BLACK ENGLISH

The distinctive varieties of English used by many native speakers of African or Caribbean origin, and now more usually called African-American (Vernacular) English. Several important English-speaking countries have sizable populations of black people whose ancestry lies largely in Africa or the Caribbean; most prominent here are Britain and the USA. For various historical reasons, the majority of British and American black people, as well as many ethnically white people living in connected areas of the southern and eastern USA, speak varieties of English which are quite distinctive, differing from other varieties in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and modes of discourse.

These varieties of English exhibit characteristics which are often of considerable linguistic interest: for example, many have highly unusual verbal systems which make distinctions unknown in other types of English. It is possible that some of these features may continue characteristics of the creoles once used by the ancestors of the present-day speakers, and a few may even continue features present in the mother tongues of Africans sold into slavery long ago.

But the primary reasons for the recent interest in black varieties are not linguistic, but rather social, political and educational. Like speakers of other distinctive varieties, speakers of Black English often regard their mother tongue as a badge of identity and a matter of pride: abandoning it may be seen as an act of betrayal. At the same time, just as with other groups, failure to acquire a command of standard English is a serious obstacle to making a career in all but a few professions, and Black English itself may be strongly stigmatized among white speakers in formal settings, though it has been extremely influential and prestigious amongst younger speakers of English of all races in Britain and the USA.

Consequently, politicians, academics, teachers and school administrators, both black and white, are faced with some difficult questions of how to regard Black English. Some people advocate the extreme position of recognizing and teaching only standard English and of attempting to stamp out Black English. Most linguists, and some others, would see this stance as unworkable and destructive and would advocate the encouragement of bidialectalism: competence in both Black English and standard English.

Summary of The Alchemist
Author Paulo Coelho

By: Muhammad Mashhood (Class 9th)

This is a story of a young boy from Spain whose name is Santiago.

Santiago dreams of a treasure near the Egyptian pyramids. He decides to find it.

To find the treasure, he leaves his home and travels to Tangier. There, he is robbed of all his savings. After being robbed, he works for a crystal merchant for nearly a year. He learns many things, like how important it is to achieve your life’s goals. At first, he wants to go back to Spain but then he decides to continue to the Egyptian pyramids.

He joins a desert caravan. In the caravan, he meets an Englishman who is searching for the Alchemist. Santiago learns many things on his desert journey.

The caravan stops at an oasis because of a tribal war. One day, Santiago has a vision that the oasis will be attacked. He tells the tribal council. They say if he is right, they will pay him 5 gold coins per raider killed. If he is wrong, he will be killed.

That night, a man on a horse appears. He asks who warned the council. Santiago says it was him. The man is the Alchemist.

The oasis is attacked by 50 armed men. Because they were ready, the tribe wins. Santiago gets his gold coins. Then he leaves with the Alchemist to find his treasure.

On the way, armed men capture them. The Alchemist gives them all of Santiago’s gold as a gift and tells their leader that Santiago can turn into the wind. The leader gives Santiago three days to prove it or they will die.

Santiago speaks to the desert, the wind and the sun. He understands the “language of the world” and creates a huge sandstorm. The tribal leader lets them go.

Finally, Santiago reaches the Egyptian pyramids and starts digging. Robbers appear and beat him. When Santiago tells them about his dream, one robber laughs. He says he once dreamed of treasure buried in Spain, under a sycamore tree near a ruined church.

Santiago understands the omen. He returns to Spain, goes to the church where he first had the dream and digs under the sycamore tree. He finds the treasure.

Moral of the story:

This story is not only about Santiago’s treasure. It is about his journey. On the journey he learns about the world, about life, and most importantly, self-belief. He learns that “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

We should also believe in ourselves like Santiago and try to understand the omens in our lives. Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.

In Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Polonius gives advice to his son Laertes in Act 1, Scene 3 before Laertes leaves for France. Polonius speaks like a caring father and teaches his son how to behave wisely in society. His advice is full of practical lessons about speech, friendship, money, and character.

Think Before Speaking

Polonius first advises Laertes not to speak everything that comes into his mind. He believes that wise people control their words and think carefully before talking. Speaking without thought can create problems and misunderstandings. Through this advice, Polonius teaches his son the importance of self-control and wisdom in conversation.

