The English Language

Education. Why is it such an easy word to understand but such a tedious task to accomplish? We come from a society that hands out education easily, however that education comes with a price. Jean Anyon explains this process through her research in From Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work. Anyon dissects the socio-economic class that determines the types of instruction students receive. Through her research one can compare her findings to Mike Rose’s narrative, I Just Wanna Be Average, to be true and insightful. Rose speaks of his high school life as an underachiever as well as his ability to break free from the mold that he was once placed in. Comprehending both Anyon and Rose, I, myself, have come face to face with the

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.

Applying the writing skills learned in English 101, which includes determining audience and purpose, organization, and grammar and mechanic usage, is also a major goal for students in their second semester of freshman English. The ability for a writer to determine their audience and purpose is essential for all writing. In my proposal essay advocating a plan to stop texting and driving I said “As the number of collisions from cell phone related distractions rises, something must be done to significantly reduce the regularity of this event. This problem affects all age groups, sexes, and ethnicities and it is in our hands as drivers to create safer, more responsible roadways.” In these two sentences, I stated the purpose of my argument which

When I think of writing I think of peace and pressure all in one. I love writing when it's just me writing to myself releasing my frustration on to paper. I might write poems, letters, or just dairy entries but it's my peace filled moment. I start to think of writing as pressure when I thinking about writing anything anyone be sides myself will read. I have always pushed myself to do well in my writing courses yet I tend to fall short do to simple mistakes. I start to over think or over look simple things that make great impacts on my grades.

Throughout my educational years, I had only done writings that involves in small research papers, MLA style essays, and summary essays. However, English 101 has given me a new way to look at my writing skills. Most of the writings I have been doing so far in this course were interpretative essays where we interpreted and reflected on other’s writing and then reflecting back to ours own writing. This class also has given me the opportunity to work with my classmates and a chance to discuss about the writing strategy they made in their papers versus the strategy I made in my papers. In addition, I find the in-class activity to be very useful because it allows me to see other’s perspectives and feedbacks. The in-class activities were class discussions, group works, and conference with the instructor. At the end of the semester, the class objective was to pick out two best interpretative essays that we have been working on with a final reflective essay to include in our final portfolio. So for the rest of this essay, I would like to talk about my two best interpretive essays that I have decided to include in my final portfolio: “Death of a Funeral Business”, and “No Time to think” and “Time Ain’t Money”.

Everyone has a different interpretation of the word, “invention”. However the word is simply defined as; a new device, method of process developed from study and experimentation. An invention is just a mental fabrication; it’s a falsehood (Dictionary.com 2013).1 Although in the essays, “Why I write” by Joan Didion, “Life in a new Language” by Eva Hoffman, and “Basmati Rice: An Essay about Words” by Audrey Thomas, each author has their own view on the English language, how they each began inventing their own writing styles, and also their reasons for why they chose to become writers. These are the three things that make their definitions of invention very particular and their own.

Language is the use of complex symbols, whether spoken, shown through movement, or behavior, to communicate with others. Language may be used to share an idea, experience, thought or feeling that a person has with others that are familiar with the symbols and patterns used. Those who use a specific language must follow the rules of the language, such as grammar and syntax, to communicate with others effectively and meaningfully. Language is important in the field of cultural anthropology because it varies from culture to culture as well as within the same culture. Dialects of a culture can allow an anthropologist to identify where an individual or group came from and the reasons why their dialect has formed the way it has. Language gives anthropological researchers the opportunity to study a culture through the variations of sounds and movements the citizens of that culture make.

To be fluent in any language, one must be literate. The definition of “literate” in this case refers to the ability to read, write, and speak and language without the aid of a secondary source in a respectable, normalized way. This is easily said but difficult to do in certain cases. English is known for its many rules, and infamously known for the exclusions to all of the rules. As a result, I have had my fair share of mispronouncing words because they were exclusions to a rule. On the other hand, it took me less time to develop a sense of literacy in Spanish, as it is pretty structured grammatically and is phonetic for the most part. Every sound is accounted for and there aren’t as many exclusions or exceptions to get hung up on. Even

Spanish is the language of choice for us born on that beautiful tropical island called Puerto Rico. It is the first language that those born on this island are taught out tradition more than anything. It is how we communicate with each other, it is how we obtain what we utmost desire and want. Why you ask? Since it is the native language of an island that while is a United States territory is not a state of the United States. While English is taught in all schools in Puerto Rico, Spanish is the language you are taught from day one as it is the language used in all Puerto Rican homes. English is taught in schools, however in my case, not until after you start school which is around the age of five, if not later depending on where you attend school. Spanish, however, is a language that can be forgotten if not used regularly as I learned no more than a few months ago while my parents were visiting us, in the beautiful Rocky Mountain state of Colorado.
