Holding hands

“Yaqui is a rabid boxer, her fists balled. I tower over her by a few inches, but not that my size helps. She’s done this before. I kick and try to get out of her, but nothing is stopping her from toppling me and pressing my face into the pavement.

I chose this topic because of the diverse aspects of it; the different races, circumstances, and ages that all contribute to the theme. Every hand has a story. When I turned to Google and Bing for images that I could not get myself, I was shocked at the results. When I looked up images of hands, out of the thousands and thousands of pictures it…

He wants to be able to pick up his grandchildren as well as shake the hand of a business associate without having them think his hands are dry and scratchy.

We can use them to do a number of things such as gesture express emotion with words, or touch to emphasize our words, or even using emblems, which convey a message without the use of any words.
