What function do names play in society? (for an essay so please be specific)

English
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Names. Ah yes, the human configuration. Human names, animal names, company names, vehicle names, building names, it's all one of the sort. That's how you identify your target. That's how you tell one person from another verbally.

The function it plays is identification and separation. Names are one of the most important things these days. You have it on your license, your receipt, your credit card, your homework paper, your email, almost everything you need a name for. If you were in a movie theatre line, or a restaurant line, and you had a reserved ticket or seat, they would either identify you by your ticket number/table number or your name.  

This is the same situation with companies, vehicles and animals. How do you tell a lion and tiger apart without seeing both right next to each other? You verbally tell them apart by their names. If one is called a "tiger", and one is called a "lion", then they must not be the same, not sharing the same name. But, that's the species name. You can give them an actual name that identifies them from "dog" or "cat". You can give them human names, like Rocky, John, or even more animal-styled names, like Buddy, Lucky, Tucker, Spencer, and so on.

Now, how do you tell companies apart? "I'm gonna go shop at the building with the W, A, L, M, A, R, T letters on the front instead of the buildings with the D, O, L, L, A, R, S, T, O, R, E letters!" No. You say, "I'm gonna go to Walmart instead of the Dollar Store," right? That's the only right way to say it. To distinct one thing by itself, you need a name for it. Instead of saying, "I'm gonna play the shooting game instead of the other shooting game," you'll say, "I'm gonna play COD instead of Battlefield," right? The first way just sounds weird.

Which of the following is a key reason to include allusions in a literary work?
Colt1911 [192]

Option C. to broaden the context and deepen the meaning of a literary work.

Allusions are used as stylistic devices to contextualize a story by referencing a famous person, place, event, or other literary work

Allusions are used as stylistic devices to contextualize a story by referencing a famous person, place, event, or other literary work. These references need not be stated explicitly. In most cases, authors choose to let readers fill in the blanks.

Allusions can give deeper meaning to a story by referring to another work that most people are familiar with. The use of allusions (references to another work) by characters in a story gives us greater insight into what that person is like.

<span>Hamlet, Act III Scene I - here are some ideas and two videos to start the comparison. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO-wxlavDQI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7EH0FxJVCs

It could be seen that these videos are recorded in different  times and by different actors. As regards the 1st one, both are well- known today and it seems that it was done many years ago. the 2nd might show a modern version in a theater not in a setting and with a poorer production. 

As in the 1st one the actors are dressed according to the time and props are used to represent Shakespearean years  the 2nd presents no props, no scenario just actors without even wearing customs. 
</span>
The second version might show actors standing and sitting while the 1st one that are always standing.

The 1st video seems to have lost colour maybe because of the pass of time and the 2nd presents bright colours. As regards the camera shots in the 1st video, it could be seen some close-ups and distance shootings while in the second the camera is pretty near the actors.
