    London Milestones

    London wasn’t always a hotspot for fashion, food, and entertainment. Instead, London’s history was webbed with cycles of destruction and rebirth. Most of the obstacles faced in London’s history occurred in years 0 to 500 CE. During these times, London wasn’t the best place to live in, especially because there was yet to be any “Fish and Chips” and “Sherlock”. Still, these first 500 years of London held some of its most important milestones.…

    Things Fall Apart: Individuality vs. Nationality

    Of the many themes that appear in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, individuality versus nationality becomes a central topic as the story progresses and develops. With the invasion and colonization of the European missionaries, Okonkwo’s nationality and contributions to society are called into question. Achebe explains the idea of nationality over individuality by showing that society is the precursor to individuality. Examining the life of the protagonist, Okonkwo, before and after his resistance exemplifies this key idea in Things Fall Apart.…

    Judging People: Does Language Divide Us?

    Unfortuantly language brings people together and it also divides them. Language unfies us because if we speak the same language as the person we are communiting with then it makes it easier for us to talk to them therefore it brings us together. Language can divide us because if a person has an accent or doesn’t know how to speak the same language as the other person they are communicating with then it often seperates them. That’s the problem right now, some people are not willing to give a person the chance to communicate because they don’t know the language. And that is why language is dividing people. Entering the country with a brighter future, she unknowingly entered an atmosphere where Accent, Race, and upbringing causes separation between people. Even though she would be considered an outsider in this new country to have a bright future for herself she will have to overcome the division of accent, race and upbringing. Division is caused when people are introduced to a variety of perspectives. Accent, Race, and upbringing can cause division among communities.…

    Language and Identity

    Language and Identity

    Language and identity can be two sides of the same coin in my opinion. A language identifies a certain group or place just like a flag represents a country, but this is not always true. If we were to look at the English language for example, it is a universal language that most people in the world practice either as their first language or as their second or third. The people who do speak English as their first language have a certain identity related to the language; while the people who speak English as their second or third language practice the language only for their professional and personal lives. For the second case, the English language does not identify those people but whatever language your mother’s tongue is, you can definitely say I represent that place or country by speaking that language. My first language was Amharic, but when I started going to school; I started learning my ABCs. I broadened my English language by watching tons of movies and reading children story books; I grew attached to this language. Later on in life I seem to have had an easier time with the English language than my first language. I was actually struggling with my Amharic literature class in high school while I was doing really well in my English literature class; I was among the best in the school. Simply from that perspective I identified with western culture from what I read and saw on TV as much as my Ethiopian heritage. It certainly does not mean I’m not full Ethiopian, but it does mean that I consider the English language as part of my identity.…

    Language and Culture

    To what extent can the language and literature of a nation or a race reflect the history and culture of this nation or race? To what extent can the soul of a nation and the universal values in the innermost recesses of the minds of humanity be revealed in the language and literature of a given country? To those questions, only the person who is long engaged in the study of this field can find distinctive answers and develop unique perceptions. I believe that the perception of the historical and cultural impulses and national legacy through literature is an important sensibility for a student of literature. I am very proud that as a Yemeni student I have developed such a sensibility through my past academic studies of English literature. What is more, I would like to further develop and expand such a sensibility to acquire a scholarly and professional dimension in the very nation whose literary heritage has not only influenced the country itself but also extended to almost every part of the world.…
