Gangsters' warnings to migrants not to go to the police are ruthlessly enforced. Julio César Cancino Gálvez, with Grupo Beta Sur

, recalls how a group of about thirty migrants at the Tapachula train station asked him why the authorities weren't clamping down on the gangsters. Cancino told them they needed witnesses. He urged the migrants to step forward and report abuses. One nineteen-year-old Honduran in the crowd spoke up. He described his assailant in detail. Hours later, the Red Cross asked Cancino if he could help an injured migrant. It was the same Honduran teenager. His right ribs were broken. His entire chest and face were badly bruised. He spoke slowly, in a whisper, clasping his chest. Two gangsters had overheard his description and kicked him mercilessly. "Next time, we kill you," the gangsters told him. The teenager, afraid for his life, asked to be deported. —Enrique’s Journey, Sonia Nazario The underlined sentences demonstrate characterization. How does this technique support the author’s purpose? It shows that the refugees were strong and unafraid of the gangsters. It shows how violent the situation was and how scared Enrique was. It shows how hopeful the refugees were about reaching the United States. It shows that Enrique was quiet, shy, and preferred not to interact with others.

Answer:

1. The author's argument is that evolutions in language such as "textspeak" do not ruin our language, rather, they are creative ways of incorporating symbols in technology.

2. The author claims that

a. Changes in language do not demonstrate decay, rather they indicate flexibility.

b. Emoticons are not just faces. They convey feelings.

c. The use of emoticons in language makes ideas to be better clarified. They ease the flow of conversations.

d. A symbol can communicate an entire message.

3. Reasons to support the claims

a. History shows that people have always complained about changes in language but time shows that these changes are not harmful but rather innovations.

b. Emoticons convey feelings of happiness, sadness, or anger during text communications. These symbols aid the flow of communication and clarifies ideas that would otherwise not be understood because the communicators cannot see each other physically.

Explanation:

In the article by Lauren Collister, she argues against the popular belief that emoticons are ruining language. She rather believes that these symbols are innovations that should be embraced by all because they ease the flow of communication. Dating back to A.D 63 when some Latin students began writing the French Language, a scholar tagged the language an "artificial language". Today, this is the language of an entire people.

Innovations in language are to be embraced not rejected.

1. Which figure of speech is exemplified by lines 149–151 of the excerpt from The Odyssey, Part III?
polet [3.4K]
I think it is personification, because personification means to make non living things sound real, and the lines 149-151 follow that. “The taut gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow’s note.”
