a significant impact on the English language of the Pennsylvania area. Study of Pennsylvania Dutch is difficult for researchers because of the scarcity of books printed in it. The language had been preserved largely by word of mouth and lacks a traceable history through written works, making it difficult to trace its development (Follin, 1929, p. 455).

Time's Arrow by Martin Amis Life is no bowl of cherries. Sometimes you can't explain everything. You just can't, and Martin Amis knows this. Time's Arrow is a book on the holocaust. There is nothing new about its material, and it makes no attempt at explaining anything. So why bother reading (or writing) it?

The words of every language are divided into several word classes, or parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs and adjectives etc. The words of a given class exhibit two or more forms in somewhat different grammatical circumstances. These forms are not interchangeable and each can be used only in a given grammatical situation. This variation in form is required by the existence of a grammatical category applying to that class of words. Thus a grammatical category is "a linguistic category which has

He was disliked by the Sarkhanese because his manners annoyed them and he only knew a few words of their language.

So for the next two weeks I was going to be traveling a foreign country with no knowledge of the home language. This idea was a bit nerve racking but then it was exciting at the same time.

lies on the boundary between two German states which we of the younger generation at least have made it our life work to reunite by every means at our disposal. German-Austria must return to the great German mother country, and not because of any economic considerations. No, and again no: even if such a union were unimportant from an economic point of view; yes, even if it were harmful, it must nevertheless take place. One blood demands one Reich. Never will the German nation possess the moral right

Martin Luther King, Jr. in his persuasive speech, I Have a Dream (1963) argues for the equal constitutional rights for all races not just one. He addresses the nation about his cause for equality and that it was time for them to now “cash a check” that would bring equality for black and white men. He supports his claim by first outlining the cause that he is advocating and the right to equality among all men and women of all races, then he speaks out against the hate and violence in the nation that
Oh Muse!

German culture is currently built on two things: Working hard and Partying harder. A perfect example of this part of the culture is Oktoberfest, a 16 – 18-day festival from late September to early October. The festival began in the early nineteenth-century in Munich, Germany and continued on in Germany as well as in many other countries. This is thanks to German immigrants, taking a bit of their own county with them when they left. Because of this Oktoberfest is no long only a German affair, there
