Willy hopes that Biff will make something of himself, yet Biff drifts from job to job without any ambition in life. He used to work as a shipping clerk but he stole basketballs from his boss. He once spent three months in jail because he stole a suit. He failed Math so he did not graduate from high school. Now Biff works in cattle ranches and farms. At his age of 34 he should already have a wife and family and a steady job yet he just wanders from one place to another looking for jobs.
Idek what that is tbh I think it would be a name or something I need to c a picture
Answer
English (and most other Western-European languages) adopted many words from Latin and Greek throughout history, because especially Latin was the Lingua Franca all through Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and later.
However, English has many more words borrowed from Latin than have other Germanic languages, which it owes to the conquest of England by the Normans in the year 1066. The Normans spoke Norman French, which was still much closer to Latin than modern French, especially in spelling. From then on, French was used as the language of administration for a while, and much of this was incorporated into English even as the influence of Norman culture in England waned.
Note that, very, very long ago, in prehistoric times, the Germanic and Italic branches (the ancestor of Latin) diverged from the (supposed) proto-language called Proto-Indo-European. That's why e.g. English, Greek, Russian, Persian, Urdu, and Latin have certain things in common, although most similarities are now only apparent to the trained eye. The similarities you see between English and Latin are mostly caused by what happened after 1066.
