This week you’ll familiarize yourself with Talty’s writing by reading an essay provided by me. Read the essay below (by Talty) and think about the power of language. What does Talty long for in the essay (“Messages”) and how does he come to expect that which he longs for? Think broadly about how language is used in this changing world and discuss a recent specific instance in which language has either connected or divided individuals or groups of people.
