   Language is like a chameleon: it changes its colors according to the place where it is. What can be considered as good use is using language with certain standards in mind. Such standards do not necessarily have to do with grammatical correction; it is actually a matter of social context. Depending on where one is and whom one talks to, language will certainly have to be used differently, that is, in a particular, sometimes even peculiar way, if one's goal is to get himself or herself across.

   A certain level of grammatical correction is necessary, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it has to be there. After all, certain elementary rules must be followed so communication can be achieved. There are language conventions that cannot be taken for granted if one wants to be understood.

   A certain quality of language and usage must be maintained. That does not mean one has to talk like a scholar who is giving a lecture all the time. One should simply bear in mind the various situations of communication, the many different contexts in which individuals from all walks of life interact and talk. The rules of context correctness can be applied by always using common sense. Language effectiveness requires sensibility and empathy. Depending on the context, this or that approach must be used.

Answer:

Language changes according to the place where it is. It depends on where you live, who you talk to, hangout with, etc. It will change due to all of the different cultures in life. Although I think a level of correction for grammer is right, it has to be there. Certain rules must be followed so communication in our everyday lives can be achieved.

Is moon shadow finding it difficult to fit in during the events in chapter 3
drek231 [11]
Yes, as he found it difficult to comprehend the things he was surrounded by. He was curious about his father, and yet, he was frightened by the things his father was excited to show him. Moon Shadow was uncomfortable and frightened by the electric light, the ear phones, the crystal set, the strangely constructed machines, all of which he believed to be some kind of magic.

"I didn't say anything, but father realized I was scared from the way I was shaking.”

How does the characterization and plot in "the day i got lost" reveal the theme of the story
RSB [31]

Answer:

The theme of the story is "trusting family and friends when you need them"

It is easy to identify the theme, since the main character goes through an ordeal when he gets lost;  however, relying on a friend lets him find the way out of the situation.

Building long-life relationships is also shown in the story as a virtue, since the character had a shy personality and it was really hard for him to make friends.
