Summary Of the class of Monday 30th of April

Class Summary (Monday 30th of April)


In the class of the April 30th we started studying literature. First of all, we started talking about the literature in general. Before this class, I, including other studets, thought that the literature is useless, or is not very important in the life. But, if you think, if someone ask you: Describe me the taste of a pear. That question is very difficult, but you can answer it using literature. So, we learned that we can enjoy literature.




Also, last Monday we talk about gothic elements, that are present in the majority of the horror histories. We talk about gothic elements because we are going to read Frankenstein, where these elements are present. We saw some photos of gothic elements. In these photos we saw threes without leaves, churches, castles, etc. The colours of these photos were black, white and grey. So, we can deduce that the majority of the horror histories have these elements.

Also I will make a summary of this class because we talk about things that are related to the other class.

In this class, we talked about the literature, again. We said the meaning of literature.
Literature: Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Broadly speaking, "literature" is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific words, but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction and nonfiction. So, in another words, literature is a way to express.
We leraned in that class that literature is not always fat and boring books like me and many students thought), it can be fun.


Finally, we talked about Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. It was written in a society in which women were not important, so Mary Shelley wrotethe book and put the name of a man like the author. And, when the book was famous, she said who was the real author. The book was written in 1816, when Mary Shelley was 18 years old, when was a climate change in her city. He based the idea of the book in a nichtmare that she had.

How does language reflect culture?

How does language reflect culture?
There are many ways in which language can reflect culture.
First of all, language is used to express culture. The thing that I wanna say is that language  transfer culture from generation to generation. Also, using language you can show your culture from others that don´t know anything of it, and that belong to another culture. 


 



The relationship between the society or culture and the people is started when the man or woman is born. The majority of the societies start teaching the culture when you are a baby.So, using language, you show the baby how to respect others, or how to talk to others, because if you are not taught to interact with the others, you can say a bad word, for example, that can make the one that is talking with you put angry. So, if you are toalking with a person that is from another country, but speakes the same language that you, and you say a bad word, he or she can make to himself a bad idea of your culture, only because you said a bad word. 


 





In another point of view, but thinking the same cuestion, sometimes language can tell us how is a culture. For example, if your culture talks very fast, another one can think that your culture or society is a little "stressed".
