Journal Entry #1 Verbal and Non verbal communication

Today it is very important that when conducting an interview you use verbal and non verbal communication correctly. When you watch the news or talk shows you always see the host making eye contact, showing recognition of the other persons feelings, and using correct posture. It would also help for you to show enthusiasm when conducting the interview to show the other person that you care about what you are doing. It is also important to show confidence when conducting an interview so when your audience then see the interview they are trustworthy about the information they are receiving. Make sure you punctuate your words correctly so when asking your questions the person answering can understand and answer them to the best of their ability. Also when the person answers make sure to be not to be overly redundant on any complicated answers, and make necessiate questions where the person has to elaborate on their answer, don't make yes and no questions.Just obliterate any other thoughts and just focus on the interview, and articulate your thoughts properly. It would behoove you to take these important tips on conducting an interview with verbal and non verbal communication. You then could have a interview appealing to others.

O Henry: After 20 years

      Sometimes in life you are faced with difficult situations, and it kills you to do the right thing. Well, this was one of those times. I was in English class sitting in the back as usual. We were taking a test online, and there I saw my best friend in the front row cheating with the person behind them. I then had to decide if I was going to tell the teacher what was happening or decide to just pretend like I never saw anything. I decided to tell the teacher about the situation.

 

 

      I decided to tell because it might be some minor consequences for the persons actions now that they have to face. But later on in life they might do the same thing again and have even bigger consequences. For instance, let's say I didn't tell on them for cheating now and later they cheat on a stanardized test the consequences would be greater. Hopefully, my decision will behoove them in the future. I will always have confidence in all the decisions I make.

Response to literature

Response to Literature Breyden Kellam 2nd hour Recently, in our 7th grade S.T.E.M English class, we have been reading a teen fiction novel called “One Fat Summer” by Robert Lipsyte. Overall, I thought the novel was interesting and had many things in it that I can relate to. One Fat Summer is about a fourteen-year-old named Bobby Marks. Bobby hated summertime because during the summer you can’t cover up your weight, but any other season you can. As of that summer Bobby weighed more than 200 pounds, he couldn’t know how much he exactly weighed because when Bobby saw the number 200 roll up on the scale, he hopped off. Bobby’s dad, Mr. Marks, is always nagging him about losing weight. I know this because in the story he is always watching Bobby with a look of disgust when Bobby’s eating and he always gets mad at Mrs. Marks when she feeds him a lot of food. He said " He's not going to thank you in ten years when he weighs three hundred pounds." I can relate to this because my dad is always telling me about how I have to start exercising regularly and planning out a daily physical regiment. He says you have to be in the best physical shape you can be in because later on you’ll feel great knowing that you’re fit and healthy. Mr. Marks wants Bobby to get a job being a junior camp counselor for the summer. But, Bobby doesn’t want to. So he tries to get out of it by doing an extra credit assignment for the summer with his best friend Joanie. Joanie is Bobby’s best friend because they knew each other since they were little. In addition to that Bobby and Joanie are both teased because Bobby is overweight and Joanie had a long crooked nose. But Joanie unexpectedly goes to the city with her parents for a few weeks and Bobby doesn’t know how he is going to survive the next few weeks without her. I can also relate to this sometimes because my friend recently went to Alabama for a week and I had to go this party where I was the only big kid there so I kind of felt like if she was there it would have been better. Since Joanie was leaving Bobby had to have a back-up plan. So while at the carnival Joannie saw an ad for a summer job cutting grass. She convinced Bobby to call and get it. Sometimes I do the same thing, I hang out with friends to get out of doing work and sometimes it actually works. It just so happens that it worked for Bobby too. When Bobby calls to try to get the job, he is told to come by for an interview and if he passes he can have the job. When Bobby arrives for the interview he is greeted by a big house up on a hill filled with row after row of grass. Then he sees a man with black eyes with thin lips. His name was Dr. Kahn. Dr. Kahn then proceeded to ask Bobby about his age. Bobby told him seventeen, which was a lie. He also asked him some other things about himself. After the interview Dr. Kahn told Bobby he could have the job. While Bobby was walking home from Dr. Kahn’s house a blue and white Chevrolet pulled up to him. It was the guy from the snack bar that had been teasing Bobby and Joanie. He threatened Bobby saying that if he caught him back in the area he would run him back to the city. In the story, Bobby was always being teased about his weight. For example, Willie said “Listen, fats, if I catch you around the lake again without a license for that big can of yours, I’ll run you right back to the city where you belong. So Bobby goes to work for Dr. Kahn secretively without anyone knowing and he lies and told his mother that he had a job working for Pete Marino. Pete Marino’s father owns a Beach Club out on Rumson Lake. Pete is a great swimmer and a champion for breaststroke style of swimming. He is good looking and very slim and built. Bobby secretly wishes he could be Pete. I sometimes wish I could be like somebody else too. I love the person I am. But sometimes I want to be somebody else for their amazing qualities. So I could see why Bobby might want to be like him for different reasons. Bobby is actually a good swimmer and he is an expert at swimming underwater. Pete Marino used to give Bobby lessons but then Bobby started to feel uncomfortable in a swimsuit. I feel uncomfortable in a swimsuit to because sometimes everybody else is in there swimsuit to and others are looking at you, and it’s just a weird feeling. I sometimes don’t even want to go swimming for that exact reason. As the summer goes on Bobby notices that the job is getting easier and he’s losing weight. Now, Bobby has confidence in what he’s doing and he is trying to do it to the best of his ability. Just like Bobby I feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when I finally start to notice you can do something. And when I know I can do it, it feels easier and it’s more fun. For example in our house I do the dishes. When I first started I did the job reluctantly and effortlessly. But then I started putting my mind to it and I know I can get the job done in 20 minutes. One day Mrs. Marks tells Bobby that Joanie is back from the city and Joanie and her parents invited Bobby and his family over. When Bobby gets to Joanie’s house, Joanie is nowhere to be found. But then when she comes out, Bobby is so surprised he could hardly speak. Joanie had gotten a nose job back in the city. When Joanie ask Bobby what he thinks of her new nose Bobby says it looks nice, but he is not telling the truth for the most part. Just like Bobby, I sometimes feel scared to tell the full truth because if I do so I know it will hurt somebody’s feelings. You tell them what they want to hear but on the inside I’m scared of their reactions. At the end of One Fat Summer Bobby ends up losing weight and learning how to stand up for himself. After this summer of changes he feels great and now he loves summertime and doesn’t want it to end. Sometimes you think something is bad but you’re just not being optimistic about it, then when you give things a chance to work themselves out and you’re positive about a bad situation and you’re being proactive, amazing things can happen. So overall “One Fat Summer” was a great book and whoever reads this novel will be interested and relate to the various topics in the story. Not only is it a great read for teens, adults can take valuable lessons out of the story and get a great read from it.
