One Voice by Susan Madera is a story that I can very well relate to. Here we see how Madera struggles with her form of speech, because she speaks a language she calls “neighborhood” which she has acquired growing up. This does not affect the fact that she is an exemplary writer. “The language that I picked up on the streets was a part of me but as I grew up I wanted to get as far away from it as possible”(78); this shows that through various stages of her life, Madera has had experiences that have made her form of speech a burden to her. It is something that she is not proud of, and she considers it as a disadvantage in her life that she has to rid herself from. Her speech literacy was acquired involuntarily from her environment, her neighborhood.…
Good_______ Mr turner and fellow students; I have chosen the text “Things fall apart” by Chinua Achebe to relate to our class text “The life and crimes of Harry Lavender” by Marele Day. By doing so, I will convey through my perception, the various types and functions of a distinctive voice and how language affects interpretation and shapes the meaning of both the distinctive voice and world.…
The way in which we speak now has developed noticeably over the years from the way in which we use to fifty years ago so much so that it has almost entirely become another language. During the course of this essay i will be analysing the spoken language between both the liverpodlian teacher, student interview and the Lancastrian teenagers’ exchange of ideas by commenting on how they both use linguistic devices such as fillers, Standard English, modern slang, power and dominance; how they adapt their language to suit different situations and exploring why they do so.…

“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” As William Shakespeare states in Hamlet, we are constantly learning and redefining the borders and boundaries of our knowledge. This is true not only of our own internal minds but collectively as it pertains to research where we know something works, but we can’t explain how it works. The vine of the soul or Ayahuasca transcends the mundane world of our everyday lives and grants passage to vistas known only to initiates. Ayahuasca, also known in the Portuguese language as Hoasca, has been enlightening the indigenous tribes of Brazil for centuries. In addition, ayahuasca is mainly consumed in tea form. Some of the ingredients include the stems or bark of the Banisteriopsis caapi and other plants. Drinking the tea is a spiritual ritual that seeks enlightenment and is guided by a shaman, otherwise known as a holy man. Furthermore, during this journey there are adverse side effects, and this is just one of the reasons an experienced guide is an integral part of the Ayahuasca ritual. It is said that the tea can bring closure or perspective to the passing of a loved one or other emotional traumas.…

Distinctive voices are part of our everyday life and can be expressed in many ways. This is not always projected through speech and language. It can be intrinsic and is inherent in any text. This is particularly helps when reviewing The Life and Crimes of Harry Lavender by Marele Day and related film Miss Congeniality directed by Donald Petrie. Both these composers have created a variety of distinctive voices in the texts.…
Every type of text, whether it is a film, song, poem or speech portrays a distinctive voice. The distinctive voice is usually a result of how the composer wants to get their point of view across to the audience. John F Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, 9th Earl Spencer’s Eulogy for Princess Diana and George W. Bush’s 9/11 Address to the Nation are all speeches, which makes it easier to hear the distinctive voice within each one, along with the numerous language techniques, stylistic features and their structures.…

In our society there are many ways to speak either correctly or incorrectly.

And one was also trying to say that the characters themselves from Shakespeare’s play, as a result of being around for almost four hundred years, have now detached themselves from their original context, so they’re in a sense roaming free in a kind of cultural terrain, and therefore they can be appropriated and put into a new context, although all the resonances from the original play will still be part of those characters.
