   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>

Which statement is true of both Dove’s poem and Kahlo’s painting? They indicate the importance of natural elements in Kahlo’s li
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

They indicate the importance of natural elements in Kahlo’s life.

Explanation:

<u>The poem "Sonnet in Primary Colors" and the painting </u><em><u>Self-Portrait with Monkey and Parrot</u></em><u> both put a strong emphasis on the natural elements that were very important in Frida Kahlo's life.</u>

<u>Kahlo was a great lover of nature</u>; she always kept a garden in her house and she found animals important. Elements of flora and fauna can often be seen at her paintings, and this one is no exception. We see her in the garden or the field of bright colors accompanies by the monkey and the parrot with whom she stands in peace.

The poem also explains the importance of it, using many natural imageries when talking about Frida. Dove says she is "erect among parrots", compare her clothes to the peasant clothes (someone who works on the field, in nature, with plants and animals) and writes "wildflowers entwining the plaster corset". <u>This refers to the corset Kahlo had to wear due to the back injury, which Dove here says is entwining with wildflowers, accenting Frida's connection with nature. </u>

Rita Dove's poem "Sonnet in Primary Colors" and Frida Kahlo's painting <em>Self-Portrait with Monkey and Parrot </em>are in the attachment below.
