As well, saying someone’s name in a conversation can dramatically make them more interested in what you are saying. It makes the conversation more personable. The final three principles of this part include what happens in a conversation. A conversation will be exponentially better if you are an active listener and are encouraging the other person to talk. People like to talk about themselves and want to feel important.

Themes make up a story, and help add emotion and meaning to it. Because of themes, there are layers in a story that will make you more intrigued and make it seem that there is a purpose to the story. The Giver themes were influential to the story and served a large purpose in the outlook on it as well. One of the major themes that are found in The Giver is pain and pleasure, so you can’t have pain without knowing what pleasure is, and vice versa. A part

He explains that sometimes to gain virtue in an audience 's eyes you may have to break some rules. The irony of this of course is that most people would tend to believe that breaking rules would make a person seem less virtuous. To argue using this strategy one must first figure out where the values of the crowd lie and often bend your own mindset to win the debate. In chapter seven he also emphasizes “showing off your experience” (73) and “appearing to take the middle course” (73) This means appear to take a less extreme point of view than your opponent in order to seem less aggressive and more likeable. I like this chapter because it teaches readers to expose their opponent 's weak spot and use it in an argument against them As a student I concede that I did not enjoy reading this book.

The reason on why one should not want language to “always wear a tie and lace-up shoes” is because you want the reader to feel comfortable and forget that they are even reading. In addition, by breaking grammar rules, the author can enrich the experience of the story by enhancing the narration, improving the imagery, and bettering the dialogue. The time you do not want to write language in a “tie and lace-up shoes” style is when you are trying to tell a story and trying to engage the audience about a

Both Antony and Brutus paced their speeches differently which changed the timing of the speech and made it harder to interject with Brutus and easier to interject with Antony. The opportunity to interrupt the speaker during the speech gives the listeners the ability to change the direction of the speech and that definitely happened during Antony’s speech. He used restraint to get the crowd to pay attention and it worked. He changed his tone and changed the mood of the speech which kept the crowd interested and gave them something to follow. The crowd begged to hear Caesar 's will, when Antony announced that he had it.

There is a nice bit of repeated dialogue later given new meaning, but that too is quickly overused. The opening and closing narration are particularly obvious on this occasion, telling the viewer exactly what the themes are and what they have seen, respectively. Overall, the State is written as, for lack of a better term, blatantly evil, so the message that ‘we should be careful lest this happen to us’ is muddied. There is little room left for viewer opinions or to mull over what they’ve seen. It reads more like a series of scare tactics than a recreation of what could happen.

By repeating a gesture over and over again the audience can get distracted and stop focusing on your message. Also, repetition of a certain gesture can come off as aggressive or forceful, counteracting your objective. Try to look at the lesson about gestures and body language again (page 4). Jean often uses this gesture. This is mostly used when trying to reinforce a point or when telling an event in sequential order.

I only read through my speech one, and that is in my head, not out loud. I know it is bad to say that, but it works for me. I tend to overthink things way too much, so, when I start overthinking, my nerves start kicking in and my speech turns into a mess. Another way how I improved on speaking publicly is simply telling the story instead of annunciating it. When

Another aspect of this type of “hearing” is actually hearing the other person’s words but insisting that you know what he/she really means/didn’t mean. • Proving your point: This is similar to mind reading, it involves selective listening which is choosing to hear the words that prove the point in your mind while ignoring the rest. • Blocking: The harder the subject is for your partner to talk about, the easier for you to block him/her by numerous forms of judgement; criticizing, sounding that they are silly, over the top, unreal, unkind, etc.. Following effective listening, talking clearly is the second element of powerful communication. People are talking all the time but are not expressing themselves effectively the majority of the time.

The 3rd-collage is learning about the amendments. The first one they learn is obviously the first amendment so this will just confuse them trying to change it and having them learn something all new. If you conflate the ability to say what you want, how you want, with an immunity from criticism or consequence of the speech, you are likely to be surprised. If you are not aware of, or refuse to seriously consider, that many people who might in times past have not publicly objected to your speech now feel free to do so and in no uncertain terms, you may become unhappy. If you choose not to treat those responses and criticisms seriously, your reputation may ultimately suffer.
