     For my word search on babble, I found some very interesting information about the word and also ran into some difficulty. I think the biggest dilemma I encountered was the fact that my word was not listed in the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature. I visited three different locations for this specific book to locate my word in. I went to the Bay View library, the East Providence Weaver library, and the Providence Public library. However, my word was not listed in any of the books. I think that the most interesting part of all of this was the fact that there was not a single one of my synonyms listed either. Strange!
     The first reference I used was The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. The word babble means to utter a meaningless confusion of words or sounds. To talk foolishly or idly; chatter. “In 1977 he was thought of as crazy because he was babbling about supply side.” (Newt Gingrich). To make a continuous low, murmuring sound, as flowing water. To utter rapidly and indistinctly, to blurt out impulsively; disclose without careful consideration. Babble (n) inarticulate or meaningless talk or sounds, idle talk; prattle.
     The second reference I used was The Roget’s II New Thesaurus. I found that there were many synonyms for the word babble. Babble used as a verb could also be said as blather, chatter, gabble, gibber, jabber, prate, and prattle. Babble used as a noun can also be said as blather, blather-strike, double-talk, gabble, gibberish, jabber, jabberwocky, nonsense, prate, prattle, and twaddle. Out of all those words, I found that prate interested me the most cause I had never seen this word before. So I took the time to look it up in the Oxford American Dictionary, to find out that it meant, to chatter, or talk too much. Now I understand its relationship to the word babble.
     Next I used Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible to look up any verse in the bible that contain the word babble. The verse that I came up with was from “The Book of Proverbs”. It is:
~ “Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the faithless among men.”
~ “Who scream? Who shriek? Who hath babbling? Who have wounds? Who have strife? Who have anxiety? Who have black eyes?”
~ “Those who linger long over wine, those who engage in trials of blended wine.”
     I also used The Harvard to Shakespeare to find more information about babble. In The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act 1, Scene 2, line 95, the word babble was used with the characters Lucett...
