➢ “Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you
will also have a limited vision and a limited future” (Jim Rohn). Five hundred years ago,
between five and seven million people spoke the English language, almost all of them
living in the British Isles. Now, anywhere up to 1.8 billion people around the world speak
English. The growth of English has been driven by the formation of the language
through adoption of new words and understanding. It is also driven by political, social,
and economic factors. In the quest for wealth, knowledge, and land expansion, English
was taken around the world by the sailors, soldiers, pilgrims, traders and missionaries of
the British Empire. It is not a language that can be forgotten, and many would say it is
what keeps our society and world going. If someone where to be forced to live in a
society where the ability to speak the English language and use the rich vocabulary was
gradually forbidden, that person would quickly realize that communicating would
become an increasing impossibility. Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dune explores this idea of
language elimination through societal censorship. By examining the dwindling length of
the letters written, the process of eliminating letters in the alphabet, and the use of
sound-alikes at the end of the novel, it is possible to determine that Ella Minnow Pea
succeeded in conveying that the increasing poverty of Nollopian speech led to the
inevitable loss of communication and the ultimate enslavement of the people.

To begin, the dwindling length of the words used in Ella Minnow Pea begins when a letter falls from the main
statement in the public square. This leads to the government proclamation that this letter is now forbidden
and if used, will lead to a severe punishment. “Today The Tribune published the names of fifty-eight of the
sixty men, women, and children charged this week with first offense. (Two names were unpublishable due to
the presence of a particular letter within.) All were speakers of banned words—words overheard upon the
lanes, in schoolyards and church pews, and on the common greens. Neighbor turning in neighbor, perpetuating
old grudges and grievances with this new weapon unleashed upon us by the High Island Council. The paper
reported thirteen additional names of those charged with second offense” (27). As the story progresses, more
letters are lost, and thus fewer words can be formed. Having a limited vocabulary results in the characters
finding it difficult to write their thoughts and even to speak their thoughts because the letter is also forbidden
in spoken language. The ability to express thoughts and opinions in an open way is a fundamental right of
human beings. When this right is restricted, thought and expression are also hampered. The Council of Nollop
banned letters from the English vocabulary as letters kept falling off Nevin Nollop’s cenotaph. The Council
believed that Mr. Nollop was reaching out to them from beyond his grave signaling that any letter that had
already fallen and would off that sign should be banned from the English vocabulary of the Nollopians. As a
result, the Council acted: they made laws prohibiting the written and oral use of certain letters and strict
punishments were given to whoever broke those rules. At the beginning of the novel, the length of the letters
and speeches were around two to three pages and as the story goes on, and more letters of the alphabet are
becoming illegal, the length of letters get shortened to around 1 page or even half a page. That also goes to
show how it became harder for the author to write lengthy letters throughout the entire story without the
freedom of using any word he would wishes.

Furthermore, the process of eliminating letters in the alphabet limited Nollopians’ vocabulary and eventually
led to unintelligible communication. Mark Dunn, the author had to be strategic with letter elimination in order
to progress the story. For example, he removed superfluous letters like “Z” and “Q” first, which still made it
possible for civilians on the island to write letters and have proper conversations. Ella writes in a letter to her
cousin, “I have, in scanning the text of my epistle to you thus far, discovered only three merest of uses: in the
words ‘gaze,’ ‘immortalized,’ and ‘snooze.’ Would you have lost my meaning should I have chosen to make the
substitutions, ‘looked,’ ‘posteritified,’ and ‘sleep’? What, my dearest Tassie, have we then lost? Very little” (15).
This quote emphasizes how the first letter to have been banned was not one that was used very commonly,
therefore it did not have a major impact on the vocabulary of Nollopians. As the story went on the author
begun to remove letters that were not as common but made a larger impact on the use of them for building
vocabulary. “Many of you have visited the Council office over the last several days, voicing concern over how
best to express in the absence of the letter “D” —which leaves us at midnight tonight —each of the seven days
of the week. This is a valid concern, but not one that should in any way threaten daily discourse” (72). For
instance, the days of the week all end with the letter “d” which has now been forbidden so, the Council had to
develop substitutions for each day of the week: Sunshine will now substitute for Sunday and Monty will
substitute Monday. Towards the end of novel, the letter lost was significant enough to create unintelligible and
unusable vocabulary, rendering the townspeople illiterate. ‘U’ is gone. I suppose you’re aware. The 1st aeiouy
to go. Up until now the other graphemes were not aeiouys. When the aeiouys start to go, Ella, writing to you
turns exponentially more grueling” (142). Once the use of the letter “U” was forbidden, the real challenge of
being able to communicate orally and through writing had begun. This experience provided significant evidence
of the importance of the letters used in the language to form thought, speech, and connections.

22. Sample ConclusionSample Conclusion
After reading Ella Minnow Pea, the reader can conclude that Mark Dunn succeeded in
conveying that the increasing poverty of Nollopian speech led to the inevitable loss of
communication and the ultimate enslavement of the people. He did this convincingly by
gradually shortening the length of the letters written, strategically using the process of
elimination, and the use of sound-alikes towards the end of the novel. Writing a book
and keeping the storyline going with access to limited words and letters can be quite a
challenge and is not something all writers can achieve. Using different strategies, Mark
Dunn became successful in that matter and portrayed a well-written novel also proving
how one does not need all the letters of vocabulary to be able to write, speak, and
connect; however, restricting the use of many letters is one way to censor and control
the masses.
