Gestures

I have chosen the project option Speech Styles of the comedian Kristen Wiig. The reason I decided to pick her as my topic was because I thought it would be interesting to see how different and how similar she is in the Californian skit when compared to her everyday life. In this paper, idiolect differences, phonological differences, and non-verbal communications between Kristen Wiig’s Californians Skits from Saturday Night Live, will be discussed when compared to her interview from the show…

I began this class with a modicum of trepidation, far outweighed by my excitement to take an advanced public speaking class. I excelled in and enjoyed my public speaking class during my freshman year, so I looked forward to the possible challenges and learning opportunities an advanced class would present. I knew I was an effective public speaker, but I wanted to continue to improve my abilities. After practically finishing this course, I can confidently call myself an advanced public speaker…

humans can communicate various messages, all through the usage of body language and nonverbal cues. To truly perceive this, I have conducted a social observation of a group of people in a college campus, paying close attention to their behaviors, gestures, and even facial expressions. The purpose of this observation is to analyze and dissect the manner in which people socialize with each other, and attempt to distinguish between simply observing as opposed to concluding with opinionated…

This is much different than when Rosa Parks silently and peacefully resisted discrimination. Protests quickly take violent turns and disrupt an entire city for a days. When Rosa Parks sat still in her seat, she made a small gesture but a huge statement. Protests are a huge gesture but make a confusing and often offensive statement. The women marching for women's rights don't represent all women like they think they do, causing hostility and confusion. There is a difference in the way one resists…

Symbolism represents much more than just the literal meaning of an object, action, or character in a piece of writing. Symbolism creates a deeper outlook on the perspective that was once thought to be precise. It provides the readers with more to dwell upon, making the piece of writing extra fascinating. Many different writers use symbolism to clearly recount the main purpose of the writing, much like Elizabeth Bishop does in the poem, “One Art.” In the poem, “One Art,” the author uses symbolism…

moving moments in the film. The Artist is different from other silent films I have seen because it contains more camera movements and edits. The acting style is also different because the actors are really expressive and do not have to use the same gestures all over again. The Artist shows what a classic silent film should look like. The Artist would be different…

communication. The communication comes from nonverbal, failed, and effective listening. I will be talking about how all these communications are in this movie. Non verbal communication is when your communication with someone through facial expressions, gestures, and body language. This movie shows it a lot. One of the times in the movie Chuck shows it is when his friend Stan is talking to someone about his wife being very sick. Chuck didn't know what to say but his faced showed it all. His…

Sport the Social Style In the first conversation, just in the first sentence we can already tell that the woman has an emotive style by her voice tone and her hand gestures. She is talking about doing something spontaneous, and she is expressing it in a highly enthusiastic way. She has a people sociabilty since she is trying to organize this nice trip for everyone, and show her emotions. She has a high dominance, she initiated the demand and she knows what she wants and, even though the other…
