Intonation

It seems as if women are more ready to let other speakers into the conversation or to allow another speaker to dominate the discussion. Women use more Standard English. At an early age, girls tend to have one or two girlfriends with whom they play most of the time. They are more likely to talk about feelings and the effect of events upon themselves. Women use language to make and maintain social cohesiveness and their activities are generally co-operative and non-competitive. A study of children…

the 4th of July. During these year I have been there helping sometimes at Mass, in the office, and teaching to parish groups. In an occasion I had to teach the group of lectors. I taught them the liturgical year and some technics to read, such as intonation, pauses, and breathing. I also taught them practical issues at the time of going up to the ambo to read. We agreed that before going downstairs, they were going to bow down their heads and then continue to the ambo to read. We also agreed…

The authorship of literal works demands the creation of specific themes. These themes assist the reader in identifying with the story and creating connections along the way.

letter in certain words or we shorthand words and phrases. Baltimore’s lexicon plays a role when calling our family or friends by their relations to us. Baltimoreans have a very distinct way that we act when we are speaking to someone. Baltimoreans intonation is well known for showing our emotions, talking fast, and making a lot of movements.

Antonakis, Fenley and Liechti (2012) argued that charisma is an obtainable set of skill through constant practice and training rather than fully agreeing to the idea of it being naturally blessed on certain individuals.

Harry Partch has undoubtedly always followed his own muse when it came to music. Whether it be thinking outside of the box in creating a new music scale or inventing new instruments. Partch is best known for his philosophy of music. He views music as having two “givens”, but his most famous theory is that music is separated into two independant and distinct poles: there is abstract and there is corporeal. According to Partch, music whether it is “good” or “bad” has two God-given aspects. The…

Heidi’s actions here surprised me because she usually acts gently and understandingly towards her mama rather than aggressively. One example of her acting gently towards her mama is on page 47. “ Sometimes I’d sit down next to her on the couch, open a magazine, and flip through the pictures, pointing to things-a baby, a dog, a car. ‘Show me soof, Mama. Is this soof? Is this?’ ... ‘Tea, Heidi? She’d say. ‘Tea?’ With anybody else I might’ve thought offering to get me tea…

Step by step, and chapter by chapter, I started to understand the difference between hearing and listening on this very private family level.
