Isabelle Kerr’s piece of writing is very clear point made by herself with an attempt at explaining the “destructive nature” that slang is having on the English language.However the execution of the argument is poorly made with obvious flaws seen throughout the entire piece.
Possibly the only redeeming feature of Kerr’s writing is the clarity in which she presents her ideas and message. Although it was poorly delivered its clear what points she is trying to make. In the piece she is talking about the uselessness of adding some of the slang words we use into the dictionary. One of her points were “Words like twerking unlike and selfie are nothing more than slang which like any fashion trends come and go. After all when was the last time you heard someone call something groovy”. This point is very clear and useful using a metaphor “fashion trend” as an example and a well as a former slang phrase that isn’t used anymore “Groovy” to back her case however, she doesn’t defend slang to give a deeper insight into the limited benefits of slang v the downsides of it and how certain slang words come and(if they do)remain in the English language.
This is further seen in her paragraph about William Shakespeare which further derails her points.Some of her points against slang do not make sense most prominent is her point about Shakespeare “What hope is there? Shakespeare would be turning in his grave.”Shakespeare one of the most famous play writes of our time established in English only because of his use of slang which is a fault made by Isabelle Kerr’s point as she tries to use him to reinforce her point about the lack of need or use of slang. This lack of information rather tears down her point rather than help it.
Isabelle Kerr isn’t able to fully back her argument against slang when the points that she is bringing out further tears down her own argument with the use of William Shakespeare(a man famous for his use of slang) with her claims that the words provided by this current generation being “nonsensical and downright pointless…pitiful emblems of the current young generation’s”
Slang is an intriguing and diverse form of language with the smart interesting and simplistic use of the language only being the type of slang being wildly accepted. Slang gives people the chance for inventiveness and creativity of people to create new and interesting words done by people through the history of the English language and none more famous than William Shakespeare himself with his work depending solely on the use of slang to captivate his audiences to this day. there ain’t noting more to it
Goodbye, my irreplaceable son and Happiness My problem was wishing too much for you my loving son 7 years you were loaned to me and now I have to pay Done by the Gods on the right day I could no longer be a Dad? for why should a man not be grieved and be jealous? To get to escape lives troubles and problems. If there is something to be glad about its his age. Sleep now and relax because you lie as my best creation. who was it that his promises be as his love was something that would never leave me.
In this poem we see many contrasts and parallel’s to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet Soliloquy “To be or not To be”. In both poems one of the most prominent and obvious things that you can see from it is that they both are an internal emotional struggle for both people with Hamlet deliberating whether he should kill himself or his uncle and the Poet deciding if life is worth living without his son.
In Addition, both the poem and play are written by fathers that have lost their sons with one choosing to immortalize him through the play for years/centuries to come and another expressing his deepest sadness and the heartbreak he feels without him here.
