In Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, Holden would like Lee because she is a predictable person. For instance, she is predicted to do anything anybody asks her to even though if she does not like it or promised that she would never do it again because she puts peoples’ needs before her own. For instance, “And this was it, the last time: I was retiring from cutting hair” (158). This shows that Lee is retiring from hair cutting because she felt disgusted by Aspeth and Cross’ behavior. They were flirting in front of her when Lee was cutting Aspeth’s nasty blond hair. “My hair desperately needs cutting” (164). This shows that Lee is predictable because after she vowed that she would not cut anybody’s hair anymore, she cut Ms. Moray’s hair a few days after

In the article, "For Argument’s Sake: Why Do We Feel Compelled to Fight About Everything? Witten by Deborah Tannen. She express that we live in an argumentative culture, where everyone is entitled to their own freedom of speech and rights. Tannen shows that arguments rarely lead to an understanding, but rather that an argument becomes less about the topic at hand and more about proving the opposing side wrong ( Tannen, Deborah(,2008). She tells her stories in many different form to gather the audience’s attention. She then starts to use big words and different logics to appeal to a more intellectual audience. She then starts her stories by manipulating and persuading the unintelligent audience to pull them in so they would know that she is insulting them by using the bigger words, making them feel intimidated.

How does being a restaurant critic at New York Times sound? Inviting? Ruth Reichl, the food critic of Los Angeles Times thought the same thing. She, her husband Michael, and their little son Nick had lived in LA for a long time, and when she got offered a new job in NYT, Ruth and her family decided to use the opportunity, and moved to the crowded New Your City. Although Ruth didn't want to accept these changes right away, she got used to everyone, and finally started enjoying her new job. She got well known as a 'famous' food critic while still being in LA so it became very problematic for her to show up at a restaurant unnoticed.

In Deborah Tannen’s book, “The Argument Culture,” she states our society has become an argument culture, where “a culture of critique” can oversimplify, distort or filler out important aspects of a debate. In an online thread posted on “The Blaze” website page under an article that reads, “Teacher: Deport illegal immigrants so schools can ‘better serve American citizen students,” there have been numerous comments posted by online users representing the argument culture, which Tannen emphasizes we are living in. user “Info10” stated, “Rayne Weankee, a former AHS student, told the station he’s “disappointed because I always felt the school should be held to a higher standard, and this isn’t helping their image.” It just moved to a higher

I would categorize Debra LaFave as a fixated sex offender, with a topology of high fixation/high social competence. Sex offenders who are categorized as fixated will not usually have sex with people within their own age range, appear to be emotionally undeveloped, and are overly interested in interacting with children. They will typically concentrate on young boys that are not part of their family. The offender will spend time creating a relationship with children through grooming and pre-meditation to gain their trust and acceptance. Ms. LaFave falls into the category of approach–explicit because she took the time to groom Billy, planned out the opportunity for them to be together, while trying not to get caught (CSOM, 2016).

In the excerpt by Deborah Tannen entitled, The Argument Culture: Moving from Debate to Dialogue Tannen speaks about the oppositional nature of public discourse. She expressed her thoughts on how we are determined to seek certainty by using arguments from two different standpoints, as if there are no additional angles that can be examined. Oftentimes, there are more than two sides of an issue, but due to the way society has taught us, we only look at issues from two extreme perspectives. I find Dr. Tannen to be extremely intelligent in her observations of how people communicate using debates and opposition as a means to express what we believe to be true. Although Americans habitually view issues from only two extreme points of view, dialogue solves more problems than debates because it does not cause division among people as frequently as debates does.

“We tend to think of language as something we use; we are much less often aware of the way we are used by language” (Cross 247). There are different types of communication and communication styles, for example, verbal, non-verbal, and visual. Propaganda can be found in all forms of communication. It is used for persuading, coercing, and manipulating ones feelings, actions, and belief of things in a certain way. Donna Woolfolk Cross believes, “The only defense to become wise to the ways of words” (247).
