survival trait that has evolved and been revolutionized‚ but what really is language? It is a chain of signification that involves the exchanging of one symbol for another‚ and in the end produces an arbitrary meaning that is up for interpretation.

Silence coated the room filled of anxious yet unusually quiet cheerleaders like a heavy snow on the mountain peaks from where we came from. Every familiar face I could find grew cold and stern.