Do Not Act Hastily

Polonius also tells Laertes not to act quickly on every idea or emotion. A person should think deeply before taking any action. Hasty actions often lead to mistakes and regret. This advice shows that careful thinking is necessary for a successful and respectable life.

Be Friendly, but Careful in Friendship

Polonius encourages Laertes to be polite and friendly with people, but he warns him not to make too many casual friends. Not every person is trustworthy. A wise person chooses friends carefully. This advice teaches that friendship should be based on loyalty and understanding, not only on temporary attraction.

Value True Friends

Polonius says that old and trusted friends are very important in life. A person should keep such friends close to his heart because they remain supportive during difficult times. Real friendship is rare and valuable. Through this advice, Polonius highlights the importance of loyalty and strong relationships.

Avoid Quarrels

Polonius advises Laertes to stay away from unnecessary arguments and fights. Quarrels can damage a person’s reputation and peace of mind. A wise man remains calm and avoids conflict whenever possible. This advice reflects the value of patience and civilized behavior.

Be Brave if a Fight Cannot Be Avoided

Although Polonius tells his son to avoid fights, he also says that if a fight becomes unavoidable, Laertes should act bravely and confidently. A person should defend his honor when necessary. This advice teaches courage and strength in difficult situations.

Listen More Than You Speak

Polonius tells Laertes to listen carefully to other people’s opinions but not to express his own opinion too quickly. Good listeners learn more and make wiser decisions. Talking too much may make a person appear foolish. This advice emphasizes wisdom, patience, and careful judgment.

Dress Neatly and Respectably

Polonius advises his son to wear good clothes that are neat and respectable, but not overly expensive or showy. A person’s appearance creates an impression in society. Clean and proper dressing reflects good taste and character. Through this advice, Polonius teaches moderation and dignity.

Do Not Borrow or Lend Money

Polonius warns Laertes against borrowing or lending money. Borrowing can lead to debt, while lending may destroy friendships if money is not returned. Financial problems often create tension between people. This advice shows the importance of financial responsibility and independence.

Be True to Yourself

Finally, Polonius gives his most famous advice: “To thine own self be true.” He means that a person should remain honest and faithful to his own character and principles. If someone is truthful with himself, he will naturally be truthful with others as well. This advice teaches honesty, integrity, and self-respect.

ذرا پھر سے اُس ننھے سے نکتے کو غور سے دیکھو۔ وہی ایک نقطہ ، یہی ہے ہمارا جہان، یہی ہمارا گھر، اور یہی ہم سب۔ وہاں، اسی ذرے پر، وہ سب لوگ بستے ہیں جنہیں تم چاہتے ہو، جنہیں تم جانتے ہو، اور جن کے بارے میں تم نے صرف سنا ہے۔ ہر خوشی اور ہر آنسو، ہر محبت اور جدائی، ہر خواب اور ہر ناکامی، سب وہیں گزرے۔ ہزاروں مذاہب، ان گنت نظریے، اور مختلف معاشی نظام، سب اسی مٹی کے ٹکڑے پر پنپے اور مٹ گئے۔ وہی مقام ہے جہاں ہر شکاری نے شکار کیا، ہر کسان نے بیج بویا، ہر بادشاہ نے تاج پہنا اور ہر فقیر نے دعائیں مانگیں۔ یہیں کسی ماں نے پہلی لوری دی، کسی باپ نے خواب سنوارے، اور کوئی بچہ نئی امید لے کر پیدا ہوا۔ ہر موجد کی سوچ، ہر مسافر کی جستجو، ہر استاد کی تعلیم، ہر سیاستدان کی چالاکی، ہر مشہور چہرہ اور ہر بھولا بسرا انسان ،، سب کی کہانیاں اسی ذرے پر لکھی گئیں۔ اور یہ سب کچھ ایک سورج کی کرن میں معلق گرد کے معمولی ذرے پر ہو رہا ہے۔ کتنا عجیب ہے، اور کتنا حیران کن ،، کہ کائنات کی وسعت میں ہم سب کی پوری تاریخ صرف ایک دھول کے ذرّے پر قید ہے۔
