English went through what steps to become the language we know as modern English?

English

AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

There are basically two steps  that go in a cycle. Old words from the English language are taken, and they are changed in how they sound and what they mean, making a slang, sometimes slowly sometimes  quickly the  slang terms become excepted as words by society and eventually they become the words being changed. If you think about it the language changes based on what  we find to be the way the popular people talk. In the past it was the rich or the actors/esses in plays that started a change in culture, now it are the musicians and actors/esses. That is what I think about it, there are probably more ways of explaining it, if I even answered that the way you wanted.

Which statement about why dreams fail is illustrated by the metaphor of bark in the poem ​
natali 33 [55]

Answer: The statement "He labored hard and failed at last, his sails too weak to bear the blast, the raging tempests tore away, and sent his beating bark astray." is illustrated by the metaphor of bark.

Explanation: The poem "He had his dream" is about a very optimistic man, who waits patiently for dark times to end. He uses the metaphor of a "bark" to reference his dreams, stating that good times will eventually come. However, in the statement; "He labored hard and failed at last, his sails too weak to bear the blast, the raging tempests tore away , a and sent his beating bark astray", he makes the reader create a picture of how can dreams also fail, since the windstorm (the bad times), took his luck and dreams from him.

To what extent do the characters in ""The Pedestrian"" enjoy freedom? Contrast the pedestrian’s freedom to those inside their ho
REY [17]

Answer:

The Pedestrians are free to come and go and choose the way and time they want to walk.  On the other hand, the people inside their houses are considered to be in a graveyard, are compared to the dead, with no life, activity or freedom. Specific textual evidence:

What Leonard Mead loves most in the world is taking solitary evening walks through the city.  At intersections, he peers in all directions, choosing which way to go...on these nights, he´ll walk for hours, passing darkened houses, whish is like "walking through a graveyard"...all he sees inside are flickers of light, "gray phantoms" or murmurs from open windows of "tomb like" buildings.

Explanation:

The only character that really enjoys freedom is Leonard Mead; he is free to come and go at any time or to any place he wishes.  The others are confined in their homes with no freedom at all, like the dead in their tombs, with no life, no movement, no freedom.
