It then becomes easy for the reader to understand why the unnamed man chooses to read in the store, because despite all Fat Maz's soul searching and her father's bad temper, the newsagency is actually a very place with a homey feel. Also a familiar place the reader can relate
He treated Sam well and taught him the ropes when everyone else made fun of him as soon as he walked through the gym door. It showed me a lot about Tiny, and possibly that Tiny was Sam one day and was just retuning the favor. The authors writing style is very easy to follow and understanding, but at times he makes it intense when needed. He writes in a style that keeps you interested all times but does not leave you hanging or guessing. That is the strength of the book I think, not the simplicity but the way he makes you feel as though you are the writer.
Thomas Jefferson and Elizabeth Cady Stanton did a fantastic job in each of their pieces however some words can lose the readers in the process and take their minds from understanding the point to trying to figure out what a certain word means, and with that you can lose attention from the audience. Although it was acceptable back then because the norms for speaking and vocabulary were much higher than they are now, Barry is just relating to today’s average vocabulary. His style is centered on being informal and conversational. He is able to inform his audience of the fallacies of his kitchen and living room appliances and talk to them like they’re human, rather than talking at them as if he was giving a lecture. People don’t have that long of an attention span.
He shows responsibility through his willingness to keep everyone together as a team, and work together. He also shows responsibility when he calls meeting to decide on decisions all together.

The counsellor has a genuine regard for the client, they may not approve of some of the client’s actions, but the therapist does approve of the client. The therapist needs an attitude of “I’ll accept you as you are.” The therapist must always maintain a positive attitude to the client at all times.
I found that using certain skills such as paraphrasing, reflecting feelings, summarising, challenging and asking open questions to explore options were required to form a therapeutic alliance between my client and me. Despite using these skills effectively, certain situations evoked anxiety during the session. Hovarth and Symonds (1994) believe teamwork between therapists and client is the key element of a therapeutic alliance. It provides a safe environment for clients to explore themselves, a relationship where the client’s key issues are explored,
In this relaxed state the client has the vital ability to change one’s self through determined focus. The client will only accept positive suggestions offered by the therapist if they are convinced by their skill and ability to bring out a successful outcome that benefits the client.

The narrator is forced into interaction with a blind man by his encouraging wife and now takes on an unpleasant feeling. The mental notes begin to stop telling the story, while actual dialogue between people begins. With the use of dialogue the narrator is making an attempt to make Robert feel comfortable in his home, however, he still feels as if Robert is strange because of his blindness. The living room scene is a strong indicator of the narrator’s weariness of forming a relationship with a blind man and it is almost like he is handicapped himself, because he is unable to engage in normal dialogue with Robert. The narrator finds himself questioning which side of the train Robert sat on because of the scenery.
