Which of the choices below does NOT reflect why Momaday believes that language is powerful. Question 1 options:
- Cursing and profanity can have a profound effect on someone.
(This choice does not have a connection with the power of language)
The choices below reflect the power of language:
- Man's idea of himself exists in the oral traditions of his ancestors
Momaday's mother was a Cherokee descent and his father was a Kiowa. So he has innate that cultural and historical traditions passed by word from generation to generation.
- Speaking words aloud have power over the natural world (meaning that oral language is very powerful). Momaday believes that speaking words aloud have a dramatic impact on the audience and that the use of parallelism and repetition increases the power of words so he applies this technique.
- Personal memories are filled with lyrical and metaphorical images. Momaday uses this poetic form (lyrical and metaphorical images) in his writings so as to human awareness and understanding can have a direct connection with his subject matter described.
