Answer:

"Thus it was, grandchildren, that I began my day as Kii Yazhi and ended it as Ned Begay.”

Significance of this statement:

The story of how he ended up with a different name at the end of the day is the meaning of this statement to me. Because the white teacher didn't understand their language and didn't realize that Biye means "son of" in Navajo, there were so many Begays. So he gave him the name Biye, spelled "Begay" as he had heard it. Other white men followed suit. That's why there are so many Begay Navajo families. He was relieved that he didn't have another John for a first name. The white man was tired of writing the name John by the time he got to him. As a result, he was given the same first name as the teacher's uncle, "Ned," who had died.

What are the barrier in using sensory imageries well in writing?​
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The main barriers when using sensory images in writing lie in subjective issues of the sender and receiver of the message. Thus, when writing a sensory image, a situation is being captured in letters and phrases that, in reality, is visually perceived and is interpreted and valued differently, depending on who and how they see it. Thus, for example, the description of a certain place can have positive or negative connotations depending on who is reading the text.

On the other hand, given the infinite variety of elements that make up reality, and on the contrary, the limited specificity of the language, the description of a natural environment can be interpreted differently depending on who reads it.
