    "It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say‚ ‘Go away‚ I ’m looking for the truth‚ ’ and so it goes away. Puzzling." The irony of Robert Pirsig touches on the strange encounter of self-deception. I know the truth and you do not; I intentionally hide the truth from you—this is the lie.

Language is both powerful and useful but it is also what sets people apart from each other. After reading “Aria” and “Black English” and watching the Pidgin film‚ I have come to understand that language is also your identity. I conclude that your identity‚ both private and public‚ will affect your use of language. Language

    Power of Language "Mother Tongue"‚ written by Amy Tan‚ illustrates the idea that words are more than just words.
