Provide at least two examples of how concrete and abstract language impact our discourse with others.

/in /by

“Psychologist Rollo May in his book The Cry for Myth suggests that language without myth loses human warmth as well as the meanings and values that give personal significance to life. He says that human understanding comes from our ability to identify the subjective meaning of the language of others. Concrete language limits the possibilities; abstract language expands them.”

Provide at least two examples of how concrete and abstract language impact our discourse with others. Please make sure that your examples are clear and specific and that you provide strong support to explain your position.

In addition, provide two examples of each type of language from your reading – any of the pieces that you wish to choose.

Please be specific and provide as much detail as possible – explain each example thoroughly.

In your view, what roles do these type of language play in the four functions of mythology? Why are they important from a mythological standpoint?

Finally, do you believe the impact of these two types of language will continue to be of great importance in our modern world where technology continues to advance at a mind-numbing pace? Explain.

A Soldier’s Reflections
You are a Continental soldier in George Washington’s army. It is early October 1781, and you are with the army in Virginia outside of Yorktown. A British army is trapped between a French army, Washington’s forces, and a French fleet in the Bay. General Charles (Lord) Cornwallis and his British troops are preparing to defend the town. It appears that the long hard journey of revolution is about to culminate in an American victory.
You want to document the moment and your knowledge of the war for historical purposes before the final battle begins, so you take pen and paper in hand and begin writing your thoughts, reflections, and understanding of the war. You begin where, why, and how you believe this entire war started and touch on many of the main issues (leaders, challenges, turning points, major battles, weapon or tactical innovations, etc.), and end with your hopes for the future of the colonies. Are you hoping to see a new nation emerge, or are you hoping for a reconciliation with Britain?
You are encouraged to be creative with the assignment, but make sure that you use facts. Ensure that you address the following components listed below.
Identify notable innovations and tactics used by the Continental Army and militia.
Identify major figures or groups associated with the colonial military operations in the war.
Explain what challenges the Continental Army and militia faced.
Relate what you believe a soldier from the American Revolution would have experienced.
Your essay must include an introduction. An introduction example could be, “I am writing this diary to give my personal insight of being in the American camp in October 1781 here at Yorktown.”
Your essay must be at least two pages in length, double-spaced, and written in Times New Roman, 12-point font.
APA Style will not be required for this assignment.
Write in first person narrative (I, me, us, we, etc.).
The perspective of this assignment is not only to look for historical context and content but to use creativity and your ability to role-play as someone who was a colonial soldier during the 1780s.
