3. Short-response prompt (15 points) Read the following excerpt from the ending of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the
Sun:
MAMA (Quietly, woman to woman) He finally come into his
manhood today, didn't he? Kind of like a rainbow after the rain ..
RUTH (Biting her lip lest her own pride explode in front of MAMA)
Yes, Lena.
(WALTER'S voice calls for them raucously)
WALTER (Off stage) Y'all come on! These people charges by the
hour, you know!
MAMA (Waving RUTH out vaguely) All right, honey – go on down.
I be down directly.
(RUTH hesitates, then exits. MAMA stands, at last alone in the
living room, her plant on the table before her as the lights start to
come down. She looks around at all the walls and ceilings and
suddenly, despite herself, while the children call below, a great
heaving thing rises in her and she puts her fist to her mouth to
stifle it, takes a final desperate look, pulls her coat about her, pats
her hat and goes out. The lights dim down. The door opens and
she comes back in, grabs her plant, and goes out for the last
time) Curtain

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
