    Summary Of Speaking With Hands By Luis J. Rodriguez

    The poem Speaking With Hands written by Luis J. Rodriguez illustrates discrimination that members of the lower class face because of their lower class status. The narrator grows up in a poor neighborhood where there are virtually no stores for him or his family to shop at. Only small corner stores were available for shopping. Unfortunately, the owners of these corner stores tended to overcharge for, “cheaper goods than what existed/in other parts of town,” as the narrator stated. From the narrator’s statement, the reader is now informed that the shopkeepers do charge more money for goods that are usually inexpensive. In addition to being overcharged, the narrator and his family had nowhere else to shop at which made it so they were forced to…

    Atricle Summary About Handedness

    Because people with left handedness have had plenty of stigma and curiosity surrounding them, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, Christina Tsuei looked into the reasons behind a person being left handed and different statistics having to do with handedness. The article says that about ten percent of people are left handed and one percent is “mixed-handed “which means they are not dominant with either hand. Handedness is only partially linked to genetics. Because handedness has to do with how our brain is wired researching handedness may give insight on different disorders. Research that was published in 2009 estimated that only twenty five percent of someone’s preference of hand has to do with genetics. Identical twins who have all the same genes might not share the same handedness. Environmental factors can also contribute to handedness. Things like the mother being highly stressed during pregnancy and low birth weight are thought to contribute to a child being left handed. For unknown reasons, handedness has a lot to do with how a baby’s brain develops while in the womb. There are no significant differences in IQ between people who are left handed and people who are right handed. It was found in research performed at Harvard that lefties might be better at divergent thinking but the salaries of people who favor their left hand are, on average, ten percent lower than righties. Usually with people who are right handed the left side of their brain is dominant whereas in the brains of lefties about seventy percent of them rely on the left half. Left handedness is sometimes associated with a greater risk for several psychiatric and developmental disorders. Symmetry is when neither side of the brain is dominant and is believed to be linked to disorders. Having a dominant hemisphere is more efficient and typical. People with schizophrenia tend to have more symmetry in their brains. In 2008 it was found in a study that people who are mixed of left handed may…

    Body Language

    Nonverbal communication is defined as “the conscious and unconscious reactions, movements, and utterances that people use in addition to the words and symbols associated with language.” Nonverbal communication is very important since 50 percent or more of the message were trying to get across is conveyed by verbal communication. The first verbal message to be aware of is facial expressions. The face is what people first focus on so it's obviously important to be aware of what message were giving off with our face. Suspicion and anger are often shown by tightness along the jaw. Smiles are proof of agreement and interest, but don't bite your lip because that signals uncertainty.…

    Arms and the Man

    Ironical Significance: The title of Arms and The Man is chose after careful consideration. The title is both apt chosen attractive and the dramatist’s choices justified. It is an ironical reversal of Virgil’s original intention. Virgil in his famous epic The Aencid recounts the martial exploits and adventures of Aeneid. But Shaw does not look at war with the same eyes as Virgil. He does not write this drama to speak about the glories of war. He rather proves that heroism and utter foolishness do not lie far apart. He shows through his characters that we must divest ourselves of all romantic illusions about war and real success falls to the man who acts with a realist’s self composure.…
