At first I kept to my plan of distancing myself while still being nice by only messaging him with stickers, which are just glorified emoticons. Hoping he would get bored and stop talking to me but, the plan backfired and he kept up with and returned the stickers all the while still trying to get me to talk.

When we engage in a conversation, words enable us to reach out to other people, but they are not the only resource available.

Personified Formula Is she insane? Is lady Macbeth riddled with insanity? Many would argue, yes. Lady Macbeth is driven to dementia by the fear of damnation.

The divorce rate has risen tremendously compared to 50 years ago. Now, people text instead of talking face to face; some families don’t even have dinner together(and if they do, they don’t even talk to each other half the time); and friends use emoticons to express how they feel. In Ray Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451, families and even friends hardly ever have meaningful conversations or…
