In the book, "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn language was an enormous part of the culture in Nollopton. It is what the island was founded upon, it is how they diversified themselves. By the High Council taking letters away from the alphabet, they began destroying and corrupting the culture in Nollopton. Without language, the people began to go mad. Their decision making began to change entirely. Their daily routines were halted as they had to check themselves to ensure that they were not using any banned letters or they would face consequences as far as being banished from the island entirely. And with all this going on their, language as they knew it, continued to be stolen from them.

Their thinking and outlook on life started to change. This was mainly seen in Georgane Towgate. It began with her ratting out Mittie, Ella's aunt for using a banned letter. She wasn't aware of how disrespectful and outright rude this was until her own son was banned off the island. This is when her insanity began. She at first became very apologetic towards Mittie because she realized the awfulness of what she did. Later on, she even starts painting herself with led colored ink because of her insanity. "It isn't wise 4 a person to paint her whole selph." (176) People can’t think clearly when all that is going on around them is corruption, and there is practically nothing that can be done about it.
Enterprise 32 was the last shots for the last remaining inhabitants on the island to recuperate the culture that has been so corrupted thus far. They knew that without the language and culture on the island that the island would just fall and becoming nothing, but a piece of land. This should that people were willing to put their time and effort into saving what they believed in. They would sacrifice their own lives to better someone else's. That is what true culture is. The willingness to put your own life on the line to help someone
