The English language is particularly complex in almost all aspects. Many of the words in the English language have different meanings for the same word. This is not unlike the definition of the different levels of usage. McCrimmon defines the three levels, formal, moderate, and colloquial, by their sentence structure, diction, and tone (McCrimmon 193). ¹ Using McCrimmon’s definitions, authors can determine what type of writing is applicable to each of the three levels. For the formal writings, an adequate example of where readers can find it is in a professional journal, and an appropriate place to find an example of the moderate level is in a weekly news magazine. Also, the best place to look for an example of the colloquial level is in certain sections of the newspaper. All of the levels of usage apply to these different types of writings and assist in defining what each level involves.

Through the use of low-key lighting, long-shot and dialogue, Hancock made me recognize the significance of friends and family by revealing to me the positive influence one young teenager can have on a range of people - in this case Michael is having a positive influence on Sean, his football team/coach and Leigh Anne. Not only did Michael influence these characters in a positive way, but they influenced him as well and changed him for the better. I'm concerned about the fact that our society is not improving instead it is becoming much worse with all the stereotyping that is rumoured. Avoid stereotyping others because you are not going to receive anything from it apart from putting others down. A million people did not believe in Michael at the start, but I am certain they changed their view on him

As one watches the first episode of season one; one could see Sheldon as an introvert. I saw the person as a guy that tends to want to keep certain aspects in his life the way it has been; never wanting someone new to intrude upon his daily life. It does seem however that Sheldon does give in to his roommate’s ideas from time to time for the sake of being a good person, but at the same time he gives his protest in his own way by giving some form of logic to any of his roommate’s ideas. It is fairly easy to see he voices his displeasure in participating on whichever he is asked to join with others, but in the form of logic he explains is unnecessarily long when in reality all he would need to say is no; Sheldon would often outright voice his thoughts in pointing out any flaws. No one in the cast seems to be angered by this at all, so I could assume that everyone just does not get annoyed much by him.

“Although not all communication is linguistic, language is by far the most powerful and versatile medium of communication, all known human groups possess language” (Gumperz 1968).

The Chamorro language is spoken in the Marina Islands and by many Chamorro’s in the western states of the United States and has been a powerful symbol of cultural identity for more than three hundred years. In my first research paper, I focused on the present-day Chamorro language and Guam. Throughout this research I will dive into globalization and revitalization of the Chamorro language as a whole. We will take a step back into time and develop an understanding of where the Chamorro language thrived from and how to keep it alive.
