To have the self-control and respect to just walk away from someone who just spit on you, is a skill that not many people have. I know from myself that I would never have been able to do that. If I were in Atticus’ place I would probably have spit Bob in the face. “It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows how immature they are.
I don’t interconnect with my pledge brothers how I should. These are the reasons why. Opening myself up to people become difficult at times. When I am inside of a new environment it takes me time to warm up and allow people to see the true me. My reasoning is because most don’t understand me, and they take my demeanor as cockiness.
When I was younger all I wanted to do was find some way to fit in, even though there is no point in trying and fit in when you were born to stand out and be different than everyone else. Everyone tends to adapt and conform to what other people think is cool. Sometimes it’s hard to try and stand out though because others who think they are better than you are constantly judging, even though God created everyone as equal. I myself am sometimes scared to do something outside of the “normal”. My friends are constantly asking why I care what others think and I still haven’t really figured that out yet.
In the United States, for example, people value the spoken word and small talk is normal, but in other cultures, they believe language can never reveal the truth, so small talk is avoided. The fifth and final principle is t “follow suggestions for effective verbal communication as one way to move closer to shared understanding” (Cheesebro, O’Conner, & Rios, 2010, p86). Taking constructive criticism to change how we speak can help people understand each other better. The five principles of nonverbal communication are “nonverbal communication is present everywhere and makes up the bulk of the messages people send” (Cheesebro, O’Conner, & Rios, 2010, p.88). Nonverbal communication is the facial expressions, the tone of speech, and the posture of the speaker.
I’m really curious about what is out there. I guess there is only one way to find out, I can’t wait! Oh shoot! Forgot to clean out the volcanoes! Entry 2 I wish there was a better way of traveling instead of using a flock of wild birds…but I mean beggars can be choosers.
A name doesn’t give a person there true identity because it is not chosen, it is selected by other people. A person typically get there name in the first day or so after birth, usually by their parents. At times, people do grow up to hate their name; it’s difficult for someone to identify with a name they despise or don’t like. In
Right? So do what you want, for you and no one else. That is what people believe true freedom is. I think, that that way of thinking is an illusion and actually leads to less freedom in the long run. Pinocchio (which actually really creeps me out) gives a wonderful example of this.
Isaac Bwayo Mrs. Cooper English 100-002 March 17, 2014 The Ways I Lie I lie just like any other human. Simplify because I do not want to hear the truth all the time. The truth is not always necessary. I lie because I want to be lied to, and I do not want the painful burden of telling the truth all the time. Having to hold the truth in is exhausting.
Under this situation, if the other members just conform blindly for the fear of being left alone by others, the out-of-date food sold in the market might hurt the health of the consumers and negatively harm the company’s long term benefit in the end.

Few people know that I am really shy 9. One thing I really dislike about myself is my impatience 10.
