Typical news programs use very different language than WTNV. The language is extremely concise and professional as so to convey the important events quickly and clearly; the difference is because the shortened professional diction is inconvenient for storytelling, and loses the moods and emotions that the podcast relies on. The following is an excerpt from a transcript from 1010 WINS, a New York based radio news station:
The small plane that carried New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle to his death flew one of the city 's most popular routes for sightseeing pilots, a largely unmonitored corridor that some lawmakers have tried to close for years because of safety and security concerns. Many of those officials expressed shock Thursday that small aircraft are still allowed to fly so close to the skyline in a post-Sept. 11 era. (Maloney)
What is given is a summary of the event, and while it is very informative, it is also very dull. No emotional content is given, and the audience has a significant distance from the person speaking; the narrator could be anyone at all, and the report would change very little, or not change at all. Although the transcripts do not show this as obviously, the voice of the speaker is very monotonous, without accompanying music. In contrast, an except from WTNV episode 38 “Orange Grove” is much different.

– said his winter orange crop is outstanding this year. He said there are oranges everywhere! Delicious clementines, juicy Valencias, rich navels, and bold blood oranges. John said there are so many oranges, “a real bumper crop,” he said. “A real orange-tacular,” he did not say. “A real orange-a-thon,” he never would have said. “A real orange-ocalypse,” he may have thought, but kept to himself. John, speaking to a pack of local reporters, and backed by a group of farmers wearing black double-breasted suits and red silk ties, said this is the dawning of a new citrus economy in Night

This was a detailed look at the soldiers themselves rather than a look at the entire regiment. 7. When I read the passage from The Artillery at Hazel Grove, I got the impression it was being written as a general report of actions. The writer did describe the movements of the regiment in detail, but the writer did not describe the individuals involved in the actions.
There are many language examples within the novel, Kingdom Keepers: Disney after Dark by Ridley Pearson. Kingdom Keepers: Disney after Dark is a novel that depicts the story of five children who become Disney Host Interactives and have to save the Disney Amusement Park from the Overtakers, a group of evil characters. In addition to their standard lives at school, the five teenagers need to constantly be aware of the situations at Disney. One example of a language example is its title, which is used to introduce the book. This language example correlates to the theme of, “Good and evil coexist.”
Lots of panning shots with dramatic classical music thrown about. It would be easy to make the documentary more factual and frank. But that really isn't what a normal watcher wants. They don't want to learn the specifics, they want to be entertained, to grow a curiosity and then to quench it, to be invested. People are more attracted to opinions, "hot takes" "unpopular opinions".

“But the strain I am under, the uncertainty, the hunger, the danger, these hours with the dead man have made me desperate…” Truth is the information and ideas that matter. Although war cannot be generalized, truth is a generalization of the feelings, lessons, and effects of an event. If someone was not present for an event, and they’re not going to ever witness it through a video, then the details of a story don’t matter. Only the lasting feelings and thoughts matter. In O’Brien’s piece, he talks about a man named Mitchell Sanders telling a story of 6 soldiers in the mountain.
In the third paragraph he talks about how the schoolchildren were watching the take off and he was truly sorry they had to witness that tragic event. He said many don't understand why things happen, but no one truly does. He says in regards to the children, "I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes painful things happen." Also in paragraph ten Ronald Reagan talked about how there was some other coincidental things on this very day. Explorer, Sir Francis Drake, died over a decade ago sailing on his ship.
I didn’t see her. In the process of my annotations from my selected pages in Ms. Marvel, I was immediately struck by just how little I saw Kamala Khan. She became invisible to me. Considering the pages I chose and the fact that both take place relatively early in the development of the first volume of the series (one page pulled from the first issue and another from the third), this is to be expected. Not only must we be introduced to our main character, but we also must gain a clear understanding of their life, the people that surround them, to be able to envision more clearly where they are coming from and how that might impact the decisions that they make.
He talks about all the soldiers who would shake the hands of the dead people and talk to them after they have died. He did not like that idea so instead he would tell stories about them so he could keep their memories alive instead of mourning the loss of their
The soldier describes the horrible conditions of the trail and how many people died along it. He also describes the people that got sick and how 22 people actually died in one night. The soldier also describes the sad morning when they were dragged out of their homes and forced to walk the horrible, sad, scary
Chapter nine of David and Goliath talks about strength, how the difficult situations that we face in life, provide us with courage, tenacity, but above all, leave the feeling of being invincible, there is no fear. Gladwell tells the story of the town of Le Chambon, this town offered asylum to Jews who were persecuted by the Nazis during the Second World War. The Huguenots challenge the impositions of the Nazis, help the Jews and emerge victorious. Gladwell argument is that the Nazis, under no circumstances could defeat the resources that the Huguenots had.
Visual literacy is used in everyday life. By reading and analyzing images in books, magazines, T.V and short films, we are able to make sense and understand how these pictures relate to the writing associated with them.

By creating a distinct series of images using composition, social value and the reaction provoked.
Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are". (O'Brien 38) O’Brien uses his stories to reach his audience. There are generations of people who have no clue what war is really like, whether it is because of our misconceptions based on what media portrays or the fact that there are people who have not served in the military. Some people might know about Vietnam and know the outcome of the war, but they don’t have the experience and real life understanding of how that story ended. They might not be able to fully understand the feelings of a soldier.
The House on Mango Street Message Not many of us can say that we have lived up to the expectations given to us and internally benefited from it. In the book The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, Esperanza struggles with growing up with many expectations placed on her. She lives in a Latino neighborhood in Chicago with many neighbors who teach her important lessons. Overall, the story has a message that you should not rely on expectations and the author shows it by using the characterization of Esperanza and through figurative language.
Bespoke Languages Language or spirituality cannot express one’s identity if they are used in the way which has been learned by only imitating others and thus cannot be used as a tool of self-actualization. People want to express their identities in many ways. It is easy to see how different styles to dress express different identities. Language can also be used to express one’s identity as effectively as clothing but it is difficult to use any language that well, therefore language is many times used only as a tool of communication and not as a tool of expressing identities. English language works as lingua franca – generally used language for communication - between people of different native languages and backgrounds.
