In literary works, writers normally utilize characterization technique in revealing the personalities of their characters. This technique is categorized into direct and indirect characterization. In direct characterization technique, the writer usually makes statements that are direct about the traits of the characters.

Abstract

Censorship has been a debatable issue for decades with critics viewing it as an infringement on the rights that have been enshrined in many constitutions of many countries; this is the main reason why the notion of censorship in any sector is met with extreme resistance; however, it is a part of history that those holding positions of power often use this idea to suppress what they feel are ideas that might lead to opposition or other fundamental ideas that might threaten their hold over the people; when it comes to literature it is important to consider the effect that this ...

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom. For example, students connect to various contexts for social interaction through the internet. In these contexts, they (students) meet and interact with native English speakers (Strambi & Bouvet, 2003), which allow them (students) to learn the English culture, and therefore, learning the language becomes easier. Therefore, socio-cognitive teaching explains the role of social interaction in the creation of an environment to learn a language, learn about the ...

Malcolm X was born into a family that was touched by racial violence, and as a result, he became one of the leaders at the forefront of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and onwards (X and Haley). Unlike some of the other leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, Malcolm X was unabashedly fierce on certain topics-- notably, Malcolm X frequently advocated the separation of the races, and occasionally even advocated the idea ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract
In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students in this study are ...

Charles Dickens’ Our Mutual Friend is his last completed work and is arguably his most famous one as well. The major theme of the novel revolves around the dangers of misusing money.

For instance, the heir to the Harmon fortune hides his identity so he can accurately discern the character of Bella Wilfer and the Boffins. The implication of his actions is that a rich man can never determine who his real friends are and, consequently, must trust no one. A related theme is predation— ...
