeless neighborhood the boy lives in. Joyce communicates the dreariness that cloaks Dublin by using dreadful adjectives to describe the setting. The young boy’s short lived “confused adoration” (Joyce 401) for his friend’s sister, is depicted using feminine words in association with her, such as “petticoat. . .” (Joyce 401) and “soft. . .” (Joyce 400). When the speaker is professing Mangan’s sister’s control over him, he proclaims, “[m]y body [is] like a harp and her words and gestures [are] like fingers running upon the wires” (Joyce 401). The boy reveals his ignorance by incorrectly calling harp strings, “wires. . .” (Joyce 401). This simple error portrays his confusion about his own feelings and the reasoning behind them. The author uses diction to support the tone of the short story, “Araby,” through his choice of words that reveal both the glum atmosphere of the setting and the naive affection being displayed by the speaker.

Amir, representing the Pashtuns and high-society Afghanis, allows himself to degrade Hassan, the face of the mere Hazaras of the lowest class rank. Through the eyes of Amir, it seems as though Baba preoccupies himself passing time with his comrade Rahim Khan; when he sporadically attempts to involve Amir in his life, Baba always suggests that Hassan accompany them in their daily adventures leaving Amir questioning why his father tries desperately to avoid alone time and bonding moments with his son. The initial occurrences in which Amir witnesses Baba's immediate affection for Hassan drive Amir's negative mental attitude and envy towards his only companion Hassan.

There are many indicators of identity by which we are made known individually, socially and culturally; the best of these would be language and how it has shown great flexibility in accommodating the needs of people. Through language people have been able to establish their identities and cultivate friendships with others who share the same common ground. By looking at accents such as Broad Australian English, slang and phonological features as they apply to Australian varieties, we can see how it has forged solidarity and assisted in creating an identity on an individual and national scale.

Language, culture and individual personal attributes are all things we consider when describing what identity is and how it is influenced. Culture influences many aspects of an individual's life such as traditions, belief systems, norms, personal values and more. A language is a form of expression, it also reveals a person's origins such as what country they are from. Both culture and language shape a person's identity and can make an individual feel as though they belong. Translations by Friel not only does a great job of demonstrating the importance of language and cultural identity but also shows how easily both can be stripped from a society.
