Sue's Phonic Acquisition
Sue’s native language is Spanish. Although she will have the Spanish accent many of the sounds are similar some sounds she will have a problem with is the sound /j/ because in the Spanish vocabulary /j/ is pronounced as /h/ (Language Transfers). There are quite a few more that she will have trouble learning. Another issue she will have is writing sentences in English because English sentence structure is subject-verb-object. In English, the adjective comes before the noun not after like in Spanish (Shmoop Editorial Team. 2008). Sue will also encounter many issues in her phonics transfer because there are a lot of sounds that are not the same.
The Spanish alphabet is based on Latin origin and has an extra letter in it. There are a few letters

    Sophie Auld's Diction

    Through his specific diction, Frederick Douglass is able to exemplify how slavery not only dehumanized slaves, but had an equally horrifying effect on slave owners. When Douglass initially meets Sophie Auld, he describes her as a “pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman” (Douglass 50). Never owning a slave before, Sophie Auld was not accustomed to the typical treatment of slaves, leaving Douglass “utterly astonished at her goodness” (Douglass 46). However, once she is scolded for her kind treatment towards Douglass, most notably for attempting to educate him, by her husband, Douglass describes an extreme change in her character. Douglass uses intense imagery when describing her change, claiming, “that cheerful eye, under the the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweat accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon” (Douglass 46).…

    Alison Lafaive Speech Analysis

    It was very obvious that she was experienced in the art of public speaking and seemed very confident throughout her delivery. Her posture we very professional yet, remained relaxed making it seem very natural. Ms.Lafaive did not move around the stage at all but was often gesturing toward her charts and graphs, sort of letting the audience know what was relevant to what she was currently saying. There where a few times throughout the speech that I could not hear the speaker well, but it was more due to the loudness of the audience than the loudness of the speakers voice. Overall though, her tone, pitch and voice variety was engaging. Ms. Lafaive was dressed very appropriately; wearing neutral, almost plain colors, she looked very professional. Her eye contact was slightly sporadic and she looked at her graphs…

    Richard Rodriguez English As A Second Language Summary

    In his early childhood, Spanish was his exclusive language used by his parents, siblings, and family. He perceived this language as a “private language”, the language that gave him comfort. It was his family language, which was used in safety of his home, apart from a strange world of “los gringos”. “To hear its sounds was to feel myself specially recognized as one of the family, apart from los otros” (329). English, on the other hand, was the language little Ricardo associated with strangers, and it was only used in the outside world. Richard felt intimidated by it, because he knew quite well that his English was poor. “My words could not extend to form complete thoughts. And the words I did speak I didn’t know well enough to make distinct sounds” (328). Rodriguez felt that he didn’t belong in the outside world. He was awkward comparing to native English speakers. He lacked confidence and he struggled to master “public language”. “I remained cloistered by sounds, timid and shy in public, too dependent on the voices at home. And yet I was a very happy child when I was at home” (330). He was also embarrassed by his parents’ heavily accented, ungrammatical…

    The first issue discussed is the presence of Maria’s certain accent. Although Maria was born and raised in the United States, there is this constant mention of a rapid and aggressive accent. Perhaps Maria has an accent that is very specific to a location that is particular. Although her place of employment might make suggestions of speech classes and verbal improvement seminars, they do not have grounds to deny her a position based on her accent. Maria is protected by the previously stated legislation in regards to discrimination with accents.…
