A name represents many things, for one it can be used to identify or call you by. But have you ever thought what your name or anyone name meant? In Hmong to shine brightly or be the light comes from the name Duab Ci or Doua Chee. It represents the sunlight and shadows or the brilliance and gloomy aspects of life. Everyone name represents a special meaning or unique saying. My family each has their own American name which everyone else calls them by and a Hmong name to refer or call them by in the family. Growing up I always had three name people called me by and that’s

My surname is alexander. This is an amazing name to have. It is latinized from the Greek name Alexandros Which means “ meant to defend, to defend , to help”. In Greek mythology Alexander is another name for the hero Paris. The name has been used by kings in Scotland, Poland, and 8 popes. The most famous Alexander is , Alexander the great.

It can be said that the United States has had vast influence over Canadian culture for many years, mainly due to proximity, to the point where it can be difficult to distinguish the experiences of the authors in question. As discussed in the lesson, this can cause issues when defining national forms of literature. However, it is because of this reason that literature is important, as it says a lot about the interactions between different cultures. It can show how two cultures are similar or not and therefore give readers an understanding of their own place in the world as well as the author's. Literature defines the perspective of the author, but also that of the reader, giving context to the relationships between certain countries. It can help us broaden our knowledge of other places, while questioning or affirming our beliefs in our own home. While reading novels such as Battle Royale and Things Fall Apart, you develop a sense of how things are in other places, and it's not difficult to then compare your experiences with those in the material you're reading. It certainly has given me reasons to become more educated about other cultures and to consider my own perspective in regards to my culture and country. This is why literature is also defined by perspective and the relationship between the author and the

Texts are a product of their literary nature and their context. This certainly applies to the Romantic Movement in Britain. The 1830s through to 1850s is when American literature emerged. After the American Independence War that ended in a victory over England in 1812, a new confidence and sense of national identity emerged. American writers reflected and wrote about the anxieties. Numerous writers and artists in the early 19th Century placed a special emphasis on the importance of Americans natural landscape for the development of national character. Americans became interested in literature centred on urban and natural life.

American literature has evolved greatly from the Native Americans to 1870’s. American literature has changed, it teaches us how we have become more independent ourselves. The World on a Turtle’s Back, a myth, The Scarlet Letter, a book in a puritan setting, and A Rose for Emily is a southern gothic story. American literature would not be the same today without these forms of writing. The teachings from these are passed down generation to generation.

American History, it has done so much in time that has affected how we live life today and how we interpret things. American Literature reflects that and all it has left us with. Throughout the stories and passages we’ve read this course all of them have left a impact on how and why the writers wrote about what they did. It was all because of American History which later went on and fathered American Literature. American Literature has made society how it is today and painted a vivid picture of how American’s and people live and many of these writers had that in mind when they took these notes.

Most of our lives we have been called a certain name, whether it was given to us by birth or a nickname that friends have called us, but each of us has a meaning behind our names and I am going to talk about mine. My first name is Jacob, which is a very common boy’s name in this current period of time. I have known Dumont, my last name, to be a French surname because of my father’s side coming from France and Italy. Furthermore, both my first name and last name have meaning of some sort and that is what I will go over in my essay.

Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn't do anything. –Marco Rubio Being one of Florida’s state senators and current 2016 presidential candidate I thought he would be a great senator to start talking about.

In the 1990s, he served as a City Commissioner for West Miami and was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2000.

My name is Lindsey Dice. Lindsey is from the English origin and it means “linden trees near the water.” To me, this means I have deep roots and am strong and stable, but surrounded by peace, serenity, and beauty. My last name, Dice, is also from the English origin and means “chance” or “luck.” I suppose I’ve been lucky throughout my life because I am surrounded by friends and family who I love and have been fortunate enough to always have the things I need and want in life. Our names are central to how we view ourselves in society, so in order to have good self esteem, we must love our name. I was born on April 1st, 1998 in the town of Saginaw, Michigan. I currently attend New Tech at Meridian High School and am duel- enrolled at Delta College. Playing the flute, yoga, and meditation are a few methods I use to express myself and calm down when I’m feeling anxious. My love for animals has encouraged me to convert to vegetarianism and not drink milk. After high school I plan on attending Central Michigan University to major in journalism and eventually move to New York. I am confident, sophisticated, and happy.

In German my name means home ruler. It means king. It is like the wind; strong, yet soothing. An energizing gust that one would welcome on a hot sunny day. It is like the symphonies that Beethoven conducted, vivid, strong symphonies.

What is the personal significance of your given name (first, middle, and last)? My given name is Kimberly Müller. The personal significance of my given name is very important to me because I want my name to always have something great behind it, that’s one of my goals. My surname came from Germany, I sometimes wonder how a German surname came all the way to Haiti. My first name is the most perfect name for myself, so I just have to thank my parents for that, my mother’s name starts with the same letter as my name.

My full name is Kiana Renae Savercool. My first name, Kiana is a feminine name of Hawaiian origin, meaning Moon Goddess, or (more commonly) princess. My mother chose the name while she was pregnant with me. Her and my older sister, Nyoka, were watching tv when an exercise lady came on. When my mother heard her name, she fell in love with it. Later on in her pregnancy, she considered changing it to Tiana, but in the end, she (obviously) chose Kiana.

I actually like my full name of Alexandria Hope Blankenship, because my father choose it for me. I do not get to see my dad as most people do, so it makes me feel special that he picked my lifelong name as something I will never forget. If I had the choice to change my name I do not think I would take the offer. Even if the definition of Alexandria doesn’t define me, I think everyone defines their own individual name

A name is not just what you’re called, it is who you are. It is what you stand for and ultimately defines you as a person. Growing up, I used to think my name did not fit me and that nothing that my name stood for had anything to do with me. Now that I am older, I understand the real meaning of my name and how the traits that are connected with my name relate to the person that I have become and continue to develop into. My name represents who I am and who I plan to be.

Freedom, perhaps the most reoccurring theme throughout the history of America. For this theme is what prompted the earliest American literature, freedom is the reason colonists first set foot in the new world, the reason for fighting against British rule, and so on. From then to following the civil war and on to today, literature has played a significant role in the shaping of the nation. Through the writings of many influential American authors, literature has dominated the ever-changing American culture. Through using various literary devices in their works such as dialect, symbolism, and conflict, they were able to demonstrate race, gender and culture to express the constant development of the America we know today.
