INTRODUCTION Portfolios serve the purpose of an extensive record of a student’s best work and skills. As the student progresses through life, record keeping and reflection becomes an expectation. A résumé cannot possibly describe the entire list of qualities each individual possesses.

"Confessions of a Female Chauvinist Sow." One way in which Roiphe orchestrates her scheme in the essay is through the use of specific pronouns, such as "us," "we," "they," and "you" to establish a rapport-like connection with female readers. The effect of this subtle device is that Roiphe is able to directly communicate with other women, enabling her to transmit her personal thoughts and feelings with readers as if they were actually having a conversation. The twist, of course, is that Roiphe is also able
a) The underlined group of words is a noun phrase I know it is a noun phrase because a cat is a thing and fits the description of a noun. The grammatical function of the underlined group of words is subject. I applied a tag question to determine this was the subject. In absence of an operator I used the base do.

Furthermore, Mark Anthony requests them to listen, which is a friendly way to begin the oration. The use of collective pronouns such as 'our', 'you' and 'we' create an emphasis on the audience which include the audience in Mark Anthony's views. To conclude this essay, I would have to agree that Mark Anthony's funeral oration is the more successful at utilising language
Again, Heaney repeats the use of a discourse marker, to highlight how vividly he remembers the terrible time “Next morning, I went up into the room”. In contrast to the rest of the poem, Heaney finally writes more personally, beginning with the personal pronoun “I”. He describes his memory with an atmosphere that is soft and peaceful “Snowdrops and Candles soothed the bedside” as opposed to the harsh and angry adjectives previously used such as “stanched” and “crying”. With this, Heaney is becoming
metaphor, changing pronoun tense, and creating imagery; Margaret Walker not only defines her husband’s attributes but demonstrates their intimate relationship in Love Song for Alex. Margaret Walker is able to immediately draw the reader into the context of her poem, beginning it with a descriptive metaphor of her husband, while using singular, possessive pronouns which exemplify her love.

regrets for bringing them with her reiterating her distrust in them. We also begin to see the narrators distrust in those who are closest to her, her family. When she begins to reminisce on the past she refers to her family with the third person pronoun “they” for example when she says “they used to go over it as fast a possible” then later realizes this mistake she is making and states “that won’t work, I can’t call them ‘they’ as if they were somebody else’s family”. However the tables are
What are the possible functions that have been proposed for the Ife heads? The Ife head exudes naturalism, it is characterized for its large stature, as well as being the most elaborate finished part of a typical figural sculpture. Portrait like realism displays the importance of the head for the Yoruba culture of southwest Nigeria. “One of the fundamentals of this worldview is that the visible head (ori ode) is no more than an enclosure for the inner, spiritual head, called ore inu, which localized
In order to do this I will consider how the debate surrounding inclusive language fits into the wider debate between egalitarians and complementarians; and explore the implication of its use or non-use for theology, accuracy of translation and mission. As noted above the debate surrounding gender-neutral language centres on two distinct issues, these being the use of feminine forms for deity and the replacing of masculine forms such as the `generic he, his, him and man' or `father, son and brother'
subjunctive in several ways: with the pluperfect alongside ‘cum’ as a temporal clause and again with the pluperfect after ‘ut’ to express a wishful purpose ‘ut…redditi essent’. He makes good use of pronouns, such as reflexive pronoun ‘se’, the interrogative pronoun ‘quis’ and the demonstrative pronoun ‘is’. He uses the words 'utilitatis' 'utilia' 'utile' to emphasise that Regulus was making this self-sacrifice for the greater good of his country. The author employs rhetorical questioning to further
Summarizing everything we have learned, prepositional phrases directly embedded in a noun phrase function as adjectives describe the noun phrase. These prepositional phrases acting as adjectives derive from relative clauses from which the subject relative pronoun and the verb “be” have been deleted. Prepositional phrases acting as adverbs are directly embedded in the verb phrase and reveals information about the sentence.
levels of speech is mainly defined by address forms while in Japanese or Vietnamese, pronouns, verbs, and nouns all have different levels. Truly, in English, there is no division in the use of second pronoun “you”. “You” is referred to use to everyone from youth to older people, from friends to superiors. In the opposite, East and Southeast Asian language, “you” is divided into numerous and more complex second pronouns depending the level of politeness and hierarchy upon the relationship. For instance
Gender-typed play is a very apparent aspect of preschool aged children’s play experiences (Goble, Martin, Hanish, & Fabes, 2012). Research indicates that female children prefer to play with feminine items, and male children prefer to play with masculine items (Goble et al., 2012). It is also evident that children prefer to play with peers of the same-sex (Fabes, Martin, & Hanish, 2003). This could potentially contribute to why research tends to show the same patterns in gender-typed play. However
stubborn and unenthusiastic when she comes in as well as deep in thought. He is 'sullen' as when she 'called' him 'no voice replied'. The other poem shows character even in the title 'My Last Duchess' with its possessive pronoun 'my'. From the repeated use of possessive pronouns 'my' and 'mine' the reader soon realizes how controlling the Duke is 'That's my last duchess painted on the wall'. Even though both the women in the poems loved and cared for both men, they still wound up dead. In 'Porphyria's

Throughout the story, he demonstrates his knowledge on pronouns because he introduced the character as a boy and referred back to the boy as “he” throughout the whole story. By him referring back to the character as “he”, he is also showing cohesion ties because he is maintaining the reference “he” to the same
Compare my last duchess and Porhyria's lover considering in particular how the 2 central characters are presented. Both poems, "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria's Lover" have similarities and differences. This can be seen in the two central characters, content and language. In "My Last Duchess" the duke, a rich upper class man, is talking to a messenger of a count whose daughter he wishes to marry. This poem begins in front of his last Duchess painting which is on the wall in the Duke's home
The elicitation task used in this study successfully instigated the production of relative clauses in the two groups of children and adults. There was no significant difference between the two groups of children in the use of RCs, although there was between the adults and children. Therefore, the children may have been too old to show the effect of developmental acquisition in the age range 5 to 8. As previous researchers have found (Utzeri, 2007; Tomasello, 2000; Diessel
