communication behavior of an individual. For instance, developed most of my cultural and communicating traits from my society through daily communication with family friends and acquaintances, and from reading various material and observing the behaviors of other people around me.

Similarly as a winged creature secured away a pen longs to fly, so does a man restricted to a part and controlled in a home. In the short story, "Story of an Hour," by Kate Chopin, the lady is caught in a cold marriage and a constrictive house. Comparable topics are likewise found in "The Revolt of 'Mother '," a story composed by Mary Wilkins Freeman. Despite the fact that both stories share the topics of imprisonment and limitation, physically and inwardly, the ladies in the stories have…

better when playing your rivals. He bounced the ball twice to get him near the top of the arc. The hardwood shook under my feet, even though the ball seemed to bounce softly on the shiny floor. It was actually just the packed gym that covered every other noise. Every little thing felt so exaggerated right now. This is what I like. Crunch time. Mark stared me down. He tried to get my eyes to meet his but he failed. I wasn’t going to lose him on some shifty move. I could hear the roaring crowd…

August 21 - I woke up extra early today so I could go arrange something with the cooks. Nobody ever has any fun round here, so I thought we could do something a little different for Larry’s birthday. By the time breakfast started, most people were already in the cafeteria, Larry was given an extra biscuit with a single, reused candle. Larry was pretty embarrassed. We were all laughing when some of the older men tried to sing Happy Birthday, but forgot half the lyrics. After breakfast we hit the…

You’re given a task, and told to complete it without any instruction beyond…

I can efficiently interact with others. The number one area of communication that I need to work on is speaking up for myself. I tend to let people walk all over me instead of defending myself. I try to avoid conflict anywhere I am but by ignoring the problem, it doesn’t ever change. In order to ensure that I improve this area of communication, I will be more assertive. Whenever I encounter a situation where I feel uncomfortable, I will speak up and let the other person know how I am feeling. I…

in the fields. Perla talks about how negatively people look at her family. In general they are viewed as, “You 're just an immigrant.” As a male Victor’s concern was not how he looked to others, but how he matched up to the men around him.

One thing this film provides is an inside look into their world of being an immigrant Zulema, Perla, and Victor have heart. They break…

The Strengths in the Original Poem of “Intimacy” By removing “Peacock feather,” the delicacy of the feather is diminished. A wheelbarrow is a rough object. The wheelbarrow does not offer the same imagery with the line of “wide eye tamed with dirt” as the “peacock feather does”. A wheelbarrow is neither wild nor tamed, but a peacock is a free animal, and one that is not typically domesticated or tamed. The father also references to the title: “Intimacy” of being a soft and fragile concept. The…
