Quick Write

Language is related to identity because it is one of the most prominent ways that a human being and even other animals express themselves. Thinking broadly, dogs have their barks, cats have their meows, crickets have their tweets, and humans have the multiple languages and dialects that each civilization has created and developed throughout time. I think that language is a very broad term and when thinking about it encompasses the whole world and maybe even more. Language is one of the main forms of communication and expression and depending on what language you speak it shapes which community you are a part of and who you are within that community. In order to truly go into how it connects with identity, you would have to look at specific examples of different languages and dialects and how it shapes people and their communities.

Email: Thank you for the response. I feel that the feedback is accurate. I have now realized that I completely forgot the works cited page as well as a 4th source and this was a mishap on my side. I plan to add the 4th source and a works cited page before I post it on my portfolio. I think that the book club this semester is very good. I enjoy my book. The only complaints I would have is that it seemed a little bit rushed for some reason but it might just be because we are doing it during the latter half of the semester rather than the first half. Questions I have for essay 3 is how long it would be, whether or not it should be longer or shorter than our previous essays and it seems like we have much less time to work on it. But I am ok with that. I am interested to know what the prompt for the essay is and how we will write it.

How does your author's personal life relate to larger social issues?  Is that an essential part of a powerful narrative?  Why or why not? My authors personal life relates to larger social issues because his life was surrounded by poverty and the issue of identity. The ideas that Trevor Noah puts forth are all very relevant to our social issues today. Many people have a problem finding their own identity and understanding who they are and it is exemplified in the book when Trevor describes his childhood and his life and how his race has affected who he is. I believe that the ideas that stem from his personal life and connect to larger social issues are all very essential to the narrative and move the story forward with good development and pacing.
