Due to Henry being popular parliament were willing to help finance his invasion. He proved himself a worthy King from the very beginning by personally sening letters asking for help from religious communities and individuals asking for help with his plans. This shows from an early stage that Henry doesn't hold back. His organisation skills from the very early stages led him to being so successful in France as a whole as if he had just jumped straight in with trying to take over France at once, he wouldn't have stood a chance or gained credibility from his men and the French men. Gaining cedibility and respect was very important to Henry.
Restating what the speaker has said makes certain that there is a common understanding between the listener and the speaker. Active listening can also give the speaker confidence that the listener is interested in what the speaker has to say. When people are in conflict, they often contradict each other. This tends to make people defensive, and they will either lash out or withdraw and say nothing more. However, if they feel that people are really attuned to their concerns and want to listen, they are likely to explain in detail what they feel and why.
I also liked the way that the author went into every detail making the book easier for me to go back and review or read a certain topic again. I admired the way Napoleon won battles and was determined to win at any cost. I enjoyed the book, but I just have a different view or perspective than Owen Connelly of Napoleon. Owen Connelly negatively focused so much about Napoleon’s blunders. The author believes that Napoleon won many battles because of his enemies’ mistakes and not because of what he actually was…the greatest military mind that ever lived.

My judgments are my own and it’s unique. I can’t predict when it happens and when to shut it down, just like my heart beats. I thought this way because whenever I am are faced with someone or something new, I don’t necessarily think over my thoughts to see if it’s reasonable or if I should not think these thoughts. I was questioning how Gladwell will be able to educate and teach someone to control their judgments and first impressions because everyone is different and their thoughts are of course not the same. However, I do understand how learning to control my snap judgments and first impressions is important because it gives people a second chance to prove who they are but everyone is entitled to their own judgment and not everyone has to agree with
Taryn Stevenson Mr. David Charlson Comp 1 15 September 2012 Argument vs. Dialogue Have you ever wondered if maybe there is a right or wrong time to fight or defend specific ideas you may or may not agree with? I feel like most people don’t necessarily think about whether or not there is a right or wrong time, but rather just go day to day doing what they normally do. However, Deborah Tannen has written a short essay over what she calls “The Argument Culture.” Basically, Tannen discusses how this “argument culture” urges people all around the world to be close-minded in the sense that everything has to either be a win or lose. On the other hand, Tannen believes that there are not always two sides to everything.
My confidence and ability to get along well with others seems to help. How will you demonstrate this in a cover letter/resume?

He also shows readers why reinventing a story may be more important than telling the story just as it is remembered. Norman Bowker disapproves of O’Brien’s first attempt to describe a horrific battle, and, therefore, O’Brien feels the need to rewrite the story. Essentially, O’Brien must remember the event in a new way that makes the story more real for Bowker and other readers. Finally, O’Brien explains to readers why stories must be told, even with the risk telling the story the “wrong” way.
It is a valuable resource for us today because it specifically identifies many of the figures of speech which make writing interesting and effective. Quintilianus divided figures of speech into two kinds: Tropes—in which MEANING is altered from the usual or expected Schemes—in which WORD ORDER is altered
This question does not suggest that your audience is stupid or uneducated. As we saw in Chapter 1, there is a great deal of confusion today about such matters as free will, truth, knowledge, opinion, and morality. Many intelligent and educated people have fallen victim to ideas and attitudes that cripple their creative and critical faculties.
