Bryce used the words such as “I feel bad” which is an obstacle to communicating his emotions called speaking in generalities in his situation. General statements like “I feel bad” or “I am sad” (Woods, p.180 2012) communicate emotional states but do so ineffectively. Bryce using this language does not give a clear understanding of what he feels. Bryce also said, “I guess I am not feeling much of anything.” Bryce using this is an example of counterfeit emotional language.” This is a language that seems to express emotions but does not describe what a person is feeling (Wood, 2012 p182). Bryce never explained anything to Todd. Our environment, perception and your social experience are factors that will affect the way you will express your
Strong emotions towards another can cause one to act irrationally. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Rudy, Liesel, and her foster father Hans develop strong emotions towards others that cause them to act rashly. Rudy’s, Liesel’s, and Hans’s actions illustrate the unreasonable actions caused by strong feelings towards another.
The Hawaiian culture is known throughout the western world for their extravagant luaus, beautiful islands, and a language that comes nowhere near being pronounceable to anyone but a Hawaiian. Whenever someone wants to “get away” their first thought is to sit on the beach in Hawai’i with a Mai tai in their hand and watch the sun go down. Haunani-Kay Trask is a native Hawaiian educated on the mainland because it was believed to provide a better education. She questioned the stories of her heritage she heard as a child when she began learning of her ancestors in books at school. Confused by which story was correct, she returned to Hawai’i and discovered that the books of the mainland schools had been all wrong and her heritage was correctly told through the language and teachings of her own people. With her use of pathos and connotative language, Trask does a fine job of defending her argument that the western world destroyed her vibrant Hawaiian culture.

A prominent example of such a case is when Candy’s dog is killed yet his emotionless facade prevents the other men from seeing what he’s feeling. The men anxiously await for his reaction but are surprised when “...he rolled slowly over and faced the wall and lay silent,” (Steinbeck 49). While it is true that Candy knows about everyone on the ranch, he isn’t particularly close to anyone. Instead of showing sorrow, or expressing his grief at the loss of his only companion, Candy shields himself from the others. His loneliness is now more evident after losing the only thing that he was truly close to. Similarly, when George had to kill Lennie, he didn’t display any somber emotions, instead he becomes stoic and quiet. After he shoots his lifelong friend, the men come rushing only to promptly interrogate George, he in turn answered though his “...voice was almost a whisper,” (Steinbeck 107). Because George isn’t close to any of the men surrounding him, he isn’t comfortable with showing his feelings and therefore reverts into a quiet man. Losing the one true friend he’s ever had has only served to remind George how alone in he is in the world, having no one to rely on but

Finally, after months of feeling improvement was out of his reach, the author details his joy at being able to understand his teacher’s abusive statement. As his teacher goes about disparaging him, he has a realization that he can understand every word spoken by her. Although he states this is only a "small step" (Sedaris 1) he is filled with pride. The euphoria he feels is so well depicted that you can feel it within

... everyone deals with the same problems. Kelley’s use of pathos is not represented well, if readers really pay attention to what she is saying they will feel emotion, but there isn’t anything major that would actually cause the reader to express feeling.
People make purchases on the basis of emotion rather than logic. I believe out of my experience that people decide to buy something not because it serves them a purpose but because it feels right to them. After this first stage of buying I know for sure that people start to think of logic to justify their decision to themselves. So it becomes extremely important for a salesperson to make an emotional connection between their prospects and themselves. I make sure that every time I have a prospect I will make a personal connection with that particular prospect. The whole idea behind it is used to generate an interest that touches them internally. This way I made sure that my time is not wasted and I am able to sell more over a selling spree. Therefore, it becomes extremely important for you as a salesperson to close deals on the basis of the emotions rather than selling with logic.
This past week has been interesting at my internship site (multiple locations) and as member of a support group in Dr. Sartor’s class. Not only did I get to see group therapy in action, I had actually learned something about myself and the bias of my emotions. During group session, I felt confident in my anger and frustration that I ranted about a situation that occurred at my internship site (Acorn Daycare) with a student client and a teacher. Along with the incident, my emotions had magnified about the unpreparedness I had felt on a quiz that I had finished taking. While I shared with the group, it was a relief to see the group members’ faces of concern, as it made me feel that my emotions were valid and were aligned with what had happened.
He is especially equipped with skills to verbalize his emotions. On multiple occasions throughout this observation J was able to communicate to me that he was frustrated with me or the teacher in a way that we were able to talk through and come to a solution to solve his frustration. (See example September, 3 9:40-10:10 fourth paragraph.) I was also able to see J verbally display his emotions on September, 3 8:30-8:45 when he was telling me that he really liked his classmate D and wanted her to be his girlfriend. In this conversation he was also able to verbalize to me that he understood that he was too young to
Acquisitions can be very taxing on both the buyer and the seller during periods of negotiation through development of a binding contract: each wanting different terms and conditions. Neither understands the emotions behind the potential risks involved for both parties.
Reflection of meaning was used in the transcript section, T-29, by helping to provide insight to the client’s meaning when she stated that she felt isolated. Reflection of feelings was used in the transcript section, T-17. By using reflection of feelings, I validated how the client felt by stating that she must feel frustrated with what is going on with her current situation. I used premature interpretation in the transcript section, T-14, by making an assumption on how her dad must feel like rather than acknowledging her feelings of having to add her father on social media. The intended outcome of the session was to learn more about the client and her current situation. It was important to listen to her discuss her issues with the relationship
