In the essay “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan, she states that “ Recently, I was made keenly aware of the different Englishes I do use.” This wasn’t something I really thought pertained to me until I thought about it a little more. As I thought about it, it did I would change how I talked depending on who I was around or texting. As I read this essay I was thinking that this was more about someone who English is a second language, but it’s not we all have a different way of talking to certain people.

the top of the mountains Jesus gave the Apostle Moses the commandments.

Even though the Achaeans and Trojans are in a violent battle with one another, both display a similar attitude: the acquisition of glory is more important than life itself. The Achaeans are more concerned with personal glory and achievement

that my Father in Heaven already had for me. So I began praying, and asking Heavenly Father what he wanted me to do. Then I had the opportunity to go to a YSA fireside where Elder M. Russell Ballard spoke, and it was then that I received the answer to my prayers, I needed to go on a mission.
