Creature Languages, 03/02, Period 3
"I hope you are all prepared for your midterm. The test is on your desks; you have until the end of the class period to complete it. After you have handed it in, you may leave."
Creature Languages Midterm
Part One: Essay
Answer two of the following three questions.
1. We have learned Spider, Dragon, Rat and Cat. Which did you prefer and why?
2. Have you attempted to apply your lessons in this class in your dealings with animals in the world? Briefly discuss what you did and the results. If you have not, explain a situation in which it might be beneficial.
3. How do creature languages reflect the culture of the beings who speak them? Give an example.
Part Two: Translation
Translate these sentences into creature languages to the best of your ability:
a. SPIDER -- "A stitch in time saves nine.”
b. DRAGON -- "Necessity is the mother of all invention."
c. RAT -- "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
d. CAT -- "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
Extra Credit
Write a dialogue (three to five exchanges) in the creature tongue of your choice.
[OOC: This is really a test of creativity, obviously. Handwave it if you have to, but it's 25 percent of your grade, and I need something by the end of Spring break.]

Re: Midterms, Creature, 3/02
Answer two of the following three questions.
1. Out of the four languages we've learned, I've enjoyed Dragon the best because of rhyme scheme and the formality of the speech. It also might have something to do with the fact that this was my first encounter with a dragon and I thought it was very cool.
2. I've been trying to make my plant, Hank, grow by talking to him. Due to my research Hank prefers plain human first, Guns N'Roses second, and dragon third. Hank did not seem to care for spider at all.
3. The languages, like any form of communication benefit and reflect a culture. Cat deals in a simple, to the point matter. Rat is very cheese/food focused. Dragon deals in an ornamental fashion which adds to their mystery.

Large swarms are best caught by quick webs
b. DRAGON -- "Necessity is the mother of all invention."
Make what you need, That is our creed
c. RAT -- "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
Tease me all you want you stupid cat, you're still too fat to fit in this hole
d. CAT -- "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
My human doesn't feed or play with me enough
