   Slang, when used as a noun, refers to nonstandard terms or nonstandard usage of standard terms. Slang provides different symbols from which communication messages can be constructed. Slang is more than a noun though. Slang is a process. This means slang is also a verb. We slang as well as speak slang. The process of slanging involves the creation and use of slang. In everyday life, slang reflects the experiences, beliefs, and values of its speakers. Every new generation and subculture has a different vocabulary of slang words. As we slowly come out of adolescence we fade away from the use of slang. Items that we frequently encounter or are important to us are often given slang symbols. There are many terms to say something is good or bad and to evaluate people positively or negatively. Today, slang is also descriptive and contains many symbols for food or eating, money, effective or ineffective performance, relationships, intoxication, and places.
<span>             Why do young adults speak slang? There is one simple reason. It's cool! Slang is cool in the sense of being in style. When we speak, we are communicating not only a message of what we are saying but also a message about who we believe we are, our identity. It is a type of performance and shows that the speaker is in tune with the times. A second reason for why slang is so cool is it lets us have a sense of being acceptable. People don't slang all of the time. Rather, the use of slang is reserved for circumstances that accept the use of slang. Usually, slang is used in informal environments and avoided in formal settings. This is because it could result in the person being judged negatively. </span>

Imagine how the great writers must feel it knowing they have That Power convert this memoir into profile
dolphi86 [110]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Excerpt from Moonwalk , By Michael Jackson

I have always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories – make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I have always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s a quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together, and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.

Rewrite the memoir of Michael Jackson into a profile.

Answer:

He has always wanted to be able to tell stories that came from his soul.

He would like to sit by the fire and tell people stories that make them see pictures, that make them cry and laugh, that take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. He’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. He has always wanted to be able to do that. He wants people to imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. He sometimes feels he could do it. It’s something he’d like to develop. He claims that, in a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. He explains that there are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. Only a voice and the powerful ability to take people anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.

Explanation:

A memoir is a text from someone who´s talking about himself, so the first person is used. A profile is a text that provides information about others, so the third person is used.

What does pound consider preferable to abstractions?
DENIUS [597]
I don't know if there are any options, but my first guess would be - image. In his early imagist phase, Pound wanted to get rid of abstractions that were nearly the sole focus of the 19th-century romantic poetry. Instead, he aimed for pure visual images as signifiers of the world around us. He preferred simplicity as opposed to complex philosophical concepts. For example, instead of writing about nature as a source of spiritual nourishment (such as the romantic would have done), he wrote a 2-line, free-verse poem about people who are standing in the station of a metro, waiting for their train to arrive, and resembling "petals on a long, wet bough". The whole poem is an image, absolutely devoid of abstractions.
