Owl English
Can you translate poor English to English?
These expressions are very literally translated from Dutch to English. Can you guess their meanings and think of an equivalent expression? Or just wing it?
—
1) I’ve got a wee apple for the thirst!
2) C’mon, bite through the sour apple..
3) That will not fit through the trolley!
4) This is fighting against the beer quay mate!
5) Someone’s walking across my grave..
6) You shouldn’t ask me the shirt of my body.
7) Joost may know that.
Now my clog breaks!
9) I’m off to snap a little Owl.
btw this is not homework or anything, just get your creative juices flowing and make fun of the Dutch!
.. Apple, good try! I’ll give points to the most correct.. Or the most politically incorrect 
)
But…It FEELS like homework!

Against this intense backdrop, a group of women have formed a beguinage, a self-sustaining community of women.

And seeking shelter among them now is the youngest daughter of Ulewics lord, a man who holds power over them all. But when a series of natural calamities strikes, the beguinages enemies make their move, stirring the superstitious villagers with dark rumors of unspeakable depravities and unleashing upon the defiant all-female community the full force of their vengeance in the terrifying form of the Owl Killers. Men cloaked in masks and secrecy, ruling with violence and intimidationthe Owl Killers draw battle lines. In this village ravaged by flood and disease, the women of the beguinage must draw upon their deepest strength if they are to overcome the raging storm of long-held secrets and shattering lies. |

A Prescription for Adversity $19.47 A Prescription for Adversity makes the revolutionary case that Ambrose Bierce, far from being a bitter misanthrope, was instead both a compassionate and moral author. Berkove, focusing on Bierce’s short fiction, establishes the necessity of recognizing the pattern of his intellectual and literary development over the course of his career. The author shows that Bierce, probably the American author with the most extensive experience of the Civil War, turned to classical Stoicism and English and French Enlightenment literature in his postwar search for meaning. Bierce’s fiction arose from his ultimately unsatisfying encounters with the philosophies those sources offered, but the moral commitment as well as the literary techniques of their authors, particularly Jonathan Swift, inspired him. Dating Bierce’s fiction, and introducing uncollected journalism, correspondence, and important new literary history and biographical information, Berkove brings new insights to a number of stories, including A Son of the Gods and A Horseman in the Sky, but especially An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, and presents compelling readings of the Parenticide Club tales and Moxon’s Master. A Prescription for Adversity substantiates how Bierce at his best is one of the few American authors who rise to the level of Mark Twain, and the only one who touches Jonathan Swift. A work of both biography and literary criticism, this book rescues Ambrose Bierce and his literature from the neglect to which it has been assigned by illfounded, obtuse, and unproductive approaches based on skewed notions of his personality and forced or facile readings of individual stories. |
