Correct punctuation is the focus of the book Eats, Shoots, Leaves by Lynne Truss, a self-labeled "zero tolerance approach to punctuation" (Truss). Grammarian, Lynne Truss, attempts to interest the everyday reader in punctuation by using comical situations and correcting popular signs and slogans. Her "inner stickler", however, makes the book come across as pretentious and aggravating to the non-sticklers of the world. Truss uses inappropriate examples such as sticklers getting "very worked up after 9/11 not because of Osama bin-Laden but because people on the radio kept saying 'enormity' when they meant 'magnitude'," since sticklers "really hate that" (Truss 5). The breakdown of the most popular forms of punctuation are useful, but made barely readable due to the author's sense of humor and pretentiousness regarding the subject.

Changes in the dialect of different communities through which the language passes, as it spreads globally, causes these changes to the English language. The two authors, Denis Brown and George Orwell have indicated that the English language is undergoing changes. Both paint a picture of English being spoken in various countries as they talk about "foreigners." Both the authors, talk about changes in The English language though Denis is not bothered by the changes in The English language. George is so critical of these changes.

Expectations usually come when a new person tells you a description about themselves. For example, when someone introduces themselves as a lawyer, upright, deceitful, and being able to argue with others are associated with the one word. Yet, Chaucer in the Canterbury Tales defies these expectations when introducing a person and then describing the opposite of what the reader expected. Under deeper analysis, Chaucer is seen to emphasize certain characteristics through figurative language. Within lines 413-446, Chaucer emphasizes the doctor’s contrasting qualities through the imagery, alliteration and rhyming couplets.

She is constantly explaining a fault in something and after she explains it you feel irritated. She makes you question why things like discrimination against language is a thing that happens because it's so stupid. When she talks about tests in English you also feel a little irritated that some questions are basically open-ended, but there is only a certain type of right answer. When she talks about the struggle of learning English as a second language you start to feel sympathy towards people who do because we know how challenging learning English is when learning it as a first language, but knowing how hard it would be to learn as a second language is something that we can't do and she shines a light on

The Suarez-Orozco’s support their argument using authority figures to gain credibility as well as exemplification through immigrant stories. These strategies work on the rhetorical appeals ethos and pathos. Exemplification appeals to pathos by making the audience feel sympathy for the immigrants for what they give up, and authority figures appeal to ethos by giving credibility to an expert, by supporting the argument through strong facts. In this essay, I plan to explore how these rhetorical strategies act on their respective appeals, how this is used to strengthen the Suarez-Orozco’s argument to persuade their audience, as well as explore other sources that may support this claim. One of the key strategies used by the Suarez-Orozcos, was the use of exemplification.

Because this phrase is noted in Bailey and Powell’s book “The Practical Writer”, it is better to revise it and say it in this way: According to Bailey and Powell (2008) “plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words or ideas as if they were your own.

Oralism isn’t an effective method to teach the deaf, because the students have to learn to speak and read lips which is impossible to do if one cannot hear in the first place. Laurent Clerc was already conflicted with a more effective way to teach the deaf than Abbé Sicards method of using natural signs to teach signed French when he crossed paths with Gallaudet. Clerc thought teaching just using natural signs would work better. Bébian, Abbé Sicard’s hearing nephew, was a strong advocate for teaching the deaf to sign naturally instead of mimicking spoken French. Until reading this book I didn’t know there was more than one school of thought on teaching sign language.
