Friendship Between Eleanor And Park
Task 1A
I communicate both online and offline. I prefer communicating offline, and being in the same room as my friends. My friends and I are good at meeting in real life, but in the evenings, or when the weather is terrible the online communication takes over.
When I get online or on social media, the communication changes at once. When I chat, a smile changes into “haha” and an irritated look on a face changes into an emoji. Online you are not able to see the body language to the other person/persons you are communicating with, and that irritates me a lot. I get insecure very quickly, and I keep thinking the worst-case scenario. Of course, the emoji’s and “haha” helps, but I can never tell if the person is telling the truth or messing with

I’m more shy online, and more insecure, but the feeling of knowing what’s going on is worth it. I can never live a life in a world were friends only talk online, I think it will get boring, very quickly.
Task 1B
Appendix 1, Eleanor and Park, is an extract from the book Eleanor and Park. In the extract, it is described to us how the friendship between Eleanor and Park slowly begins to take place. Every day they sit next to each other on the school bus, back and forth. They never talk, and have never talked to each other. They both are some of the outcasts in the school, so avoiding to talk to each other is a way to reduce the chance of being bullied by other students, who sits close to them.
In the beginning Elanor and Park, as told, never talk, but they still communicate. They communicate with body language. Park finds out that Eleanor secretly, reads his comic books by her body language. The way she stares into the book, and her eyes follow the words. So, Park starts to hold his comics open more wide and turns the pages more slowly. This is an example of their

I had been given a special code, so only the students could get in. It was four other people I the chatroom, three other students and the teacher. The teachers name was Ms. Jules, and I learned quickly that she was a type of teacher that saw her students, and wanted all of them to succeed. Every morning she goes to work, or logs in to work, and want to teach. The money part is not important. It is not many of those kind of teachers, I remember I liked her at once. I’m so lucky that I still have Ms. Jules, she teaches me for five hours every day. She has given me back the motivation to learn. In my old school, I got D in Math, now I got A. It’s unbillable. When I got my first A, I wanted to cry. But I’m a dude, so I can’t cry. Or that is what the “cool” guys at my old school

    Sensory details emphasize that Eleanor Roosevelt had a troubled childhood, filled with loneliness and discomfort. In the later years of her life she referred to her younger self as a “blue eyed rather ugly little girl.” This statement accentuates Eleanor’s lack of confidence in herself as a child. However, this uncertainty about herself as a kid likely contributed to her success as an adult. Second, Eleanor wrote that during “mother’s hour,” time Anna would spend with her kids in an attempt to reconnect their broken family. She wrote that she “felt a curious barrier between (herself) and (those) three.” Even within Eleanor’s own family, she felt disconnected and unlike them. Not only was there an emotional detachment from the rest of her family,…

    Just like in To Kill A Mockingbird, the character Park in Eleanor and Park also demonstrates moral growth by putting himself in others shoes and understanding the way others may feel. When Eleanor first moves to her new school, everybody judges her because of the way that she looks. People continue to judge her even though they never gave her a chance or try to get to know her. Rainbow Rowell writes, “The girl just looked like exactly the sort of person this would happen to. Not just new -- but big and awkward. With crazy hair, bright red on top of curly. And she dressed like...she wanted people to look at her. Or maybe she did not get what a mess was. She had on a plaid shirt, a man’s shirt, with half a dozen weird necklaces hanging around her neck and scarves wrapped around her wrists. She reminded Park of a scarecrow or…

    At the beginning of ninth grade, I was slowly recovering from clinical depression, a cruel, brooding disorder that makes one feel as if they would be content with drowning in the endless unforgiving abyss of the ocean. Along with this pestering grim recovery came the stress and lingering anxiety of potentially failing a freshman math class. Mr. Albaugh, my ninth grade math teacher, was a fairly young, arrogant, but undoubtedly intelligent math teacher. He would always have some kind of smug retort to a student’s question, and upon the remark, “I do not…

    In taking the Self-Perceived communication competence scale I noticed that I communicate better in an online setting. Face-to-face communication is the most audience-specific, rich, and interactive channel. Whereas in an online setting emphasizes written verbal skills with high specificity and inter-activity, it has a low richness of mediation. I feel that I communicate better in an online setting simply because I can express myself better in writing then I can face-to-face. My scores for face-to-face communication were more on the incompetent side, even though I can communicate that way it is not my strongest area. In an online setting my scores were much higher because it is easier for me to express my feelings to a small group of people or to get my point across to a large number of people.…

    In the 21st century we are now living in, the rapid advancement of technology has completely changed our lives, especially the tools we use to communicate. In the olden days where snail mail is one of the popular ways in communicating, people would rather choose interact face to face because it is the only way that could physically maintain their relationship as they can see the facial expressions and body gestures shown by the person who conveys the message to them. Even now, some people still prefer face to face interaction over computer mediated communication because of the lack of non verbal cues in computer mediated communication. However, with the invention of various computer mediated tools, people have eventually replaced it with face to face communication without them realizing because apparently the inventions of Facebook, Twitter, Skype and many more serve a more convenient platform for people to communicate. Although face to face communication is a better way to convey messages and feelings to each other, computer mediated communication makes our lives much easier.…
