Category: Foreign Languages Homework Help

I need an explanation for this Foreign Languages question to help me study.

Your dialogue must begin with an explanation in English of why your characters are using the Sie- or du-form in your dialogue.

The dialogue must be 20 lines long in German and include the following:

1. A greeting from each character in German.

2. Your dialogue must include three questions. Remember to start each question with a question word such as wie (how), was (what), warum (why), wie viel (how much), wo (where, as in a location), wohin (where to, as in, to where are you going) and woher (where from, as in, from where are you coming). Just as in English, the question words are always immediately followed by a verb, so be sure to use the correct word order.

3. Your dialogue must also include a waiter (der Kellner) or a waitress (die Kellnerin). Der Kellner oder die Kellnerin must ask you what you would like to order. Remember that the waiter or waitress is at work and does not consider you or your dining partner to be a close friend, so be sure to use the Sie-form when speaking to the waiter/waitress or being addressed by the waiter/waitress.

4. At the end of your meal, one of your characters must ask for the check. Remember that in Germany, the wait staff will not bring the check to your table until you ask for it. One character in your dialogue must ask for the check by saying: „Die Rechnung, bitte“.

5. At the end of your dialogue, remember to have the characters say goodbye to each other.

Tu Vecindario

Using the Spanish you have learned from Rosetta Stone and this lesson, write about three places in your home town or city (Brooklyn , NY) that you frequent other than work:

1. Verrazano bridge,

2. Coney Island. 

3. The third place is in New Jersey – Grounds for sculptures. 

Where do you go and why? What is your favorite place to go? What are some landmarks in your neighborhood? Are there any special activities or festivities during the year? 

To begin this week’s discussion, answer these five questions in complete Spanish sentences:

• ¿Qué familia tienes? (¿esposo/a, hijos, hermanos, padres)
• ¿Cuántos años tienes?
• ¿Cuántos años tienen los miembros de su familia?
• ¿Cómo se llaman los miembros de su familia?
• ¿Qué les gusta hacer?

Here is my example for guidance:

• ¿Qué familia tienes? (¿esposo/a, hijos, hermanos, padres) Tengo esposo y dos hijas.
• ¿Cuántos años tienes? Tengo cuarenta y dos años.
• ¿Cuántos años tienen los miembros de tu familia? Mis hijas tienen ocho y dos años.
• ¿Cómo se llaman los miembros de tu familia? Mis hijas se llaman Josie y Journey.
• ¿Qué les gusta hacer? A mis hijas les gusta jugar y comer.

I’m working on a french project and need support to help me learn.

Le mémoire du projet – analyse du thème dans le texte du livrede Dany Laferrière, Comment faire l’amour avec un nègre sans se fatiguer

Original POST due by Thursday, August 26, before 11:59 pm

REPLIES and EDITS/REVISIONS due by Monday, August 30 before 11:59 pm

This time, you must post before seeing your peers’ posts.

Part I: Review MLA

• MLA In-Text Citation: The Basics
• MLA Works Cited page
• Works Cited Template
• Sample Essay in MLA Format & Style .pdf
• Course page for MLA

Part II: Post (30 points) Please number each requirement.

1. How does Tim O’Brien define a true war story and what assumptions does he make in doing so? Identify and discuss at leastone assumption and provide a quote using MLA in-text citation to support your discussion. Be sure to take his contradictions into account and not to oversimplify his text. (approximately 75-200 words)
2. Worldview is one’s philosophy of life, and it is comprised of the values, assumptions, and beliefs one holds. Drawing inferences based on your reading of O’Brien’s text, what is his worldview and how does it compare to your own? (approximately 75-200 words)
3. For this question, I would like you to consider how a work of fiction, non-traditional fiction at that, can make an argument (later we will look at the poem as an argument). Is O’Brien making an argument and/or truth-seeking? Is he attempting to persuade his readers of something? If so, where on the continuum does his text fall? (use Figure 1.5 in our textbook, page 11) Again, he is writing a story and not a traditional essay, but we must not restrict our understanding of persuasion to nonfiction. (approximately 75-200 words)

Be sure to fully develop your posts, illustrating close reading of O’Brien’s powerful story and our textbook.

In addition, careful proofreading is a must–no “i” for “I.”

Part III: Reply (20 points)

Comprehensively respond to posts 1-3 for TWO of your peers (10 points each). Begin by introducing yourself, and remember, replies that start with “I like” rarely stimulate good conversation. If you agree or disagree with your peer, be sure to explain why. If you think your peer’s post is off-topic, help them to get back on track. As always, try to choose someone who has not yet received a reply, and please let CREED (Compassion, Respect, Empathy, Empowerment, and Dignity) guide your engagement with your peers. O’Brien’s text is powerful and there’s much to consider. I look forward to reading your posts and replies!

Tip: Number each response (1-3 for two peers) and write a full paragraph for each one, between 75-200 words.

To earn points in this category, you may view a recent (made since 2000) feature-length film in Spanish, subtitled in English. Films must be viewed without commercial interruption, i.e. in a theater, on DVD, video, on demand, or a pay cable channel such as HBO or Showtime. The film must be viewed during the term in which you apply for points and this must be documented with a receipt or time and date of television showing.

NOTE: Movies originally released in English are not acceptable.  An HBO translation does not equate to a movie created in Spanish.
