Language.

Language quite possibly evolves more then just about anything else that humans do on a day-to-day base. Most language evolves from new generations coming up with new words, sayings, or phrases that catch on and become commonly used.

For example, even just a hundred or so years ago the language is vastly different from what is heard today, which is all the proof needed to show that language evolves just as any one species does.

I don’t believe that the language of the individual changes very much, but instead more so the generation gaps differ the most, the way that a group of third graders may talk would be different from the way anyone in high school would speak to each other, which would be completely off from how anyone over the age of sixty spoke. The language evolves slowly, although hints of it may be shown by generation gaps, it is more than visible from century to century.

Profound Moment

Sitting down and trying to think of a profound moment that I would be comfortable sharing with not only my English teacher, but the entire English class, was quite possibly one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Profound moments don’t come along very often, and even when they do they are hard to put to words, and sometimes too personal to share. The moment I came up with sounds like a complete cliché, but my first day of high school was very profound for me. It struck me that day that life was starting to get serious, my home life was on the rocks for a variety of reasons, I’d been lectured about college day one of freshman year, it was a lot to take in. Unlike the narrator in “Red Sky in the Morning” I couldn’t really pick a specific moment in the day that was profound, but instead a few moments where it hit me that from that point on, there was going to be less and less time for me to just be a kid. It may not be the most profound moment, but it was definitely a moment of realizations.
