...Reading as a Communication Process Reading can be consider as communication process, because the token or the symbols( litters or numbers) is not written, for as we will have to read, but it was wrote to deliver or to share our opinions or our emotions to whom who will read. Because of this, the writer or the discourse has a direct communication to reader through text he/she has been written. As we comprehend what has been written, we can emphasize what authors aim. So, we will have our reaction. Therefore, the reader and the writer has a communication to each other. That's why it called as a communication process. Language - is a code system used by humans to communicate. In language, there are certain characteristics that can evoke effective and positive reactions on man. ACTIVITY 1 Characteristics of a Language that are conducive to man's reading recognition and appreciation. 1. Clarity - The reader can more easily and immediately understand language when the code symbols are concrete rather than abstractions and generalizations. Example : * Many students attended the student council meeting. * Ninety-five college students attended Tuesday's student council meeting. 2. Simplicity - Complex wording written for the sake of verbal erudition is less easily understood, compared with what is expressed directly and to the point. Example : Compare these sentences. Shall we partake of our repast? | Shall we eat? | Mother's culinary dishes are...

...loneliness. The narrator in the short story “God´s lift is out of order” experiences though a childhood friend´s suicide. The two main characters of the story are the female narrator; I reckon it is a female narrator due to the fact that she is in love with Ed. The other main character is named Aaron, who is a childhood friend of the female narrator. The story starts in media res with the narrator´s dream about Aaron. In her dream Aaron is falling though the sky with armed stretched, screaming her name. Therefore she cannot get him off her mind. About two weeks after the dream on Christmas Eve the narrator is getting ready for a big birthday party. When she stumbles upon a Valentine’s Day card from Aaron, but does not have the time to read it. This is significant; because a Valentine´s day card is given to someone you have strong feelings for - at least according to popular American TV-shows. So Aaron was perhaps thinking of her as more than just a close friend or had been hiding his true feelings in fear of rejection or interfering with the narrators and Ed´s relationship. Later, when the narrator arrives at the party, she meets Kevin, who asks her if she has heard what happened to Aaron. Kevin, not realising that the narrator does not know anything, tells her that Aaron has committed suicide. The first-person narrator of the story is a girl, a black girl from Jamaica who lives in England. She has a boyfriend, Ed, who she is in love with, but even though he is mentioned...

...obeying meant they defy their proper or moral behaviour. The method used There were 3 people involved: The person in charge of running the experiment, the subject to the experiment and an actor who pretends to be part of the experiment. They all had different rolls; the person in charge of running the experiment was the ‘experimenter’ (and they took the authoritative roll), the ‘teacher’ (who was given instructions to perform by the experimenter) and the ‘learner’ (who was subject to the teachers actions). The two subjects (The actual volunteer and the actor) get to pick a piece of card each which would tell them their role in the experiment, little does the subject to the experiment know that both cards say teacher. When they are asked to read out what they got the subject would obviously picked teacher so he says teacher, but although the other person (the actor) would also pick out teacher they said learner anyway, this way it is ensured that the subject is the teacher. The teacher and learner then got separated into different rooms and the teacher was given a sample shock to show the teacher what he would be doing to the learner (actor). The teacher then gets given a list of word pairs that he is told to teach to the learner. The teacher began by reading...

...I am almost five years old now, and I’m about to enter Kindergarten. No more preschool for me! “I’m a big kid now” that’s my favorite commercial. Although I only like to listen to it really low. In preschool I didn’t talk to many people, and when I did it was only when I didn’t look at them. When my teacher tried to make me read I would always close my eyes, turn away, and scream. As I screamed I covered my ears because I hated the sound. My mom took me to a Spanish man who has a very heavy accent and spits 20 miles per hour when he talks. He wears big black square glasses, and writes everything on a big yellow notepad. He asks me question, after question after question. Then he writes, it’s almost like he wants to read my mind. He tells my mom “she’s sick.” No wait he say’s “she’s ill.”” She has …phobia.” He gives her a book to help me with my issue. I couldn’t quite make out exactly what he was saying. Although, I know it was a book about my phobia. My mom wouldn’t take it! She said “she doesn’t need it she’s...

Lenny was a tall gigantic man with a lot of strength who had a fascination of touching soft things such as mice or dogs, while George on the other hand was a shorter man that took on the role of taking care of both of them and keeping them out of trouble. However, one day Lenny had touched a woman's dress and wouldn't let go which frightened her to let out a loud scream. The young woman ran back to tell everyone in town what happened which led...

