Through the book review, it is shown that a coming of age experience isn\u27t just limited to the transition from childhood to adulthood and that the internal journey and revelations the main protagonist faces during the novel still illustrate a personal inward coming of age journey. The book review focuses on Scrooge’s change of attitude from the beginning of the story to the end due to the influence of the ghosts, It discusses the impact of the ghosts on Scrooge’s changed outlook on the life and his inner discovery.

Examining the use of Definite Article Reduction (DAR) by speakers of a South Yorkshire dialect, and speakers\u27 attitudes towards DAR
Get PDFThis study examines the use of Definite Article Reduction (DAR) by six South Yorkshire speakers, aged 18-24. The study aims to determine speakers’ DAR frequency and variation, and analyse participants’ views towards the feature, focusing on gender, educational level, and identity. The main findings were that speakers used DAR in 11.1% of their total definite article usage, and that females used DAR more than males. Females used more overt prestige forms within a group setting with Standard English (SE) speakers, suggesting convergence towards the group speakers; whereas males used more covert prestige forms, such as DAR, in this context, suggesting divergence away from the SE speakers. Gender and educational level were not evenly distributed across participants, as all female speakers were more educated than all male speakers
