The History of The English Language

      There are many words that are used today that have originated from Saxons. How did that came about? It came about because the "Germanic invaders dominated the original Celtic- speaking inhabitants, whose languages survive largely in Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and Ireland." And from that the dialects from the invaders which was Germanic and the Celtic- speaking countries mixed together and created what is know as Old English or Anglo-Saxon. "Old English shared its Germanic heritage in vocabulary, sentence structure and grammar with its sister languages in continental Europe."


         How did Old English changed into the modern English we know and speak? As the time passed Old English became the origin of Modern-day English. In between of Old English and Modern English is Middle English. Middle English is a bit more modern than Old English but not as Modern as the English we speak today." Most sermons in this collection are copies of earlier ones in Old English. But this one is different. It is an English translation of a Latin sermon in which we can see many of the changes that signal the end of Old English. The rhythm and pattern of the sentences are beginning to sound distinctly modern. That is why linguists have called it the first text in Middle English." Even today we still use words that came from Old English for example above, about, and, back, bake are all words with Saxon origins.

Hero- Understanding Beowolf

The traits of a hero can be selfless, intelligent and strong-willed because most of the time hero's are presented as selfless since they put others first other than themselves, They are described as intelligent which helps them get out of difficult situations. They trend to be strong-will like for example they don't give into temptations or be tricked.

      
     I believe a person's moral is the most important part because they have a sense of what is right and what is wrong. They know how to handle situations based on their morals or how they we brought up by their parents. Morals is a big part of person because it is a code you live by per se. It can affect how the person perceive the world around them. Morals can help people in their journey by getting through the challenges even if its by the person's honesty or generosity.

Shop local; shop global 9/1/2016


Which one you think is better to shop local or shop global? Kelsey Timmerman writes this in his book called "Where Am I Eating?" Timmerman gives tips on how to become Glocal such as traveling, being a local citizen, being a global citizen, and just be you. "What happens in our community happens to the rest of the world. And what happens to the rest of the world happens to us. The global is local" (Timmerman 277).  Everything that happens in your community is happening everywhere else. There are many benefits with shopping local and shopping global but it also comes with disadvantages. Shopping local can help to bring money to your county or state which really helps the local economy. Shopping local means that the product tends to be more healthier which really benefits the consumers buying the products. Shopping global can help the economy as a whole which benefits the as a whole and other people around the world.  Shopping global gives money to a lot of people because so many people work in companies that are across the world. Also shopping global you can taste many different products from around the world. The disadvantage of being local is that people who work in that business don't get a lot of money unless if it's popular in their county or state. The other disadvantage is that the products may cost more because it is not processed in factories like if you were shopping global. The disadvantage of shopping global is that there is more processed with chemicals and other substitutes. Another disadvantage is that products tend to be less healthier than organic products. I personally believe shopping local is better because you give out to your community and it is more healthier than the products that are sold globally. I also believe that it is a nice way to explore your community and get really involved. So which one in your opinion is better shopping local or shopping global?