...The Tell-Tale Heart Edgar Allan Poe is the author of the short story, “the tell-tale heart”, which he wrote in 1842. The whole story takes place in an old man’s house, mainly in the bedroom, in approximately 1842 as that is when the story is written, perhaps a bit earlier. The story is written in first person and therefore making this narrator unreliable. A first person narrator cannot be omniscient. Another reason for the unreliability of the narrator is the fact that he is mad. He tries to deny this, even prove to us, the readers, that he is perfectly sane; this is in fact the reason why he ‘chose’ to tell us this story. In this story we are introduced to the owner – who is referred to as “the old man” by the narrator – of the house. This old man has a pale, blue eye, which the narrator thinks resembles that of a vulture. He calls it “the Evil Eye”. The short story starts with an introduction of the story we are about to be told and it is told in chronological order. The narrator wants us to know why he is not mad. Everything he tells us, though, leaves us with the impression that he really is mad – “It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening […] Ha! – would a madman have been so wise as this?” – The way he brags about an accomplishment like this one makes him seem crazy and as the story progresses we can confirm that he is indeed mad. The theme in the story is horror and paranoia. Due to the fact it is written in the 19th century it does...

...their other fellow seals. “Getting your feet wet is the best way to learn how to swim,” says Jeff Cannon the author of the book. Seals teach others leadership by forcing their students to get in and getting their hands dirty. Currently, there are hundreds of squads of Navy Seals doing work somewhere around the world. They work hundred- hour shifts, and most of the time they are under a lot of pressure to do their job. They are probably freezing and soaking wet. They usually can’t speak to their families and they don’t have any money with them. Despite all of these hardships, they develop a strong bond with their other peers, their boss, and all of their missions. The first lesson for a Navy Seal is to set their goals. In 1991 during the Gulf War, a Navy Seal developed a strategic plan that had the potential to affect the war. When Seals plan a mission, their flowcharts are so filled up with ideas that sometimes they look like trees. Their mission starts out as a strong, solid tree base, then it begins to split and branch out into every direction. Setting a realistic goal for your team is the first step to reach a goal that is worth wile and meaningful for you and others. When setting a goal you always need to plan ahead and prepare for a new situation that has not yet been identified yet. To complete this the Seal organization goes beyond it’s training to help them learn first-aid, to training them how to dive and sink terrorist’s ships that haven’t been found yet. They continually...

...The main character Huckleberry “Huck” Finn. Huck is rudimentary American. He encapsulates our trademark resistance, our anxiousness with power and tradition, our unwillingness to be “sivilized” without wanting to. Its vigorous casual voice has a particular diction from the onset of the novel, Huck states, “You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth” (Twain 1). Twain's native Missouri dialectic and tone, a virtual presentation of freedom from the formal English is presented from the first to the last page of his novel. Huck is an unlikely hero for a book. Huck is inherently kindhearted, but finds himself stifled and corrupted by society’s restraints throughout the novel. Huck acknowledges that he does not consider himself “sivilized,” despite the widow’s many attempts, but does not realize that in his shortcoming lies his greatest strength: he is free from societal conformities...

...Soul Seeker There he is. He seems normal enough. A normal citizen enjoying the beauty around him. But no, he’s not. He’s a predator. He reads you. He spots you from afar. He watches your body movement. How you walk. How stiff you are. How you respond. He enters your mind through your eyes. He reads your personality. Your self-esteem. He examines you carefully. Are you an easy target? Are you worthy enough to be his prey? He makes his decision. He’s on the move. He walks over to you. He gives you his greetings. All the while he’s still scanning you. Analyzing how you react. He shakes your hand. He could feel how tense you are. Lovely! There’s nothing else he can do now. So he moves on. He already knows where to find you next. That’s just him. The Soul Seeker. Life for you is just difficult. Just overbearing. Everything seems to always go wrong. If it’s going great it’s just too good to be true. Something bad just has to happen. He loves that. He loves the mentality. You need someone to talk to. But no one understands. Trust me, he’ll be waiting. You enter the café. He’s already there. He was expecting you. He smells your depression as you enter. He comes to sit next to you. You shift uneasily. He likes that. He speaks to you in a soothing voice. His facial expression is soft. But yet something about his wavy hair, beady eyes, pointy nose and casual grin gets you thinking. He senses your suspicion. He likes that too. He introduces himself as Jack, Jack Turner. You introduce...
