    The Effects of Language on Expression of Emotion In both 1984 by George Orwell and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the societies are depriving themselves of language.

Language consistently conveys critical messages which are necessary to move forward.…

    I chose to read "Mother Tongue" written by Amy Tan. In the beginning, I thought to myself I can't relate to this text because Amy is talking about her being a writer and how her everyday life is affected because of that.
