I'm Sorry / Get Beyond Babel
|
|
|
I need to find the definition of the greek, Shakespearean and Modern Tragic Hero and i found one essay that describes them. I'm truly very sorry. Everyday, the English language is being altered. New words are added and taken away in an attempt to keep it ‘fresh’ and ‘new’ and more accessible to accommodate those who speak a foreign tongue. We take our knowledge of this constantly changing dialect for granted, because it’s highly doubtful that no more than a handful of us have ever considered the extinction of our language. Ken Wiwa is one in that handful. His essay, Get Beyond Babel takes an interesting look at different languages and their unlikely survival in the coming years. He uses facts and interesting information to illustrate his point, as well as exaggerations and personal experiences to immerse the reader in his thoughts and his logic behind this intriguing composition. Though his feelings of animosity towards the English language’s power to overtake and convert lesser dialects, switches to a feeling of defeated contempt at its’ exceptional versatility to keep alive, this essay keeps the readers’ attention and also gives something to think about and enlightenment.
