Jargons can be used in literary and non-
literary writing
In fiction, writers employ jargon in dialogues. In

non-literary essays such as newspaper articles, writers
use jargons depending on the field they are writing
about.
Example from William Shakespeare’s
“The Merchant of Venice”:

PORTIA.
Why doth the Jew pause? Take thy forfeiture
SHYLOCK.
Give me my principal, and let me go.
BASSANIO.
I have it ready for thee. Here it is.
PORTIA.
He hath refused it in the open court,
He shall have merely justice and his bond

ANALYSIS!
Forget That Facelift - "Wrap" Your Face into Shape
A non-surgical technique for lifting double chins, reducing
puffiness around the eyes, and improving the appearance of wrinkles is
now available in the form of an easy-to-use home kit called The Face
Wrap. (www.facewrap.com).
Previously available as a salon-only treatment, The Face Wrap lifts

and tightens drooping areas on the forehead, face, and under the chin
by firmly wrapping them up in a mineral-soaked, non-allergenic "face
wrap" constructed of non-latex elasticized cotton fabric.
"The liquid minerals are the secret to the Face Wrap," says Sarah Bolger,
The Face Wrap's spokesperson. "The minerals, which are all-natural, draw out
impurities from the complexion while giving the skin a firmed and tighter look
on the outside and a rejuvenated feel to the underlying tissues.“
Bolger says the all-natural, one-hour facial beautification procedure is safe

and painless.
"Our Face Wrap kits have wrapped many thousands of faces, and we've
learned how to produce wonderful changes," says Bolger. "For those looking
for an alternative to cosmetic surgery, wrapping your face is an easier way to
reduce double chins and puffiness, lift and tighten the skin and enhance your
own natural beauty."
Bolger also recommends exfoliating before using to allow the minerals
to absorb better, and exercising the face daily with a few simple exercises.
Working women want to look their best - especially after 50. But let's
face it, most working women find it difficult to carve out an hour or two a
week for visits to the day spa. That's the appeal of the home kit. The one-
hour treatment can be done at home while reading or on the computer or
while resting.
Women generally look five- to ten years younger after a series of three
to six treatments. Most people are surprised to see their cheekbones and jaw
bones again!
Visit www.facewrap.com for more information. The kit
costs $139 and contains enough minerals for at least 20
treatments, or about $7 per treatment. A lot less than $80-plus
for various salon treatments.
