Media Language.

Hello again, I hope you have all had a successful week! Today in class, we talked about media like movies and tv shows that influence how we talk and interact with each other.  This reminded me so much of my best friend Holly and her sister Emily.  They watch so many movies and can remember every single line.  I was over there all the time during the summer, and they would just have conversations completely in movie quotes.  One of them would just say a quote, the other would get it, and they would go on sometimes for whole conversations.  I felt very left out at first, and was very confused when I first realized what they were doing.  I could never remember all those quotes that well from movies.  Eventually, though, I would realize when they said a quote, or if they were talking in quotes, and would just sit and let it blow over. That was the perfect example of feeling left out in a certain social situation because of media and different conversations.

Here is a picture of the three of us, Emily on the left and Holly on the right.
