It's one of the worstest things that can happen, inhibiting them from understanding great literary works. <br />JuliusJulius Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427230227865439672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-54288772763380841192011-05-08T19:36:40.545-04:002011-05-08T19:36:40.545-04:00Thanks Julius and Alberta!

This simplification of expression is the reason our students cannot handle the great works of literature from time past.

Greek utilizes four variations of the word 'love', while there are three in French. Yet English has only one, even though other similar words may be likened to it. Whether spoken poetically or plainly, to express true appreciation and love for a mother(or anyone) without saying it possesses deeper meaning when said indirectly. <br />I hope you enjoy your Mother's Day, and those PBJ sammiches.<br />JuliusJulius Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427230227865439672noreply@blogger.com
