Here is the topic to the essay for my english final:

Throughout the semester we have covered a variety of themes spanning across the romantic, victorian, modern and post modern periods. However our discussion always returns to the function of language. Discuss the intersection of language and the creation of identity in one work from each of the litereary periods we have covered this semester.....

And this was my reply....

Language’s development through the history of British literature has changed dramatically from the Romantic to the Post-Modern era. While its form has basically stayed the same its identity has evolved such that the rhetoric and grammar of today’s spoken and written words have branched entirely from the ideas and thoughts put forth hundreds of years ago.

For example, if we begin in the Romantic Era in a work such as Shelly’s “Ozymandias,” we see an early harkening to transience and the use of language to describe how fleeting power and life is. The kingdom of Ozymandias, once seemingly all-powerful and colossal, now is remembered only on a plague lain broken on the ground in the nonexistent remains of the empire, in the shattered pieces of a statue that once heralded the power of the king.

As we move on to the Victorian Era, language and its use in literature evolves. The next work is Ulysses by Tennyson. In this work we come across a dying King of Ithaca. This poem, though created years after Ozymandias could almost be a prequel to that story. A powerful king with great riches and land is readying himself to die. However, instead of the haughty and proud way in which the fallen king of the desert announced his final decree, Ulysses instead puts forth a hope for the future, a belief in the ability of the world to move along with time. His son will inherit the kingdom after him, and that will lead to further happenings. The transience of life in this work is less devastating than the romantic Ozymandias, but it still exists.

In the modern period we see language take on an even more revolutionary meaning. In the work “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night,” by Thomas, we see a new veil over the way transience is put forth. In this one time is still ravaging human kind, but humanity has had enough, and it is time for us to fight back. We are urged to rage against the dying of the light, in opposition to the way Ozymandias simply succumbed to it, and how Ulysses accepted its coming. This poem gives humanity not a hope of defeating time and transience, such as it has been, but simply gives us the idea to fight it, whereas that idea had been missing from literature before.

In the Post-Modern forum we are given the Harry Potter Stories. Not only language, but the idea of transience as a whole has evolved in these books. In the stories there is an indomitable foe in the guise of Voldermort. His ability to overcome death again and again has made him one of the most feared villains in the universe these books take place in. Transience doesn’t exist for him because he uses magic and the like, a concept that takes on a new meaning in the Post-Modern era due to an expansion of human creativity in the science fiction world, to simply overcome death again and again.

In closing, it is not necessarily the language that has evolved since the Romantic times, but rather our grasp on the concepts within language and our ability to tack on new ideas and thoughts as the frontier of human creativity expands. The identity of language changes with each new era, simply due to the changes that were made in the works during that era. Each subsequent time slot for literature gives its own ideas and meanings to our language creating an ever flourishing and growing encyclopedia of thought and ideas.

obviously my essay has nothing to do with the question... i thought it was good tho... thats only the rough draft, imma fix it up a wee bit before i turn it in of course... but fuck it...
