Words, words words what are they and what is their
purpose?
The use of a word holds many definitions. These definitions may
be determined based on the emotion placed behind the use of the
word. For example, if I am angry and I say Be Quiet!, it would be
written with the exclamation point in order to emphasize the severity
of
the order. However, if I were to say be quiet in a mild tone, it
may not be as offensive. Why do we need to address
emotion? Well, depending on how well we know ourselves and the
energy that is produced when we express, will determine what message
our audience will recieve. So for this activity, you will be
required to examine the following pictures. Take atleast 10
minutes to look at them all, then, respond to the instructions that
