Blackburn wanted to apologize for not coming to his class after Howe had so generously let him attend. He told Howe that he had took on more extracurricular activities then he could perform. “Howe had noticed the absence and had been a little irritated by it after Blackburn’s elaborate plea (292). This is very strong evidence that Howe is irritated by Blackburn. Yet the manipulative Blackburn still had another favor to ask of Howe. Since Blackburn was the secretary of “Quill and Scroll” he wanted Howe to address them on the Famous “Life and Letters” article wrote about him. Blackburn wanted him to read some of his poetry and defend his point of view. After a long analysis of Blackburn’s face and a try at avoiding the question, Howe gives the answer, “suppose we wait until next term? I’ll be less busy then” (293). The avoidance of Blackburn’s questions shows how irritated Howe is. He tries to escape but Blackburn is persistent. Back in his office Howe refers to the encounter as “less funny…in some intermediate way disturbing” (293).

Language can be considered a social process in that it is continually changing and evolving as a result of its context. Just like a fish, language is a dynamic being and as soon as it is placed in its natural environment, is in constant motion (Grugeon & Gardner, 2000). As time progresses and technology advances, language too adapts and changes to align with its environment. This concept is referred to as Diachronic change (Gardner, 2017b). As the social values and ideals change over time, certain words and terms die out or become redundant, for example, words such as ‘damsel’, ‘hearken’ or ‘habiliment’ (Oxford University Press, 2017). In a similar way, as society develops new ideas and concepts, new words are born, and language adapts to reflect

and the audience, and secondly, by speaking in an active voice to let the sophisticated audience know of the importance that his argument brings.

In the words of Samuel Adams, “It does not take a majority to prevail but rather a tireless, irate minority, keen to set brush fires in the people’s minds.” I do agree to the statement that it takes a minority to make the people realize what changes must be brought but I do not confirm to the views that it does not take a majority to prevail. According to me most process to start changes are started by a small group of people but if the group does not enjoy the support of the majority, the revolution is doomed for failure. In my opinion, it is not feasible for a minority to go against the wishes of the larger group and bring a

As the title claims, this article explains how Stephen Curry had the best NBA season of all time. It does so with 3 reasons: He's the only player ever to average 30 points a game while only playing 36 minutes a game, he had the best shooting season ever as well as the fact that he carried his team to a record breaking 73 regular season game wins.

When I first signed up for University 101 back over the summer I thought that this class was a waste of time, and was just an easy credit. But I was wrong. University 101 ended up being my most demanding class and I was upset because I felt like none of the journals, activities, and discussions were useful or even worth my time. But I was wrong again. My UNV 101 class was different from the rest, it was different because I was a part of Opportunity Network. Opportunity Network has three instructors and I was very grateful to have Ms. Ebony to be my UNV 101 professor. Ms. Ebony and I became extremely close during this semester. Ms. Ebony encourage me to do nursing again ,even when I wanted to give up and start all over because I wasn’t doing

This grammatical feature allows for the writer to explain, and the reader to comprehend, the time at which the action of the verb takes place.

The purpose of doing this confuses me, and appears absolutely counter-productive in teaching people to effectively use language, apparently causing a decrease in the ability to communicate information, as suggested in chapter ‘4.1 the tate era and beyond’ stating success in teaching the English language, during Tate’s reign as a English language official, was restricted by ‘rigid learning activities’ in an attempt to ‘improve’ the English language in the strictest sense (Bernard, p 2- 4). However thanks to Functional grammar, the knowledge provided through the course of the English Language at Sunshine Coast University has been very helpful in differentiating between the interpretation of grammatical aspects, usage of punctuation, and parts of speech, in turn allowing me to improve in assessing my drafts for assessment items, and utilise the correct tense, language, and text structure to formulate coherent sentences and

What is Cockney? There is more than one possible answer to this question. It is conventionally used to refer to any person who was born within a certain radius of a church named ‘St. Mary-le-Bow’ and therefore could hear the Bow Bells ringing. In general, it loosely refers to a traditional accent, which is spoken by people from the Londoner working-class. However, the term ‘Cockney’ is informal. Its most extraordinary characteristic is the usage of rhyming schemes to code their language, but then again, there are also several phonological features which differentiate ‘Cockney’ from other British accents and dialects. Three of those features are going to be described.

The nervous attitude was prominent from Wilfred’s tremor in his words as he tried to keep himself from becoming even the slightest bit distressed lest his collar to activate and shock him too. Few moments passed with only the sound of people walking, shifting, working, surrounding the two as the floor started to become warm. “Oh sugar! No, no, no, no,” One hand pushed Wilfred up, “No!,” Another hand closed the faucet and the sudden crackle of an emotion shock was heard, “Ahh, come on now!” The sound of a slap against the forehead was the only noise after the small streams of swears consisting of ‘sugar’, ‘foil’, and ‘snap’.
