Read the following excerpt from a research paper on American novels and answer the question. The argument continues about which

novel has the honor of being the first American novel. Some award the honor to Gilbert Imlay's The Emigrants, denying the novelistic writing that preceded it (Gray 453). Several novels have lost their claim to that title for one reason or another. In 1751, Charlotte Lennox used American scenes and characters in The Life of Harriot Stuart, but her literary training and home were in England (Shepherd 5). A book called The Female American: or, The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield was thought to have been written by an American and published in London in 1767. In 1775, Adventures of Alonso, probably by Thomas Atwood Digges, was claimed to be by a native of Maryland. The book, however, was not published in America and deals with nothing American. An Indian story, The History of Maria Kittle, was written in 1781, but did not appear as a book until 1793 (Burke 76). Miss McRae by Hilliard d'Auberteuil in 1784 lost its claim because it was written in French by a Frenchman (Sloan 8). What is the purpose of this paragraph? to define American novels to explain why there is a problem defining the first American novel to introduce the topic of d'Auberteuil's novels to explain the classification process of American novels

melamori03 [73]

The language is a major part of our culture . the world has many languages. And you can say they are almost different in different regions. Let me give you an example there are different methods of how a people think. As if when a Spanish is thinking she makes the sound like ... eh... well the same sound if made before the British people then they take it is a bad culturee.. that is opening your mouth before ssomeone.

So its like they are habituated to their own language. Even one culture's usual thing can be other cultures bad side.

The ways for which the languages are changing ...

One of the most important reason is the use of Social media or Chatting.

When you are chatting you are using a different language. And the people are now getting habituated in changing the words spelling pronunciationa nd much more. New words are added to the dictionary.

If the language I spoke disappeared then

Maybe the world would seem like another planet to me.

Every people would think of me as a uncultured person.

But you can also write,

The language is already disappearing. As the people are mixing so many languages together. The 5-7 sentences am posting as attachment. Hope that helps.
