Backgammon

For this assignment, I chose to observe the smaller side of the residential dining hall (res) at 9 in the morning. The smaller side of the dining hall is lined with booths on the side wall, back wall, and window side. In the center of the room, there are tables (usually 2-4) clustered in line formation.

I observed that this is a place where people both hang out and work. When I was there, a there were three people working on laptops and one more person studying from notes. I suspect if I observed res at a later time, say noon, I would see less, if any, people studying or working on a…

At exactly 9:30am the teacher lightly jingled a bell to notify the children very casually that class time was beginning. All the children began to filter over to the group area each seat contained a photo of a child in the class and the…

relational continuity constructional units (151) used when the employee expressed that she had to go back to work. Both the mother figure and the son figure stood of to hug her, but the younger teenage daughter remained sitting. Instead, the worker standing stroked the head of the girl sitting – a nonverbal action of haptics (76) which spoke volumes. I took special notice of how each table ended their conversations. I noticed that hugging was more common between females, while a more accepted…

knights lived in their own castles. Poorer knights lived in the castles of their noblemen. Knights tended to guests such as villagers and kings. Knights also wore much more than just armor. In fact, few historians truly know what knights wore besides armor, and it has been argued about before. When they didn’t wear their armor, they wore linen undergarments. This helped prevent chaffing from their metal plates. Many people don’t know what knights did in their off-time. Correspondingly,knights…
