ZHEYU and Jerly

We both agree that Shame can produce adverse or traumatic effects on a person’s emotional health.   He has been trying hard to fit in with the majority of people and not to be the one left out. His heart hungered for justice. But there were people in his life who constantly humiliated him. Formal these vicious treatments, just let such a child become a person with low self-esteem.

Jerly thinks that Gregory effectively communicates his message about social and individual inhumanity. Richard’s shame is caused by poverty, which leads to the old wino paying the price of blood for a measly meal.

ZHEYU thinks that This article describes the damage of poverty and discrimination to Richard’s life.

I think that The article tells about how he was treated unfairly as an African American growing up. It was in this unfairness that he felt ashamed.

Activity 1: For a long time, my stepson, Jonathan, was unhappy to have me as part of his family, for he resented that he didn’t have both biological parents at home. I tried to get to know him better, but he would complain that I invaded his privacy. As a newcomer, I understood that our relationship would require effort from both of us. It was not enough that I was friendly. Jonathan also had to want us to be friends, and I was not happy with the two of us being strangers, but I could wait for him to feel more comfortable around me.

Activity 2: Anne Marie collects antique bottles and loves to turn them into works of art. She will buy bottles if she likes them, but she prefers to find them in the ground. She finds bottles everywhere, but she picks them selectively. However, she has the best luck at construction sites on old farmland, where she spends most of her time. Often, bottles appear on the surface after a good rain, but they disappear very soon. She uses special tools for excavating bottles, including a set of brushes. She does not want to break the bottles as she removes them from the ground. After finding a new bottle, Anne Marie will add it to her display case and hang it on the wall as an artistic piece (Mangelsdorf, 2013, p. 411).

we all learn that we need to know what we are to be an expert on the topic we are talking about to build up a good ethos.  We also need to respect our audience and know the values and ideas. We will also have to use good hand gestures and eye contact to make the speech flow much smoother.  The outline part is really important.

Andrew thinks that   Visual diagrams like PowerPoint would make the speech go much smoother since people can both see and hear simultaneously. I do agree with him.

Victoria thinks that The last is to know what kinds of style that an individual wants to express. Yes, I realize that the style is also really important.

I also have a special point which is, First of all, we need to be brave to speak in from of people. Otherwise, no matter how well prepared you are, you will be dumb if you dare not speak.

How come the front door is open? Didn’t you close it before we went shopping?

I’m sure I did. I can’t understand it. Frankly, I smell a rat.

Me, too. I’m convinced that something is definitely wrong here. We’d better call the police.

 

Have you seen their house lately? It’s really gone to the dogs.

It’s true that it has become run-down and in serious need of repair, but I’m sure that it can be fixed up to look like new.

I guess with a little carpentry work and some paint it could look pretty decent.

 

Bob was going to retire from teaching in June, and the foreign language department was planning on presenting him with some luggage at his retirement dinner. He wasn’t supposed to know about it, but someone let the cat out of the bag. At the dinner Bob acted surprised, even though someone had told him what he was getting before the official presentation.

 

Come on, Connie! Tell us what you think about our little ride down the rapids yesterday.

Well, uh…

Wasn’t it exciting?

I, uh…

What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?

If you must know, I’m keeping quiet because I was scared out of my wits!

 

That’s it, Greg! You’d better not come in after midnight again tonight!

I know, dad. You don’t have to jump down my throat! I told you that I’d make it home around 11:30. I don’t intend to be late!

Well, you’ve said that before and in you come at 2: 30 in the morning. You can’t blame me for getting angry and scolding you. I’ve got good reason.
