A Telephone Call by Dorothy Parker is an intriguing inner monologue, that portrays the infatuation some partners have with their significant other. I personally found the story to be rather compelling, constantly engaging the readers with Parker’s use of repetition. Although it definitely isn't my favorite story, it had an abundance of interesting aspects. A scene that I found amusing is when the pemberley female role questions whether her concern over the males lack of communication is reasonable, or not. She asks asks herself whether he won’t call, yet rather will come over to her house, without leaving any verbal message. That idea startles her, for what if he sees she weeping in her house, what will that cause him to do? Based off of that idea, she wishes that he, himself, would begin crying too, in a tantrum like fashion. She wishes the worst emotional pain ever would be inflicted upon him. I found this scene to be rather interesting because it shows the innermost workings of her mind. It portrays how she have a plethora of positive feelings towards this male, yet after a few seconds of assuring thoughts, she fall into a fit of blind rage. The idea of back and forth propositions is very interesting to read, especially when after a scene filled with clashing statements, a completely different idea is thrown into the character’s mind. There are a plentiful amount of scenes I enjoyed, or was humored by, yet, this one I found to be the most intriguing. At first, the story frustrated me. I presumed based off of the first couple of paragraphs that it would be about a stereotypical woman, who is obsessive towards the male. I thought that the idea of the novel was somewhat patriarchal, because the woman was almost belittling herself for being so distraught on the idea of the male not communicating with her. Yet, I found the idea of “God” interesting in this story. For me, I found that God, in some aspects of the story, wasn't supposed to have any religious aspect to it, rather “God” was the female character referring herself. She was contemplating to herself, asking herself questions, and wishing a plethora of wishes to herself, not God. As an example, when she says,”Oh, God, please don't let me telephone
The air reeked of alcohol, the intoxicated breaths of young people colliding together over drunken slurs to create one distinct scent. She kept her head low as she made her way through the maze made by the seemingly endless crowd. Full of regrets, she was doing all she could to get out of there, the distraction turning out to be nothing more than a few drinks with people who didn't even know when her birthday was. The song finished abruptly, followed by simultaneous cheering. She kept moving, weaving in and out of people with fierce determination until she walked right into him. She murmured a quick apology and went to continue when the familiarity of the figure in front of her hit. She hesitantly looked up, heart dropping into her stomach at the mere sight of him.
Markus Zusak’s, The Messenger features the protagonist Ed Kennedy, and how he completed each mission of aces; diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts.

Thornton Wilder, a Wisconsin native, is the writer of the Pulitzer Prize winner play Our Town. In Our Town, Wilder tells the story of a town in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, and the daily lives of the inhabitants. In the play, the author uses minimal props and scenery as well as including a main character known as the Stage Manager that has the ability to break the fourth wall, allowing him to talk to the audience. This factor of talking to the audience is a major component of making the public a part of the town. Throughout the play, there are many instances in which the Stage Manager uses various cues as well as dialogues to incorporate the audience and develop an intimate relationship to create a true sense of “our town”.

Comparing and Contrasting How Womanhood is Portrayed in As I lay Dying and Their Eyes Were Watching God
The crucial conversation scenario about a couple after a night out seemed point on to me about how dialect in couples can emerge after a night out drinking. Each partner told clever stories by making excuses for their own behavior brought on by their version of how the night played out. Angered perceptions of how the other partner was acting at the party resulted in the need to justify their own behavior feeling that they were each the victim that night.
Having a crucial conversation can be difficult; however, it is essential for me to be successful in my project. I think of different ways I could approach the CNA to have this crucial conversation without any conflict and to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible, and handle the conversation in a way that will produce a better outcome. I asked the CNA to let me know when she is ready for her break, so we can take one together because I will like to talk to her about something that will improve our work relationship effectively. We went for a break, and I started the conversation by saying I would like to talk to you about some things I am noticing when we work together, I am not accusing you of anything, I just want us to talk about my observations, and I will listen to what you have to say. I explained to her about the issues in my initial post, when I started the conversation her facial expression
Anxiety, an unnerving feeling that brings uneasiness to the human mind. Thousands of individuals get help from friends and loved ones, as they want someone to help them. With a constant source of comfort, one can go too far, giving birth to an unhealthy need for someone called separation anxiety disorder. According to the “DSM 5”, this disorder is the fear of “separation from attachment figures to a degree that is developmentally inappropriate”. Darling in Dorothy Parker's “A Telephone Call” displays signs of separation anxiety disorder when talking about her man. The protagonists' symptoms include: an excessive distress when separated from her lover, a constant worry of losing her date, and a persistent dread of a life without her partner.

You gave some very important points in your presentation on the views of women (the abused), children, and men (the abusers). It was a good thing that you had the opportunity to observe a situation where the mothers are in fear while in court in the same room with their abusers. It is not as easy for women to have the court system in their favor, because a father should be with their children, and vice versa. The courts do not see what is going on in the home, instead judges rely on what they see in court. As to that, what judges see from the abusers is a practiced monologue for the father to stay in contact with their children. That becoming a risk for the abusers to continue to victimize the mothers, and eventually the children. We, as social
People spend a significant part of their lives listening and talking, that is the main reason why conversation is regarded to be the most generalised form of talk that concerns both speakers and listeners and it is contemplated to be the essential ingredient in co-operative undertaking (Wardhaugh, 1985). Conversation is informal talk involving two or more people and interviews are a particular type of conversation. Interviews are regarded as meetings at which a journalist asks questions in order to find out the interviewee’s opinion. This is an assignment that analyses a telephone interview, so there is an absence of eye contact, body language or facial expressions that are attributes of a ‘live’
The question then for Terence Davies is: what about the woman? There is some joy here, or even small chirpings of humor in that reserved 19th century comedy-of-manners way at times in the first two-thirds... and then the last third is among the saddest things I've seen unfold in a very long time. What makes A Quiet Passion convincing is that Davies and his crew and cast commit to it all, and his style is one of patience with his compositions and movements of the frame - let's take a little time moving across faces, for example, listening to a piece of music, or let's make sure we don't too much when we can see the sum total of emotions an actor is expressing in listening (or, as a character may
