What does "meaningful language" mean? My son has to find passages in a book that show this!?

Could also refer to language that has a special meaning in the passage or story.  For example in Robert Frost's poem Mending Wall, he says, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall" - simple words, but very meaningful in that poem.  Similarly, the title of Frost's poem Out, Out is very simple, but highly meaningful when you know the words come from Lady MacBeth's speech with the words "Out, d****d spot ...."\n\nI would suggest looking for words that are particularly meaningful in the story.

in what context do you need these analogies?\nlike poetic or exact descriptions?

The point of the poem is not really what it means... because what it means is basically what you read. There is no underlying deep, philosophical meaning to it. It is a simply, living poem. When you read it, its supposed to "conjure" up the images, the sounds, the tastes, etc. It's the imagery thats strong and important. The meaning of the poem is really basic, so I won't tell you specifically tell you what it is. But my answer is a hint.

It may mean a trip to the local library or book store... the link below has some good references.

It sounds like a curriculum, such as that of the International Baccalaureate Organization (www.ibo.org), that is accepted by universities or education departments in countries around the world. \n\nAlternatively, it can mean a curriculum that includes literature, history, etc., from a variety of cultures.

You need to dump all of that vocabulary = TOWER OF BABBLE!  Use words which have recognized meanings.  Yee-o-o-o-ough!

In English there is a big difference between decoding the words, and understanding what is said.\n\nEnglish is very idiomatic; you may know what each word by itself means, but some phrases mean something completely different. Try these sites:\n\nhttp://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/\n\nhttp://www.english-zone.com/idioms/dictionary.html\n\n\nThis may sound strange, but you can also build your comprehension using children's picture books. Use the pictures to help define the meaning of the sentences.\n\nThese are NOT baby books, but those used by teachers in public school to teach print comprehension to native English speakers.\n\nhttp://www.carr.org/read/picturebooks.htm\n\nhttp://www.uni.edu/lettow/PBGOOD.html\n\nhttp://www.stockton.lib.ca.us/features/booklists/pictbook.html\n\n\nYou also can find your current comprehension reading level, and then use the Accelerated Reader system to read books at a gradually increasing level. \n\nThis site, click on a number at the top of the screen, by "Search by Reading Level"\n\nI would suggest looking at the list for level 4 first, buying a book or two at that level at an online bookstore, and seeing if they are too easy, too hard, or just right. Not by subject, but by how well you understand.\n\nhttp://libraries.risd.org/bowlib/ar/acc_freader.htm\n\nThe "Point value" is something used by schools to reward their students for reading. You don't need to worry about it.\n\nAt level 4, may I recommend:\nThe Cricket in Times Square       George Selden\nA Day No Pigs Would Die            Robert Newton Peck\nLittle House on the Prairie            Laura Ingalls Wilder\n\nThese are considered serious classics, and are a part of every well-educated American's reading background.

It means that the brain has shrunk (atrophy) for some reason and that the natural spaces (Cerebral Spinal Fluid spaces) are bigger than they should be.  You really need to talk to the doctor as to what this means for your child....;

I would warn anyone who says that it should be literal.\n\nWe don't sell our daughters into slavery (or at least we shouldn't - those on the Jerry Springer Show might)\n\nAlso, Jesus says "If your right eye offends you, and causes you to sin, pluck it out, for it is better to enter the Kingdom of Heaven blind than not at all".  Do you really think that he meant that literally?   If so, then Christians would be a bunch of blind people (he says a similar thing about your arms and tongue).\n\nThere are parts that are literal, and parts that are figurative.  Best judgement will generally tell you which is which.

The name of the book itself is a pretty big hint.  "Ordinary People" means that what happens in the book could happen to any family.  People may be different in many ways, but we all have one thing in common; we are all susceptible to feelings of guilt; we have all dealt with "coming of age" (another prominent theme); and any family could be hit with the devastation of losing a loved one.

The keyword is meaningfully.  If it is just babble and unintelligible, then this may be a problem that a pediatrician needs to see.\nAt this age, children are learning to talk and they say words - maybe 2 or 3 words together in a partial sentence.\nIf the speech is not clear or some syllables are not heard, that is not a problem at this point. It will clear up in the next year.

Praise him for seeing that it doesn't make sense.  He is very insightful.  Explain to him the fact that our English language doesn't always follow it's own rules and certain letters have the same or similar sounds and we just have to learn the inconsistancies and that it is totally normal to be confused right now.

Point well made.\nThey mean for you to be a mature child.

i have a son who is dyslexic and it made me realize that everything that we do on a daily basis involves language. unfortunately he feels that he is stupid because he has difficulty reading and writing but he is a mechanical genius.  what god takes away in one area he makes up for in another .  people who are rude about this have no compassion and if u ask me they are ignorant in their own way.

nothing!...it's non-sense...something like "Oh look at him! He's an attractive frog-man" (!?!?!?)...but that's after doing a bit of interpreting since the grammar is all scr*wed up!

THIS IS THE REAL VERSION: (SOLUTION BELOW)\n\n"Think of words ending in 'gry'. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is." \n\nVERSION 2\nThere are three words that end with "gry". Angry is one and hungry is another. What is the third word. Everyone uses it every day and Everyone knows what it means. If you have been listening, I have already told you what the word is.\n\nVERSION 3\nThere are at least three words in the English language that end in g or y. One of them is "hungry", and another one is "angry". There is a third word, a short one, which you probably say every day. If you are listening carefully to everything I say, you just heard me say it three times. What is it?\n\nVERSION 4\nThere are three words in the English language that end in "gry".  ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for.  EveryONE uses them everyday, if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.  What is it?\n\nThe Solution:\nNow it should be noted that if you were to check the dictionary you will find a few other words ending in "GRY." Even gry is a word. But most of the versions of the puzzle state a common word or it states that the word is in the puzzle or related to it. The most common version (and correct version) is the one at the top of the page. And here is the breakdown of the puzzle and solution. My comments are in black and the puzzle in red writing.\n\n"Think of words ending in 'gry'. Angry and hungry are two of them." The first two lines are a trick and mean nothing to the puzzle. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The third word in "the english language" is LANGUAGE. The word is something that everyone uses every day. You use LANGUAGE every day if you talk. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is." The word LANGUAGE appears in the puzzle. \n\nConclusion to this puzzle, is that it has nothing to do with the letters "GRY" except to throw the puzzler off track.
