If I must I must

In the mary popins clip her Uncle is addicted to laughing which causes him to float to the ceiling. Then the 2 kids and the other guy start laughing and then they float to the ceiling. Mary trys to get them down but in the end she decides it is a lost cause and says If i must i must and then joins them. She decides that to end up getting what she wants in the end she must join them. She thinks it its better not to argue if in the end she wants to get what she wants.

The same is true with language. Sometimes you have to say some things not the way you want to. You do this so in the end you get your point across. In the poem Hubris at Zunzal the writer uses language to get his point across. He says different things like "Nearly sunset, and time on the water of 1984. Language its tracer"to get his point across that the government might be trying to control what everybody says and does.
