W.S. Merwin immediately sets a tone for “Losing a Language” in the title, hinting at the lament-like characteristic of the poem. In fact, the title is not supposed to be a metaphor or even contain a hidden meaning that the reader must deduce by reading on. The poem is exactly what the title suggests: language and words, and thus communication, has been lost. Merwin creates a nostalgic and sad tone to emphasize the loss and quickly establishes the direction of the poem using simple diction. He carries this simple language, along with the mournful tone, into the rest of the work and does not stray from the subject. This allows the central idea, the loss of language, to not only persist throughout the piece but to become the dominant thought

Firstly, I would like to say that overall the film by all standards was not at all bad. When one thinks of a foreign film you might think of a really bad, poorly edited, or low funded film. With the major reason for it being foreign, the obvious reason being that it was not made in Hollywood. However, this movie takes all of the preconceptions about foreign films and turns it upside down. With a budget of nearly 5 million dollars (Instructions), and only being filmed in two locations in Mexico the movies overall quality is actually quite astounding. Furthermore, I would like to commend the directors and editors on doing Hollywood level job, creating and making the final product as it is better then something you might see in a low budget jaws knock off made here in the United States.

One of my personal all-time-favorite movies, The Proposal¸ directed by Anne Fletcher, is a drama/romance that illustrates “two people who weren’t meant to fall in love” (Lieberman, 2009).

The movie “The Visitor” is about a sullen, lonely widower, Professor Walter Vale, who has been teaching economics in college for 20 years. His life takes a new turn when he is assigned to deliver a conference paper held in New York and unexpectedly finds an illegal immigrant couple living in his New York apartment. Before he met Tarek, Mouna, and Zainab, Walter can be described as a reserved, cold, disinterested, and dispassionate person. His cold and withdrawn attitude and unpassionate life is irrevocably changed by their attitude toward life. He finds a passion and purpose; moves on from his past, becomes open to new experiences and people and is worldlier about his surroundings.

Originally published in the Wall Street Journal in 2010, Lera Boroditsky’s paper titled “Lost in Translation” analyzes the impact language has on thought. Formatted as more of a persuasive than truth seeking essay, Boroditsky begins by asking the reader if the language a person speaks shapes the way they think.

Although Boroditsky does not include more counterarguments, “Lost in Translation” is a well written article which demonstrates that languages indeed shape the way people think through her use of the Rhetorical Triangle, inductive logic, and her stylistic choices.

The next term that shows a better understanding of this movie is language. The use of language is a structure of symbols that can be arranged to express a meaning with groups of people. In the movie, it is apparent that both English and Spanish are used to communicate with characters. The use of language in this movie allows the comprehension of the Hispanic culture and it is easier for Spanish speaking people to relate to the story about a struggling family in Los Angeles. While English is used to represent the changes of adapting to a new country where it is necessary to speak English. Without the use of Spanish in the film, the translation of slang terms would not make sense in English. It would also not be appropriate due to fact that the
