   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.

The difference between epic poetry and medieval romances
galben [10]

epics

•place a lot of the focus on character development and how the character grows throughout the poem

•a main storyline is a single character fighting for the survival of a large nation or society of people

•the protagonist always has heroic reason to fight (to protect his people,to gain honor, riches, etc)

•an epic usually ends in tragedy

romance

•the main focus of the poem is not on the character but rather on the Adventure itself

•the protagonist in a romance is more static, usually concerned only of a single group, family, or class (ex:a knight of the round table)

•the reader is concerned with how the protagonist will face certain trial

•fight for the sake of personal reason (love,god,chivalry)

•romances tend to have happy ending and everything tends to fall into place at last moment
