In this scenario, when Johnny first asks Ken, “does your friend have to stay here all the time?”, he is coming off rather strong and it is catching Ken off guard since Johnny is not being fully clear about his question to Ken, therefore, Ken is more likely to respond negatively and defensively. After Ken responds, Johnny gives a vague response and does not provide and reasons why he changed his mind.

In this response, Johnny should use language of responsibility where he uses “I” and “we” to express how he feels and what can be discussed about the situation. This is making it harder for Ken to understand Johnny’s situation and how he is feeling and affecting him and it makes Ken reply back with a defensive reply. Ken takes …show more content…
Their conversation turns into disruptive language and they begin to take out their frustrations out on one another rather than being objective about the situation. What Johnny can do instead to bring up the subject of conversation is to change the way he asks the question. This way he will not come off very aggressive. He can ask something like, “Hey Ken, can we talk about your friend? He’s been spending a lot of nights here and its affecting me.” What Johnny can then do is use language of responsibility and explain why his friend is affecting him. He should give a low-level abstract explanation in order that Ken can understand how his friend is affecting his sleep and his school work. For example, he can say that one night, Ken and his friend stayed up late and made a lot of noise, which distracted him from his studying and had a bad night’s rest and resulted in a poor test grade. By being specific and giving an example of how it is affecting him, it is

3. Why did John allow his brother to move in even though it increased the likelihood of further problems for him and his family? John allowed his brother to move in because on the outside it looked like he was doing what is traditional of Native Americans, but underneath the surface it allowed John to have another outlet for money and another person that would allow him to escape the realities of life. After being incarcerated, John had very little to do with his time and did not have a job.
John is unwilling to blacken his friends reputations and he clings to his own reputation of loyalty and integrity so he does
" Jimmy looked back, even more Glad and still fingering the Hard book. " John, I hate you," he replied. They looked at each other with Mad feelings, like two fierce, fluffy foxes hopping at a very Depressed Christmas, which had R & B music playing in the background and two special uncles rampaging to the beat. Suddenly, John lunged forward and tried to punch Jimmy in the face.
In the face of hysteria, John decides not to focus on himself, instead he

2004 AP English Language & Composition Free-Response Questions: Question 1 In the 1746 letter to his young son, Lord Chesterfield asserts to his son the importance of taking the full advantage of education in achieving excellence through the usage of various rhetorical features such as understatement, irony, and rhetorical questions. Throughout the first paragraph, Lord Chester repetitively uses understatements to establish a tone of sympathy. By acknowledging that parental advice is often“ascribed to the moroseness, the imperiousness, or the garrulity of old age” in lines 3 to 8, Chesterfield seeks to build an illusion of understanding with his son, setting the scene to present his assertions in disguise of friendly advice.
He had 20 different personalities, all varying quite differently. John does not remember much from his childhood, but in his therapy sessions he would switch to his other personalities and in those he would recollect the abuse he had when he was a child. He would switch to a ten year old boy, named Eduardo, who could remember being pushed down the stairs, Hans who was abused with electricity, Eugene who had no emotions or could not feel pain but could explain more in depth the abuse he went through. He even had a personality for all the sexual abuse, yet John, has no memory of any of this himself. Because of the different personalities, John struggled with a normal life.
John had a problem with fighting and petty thievery; he wasn’t what you would call a nice kid. He bullied the kids that were different and smaller in size.

He then rips the paper, changing his mind about confessing to a false accusation. This angers everyone else, but John doesn’t care. He knows what is right and tries his best to do
One of Johnny's most important accomplishments was saving the little children from the burning church. Johnnys parents are abusive, his mother verbally and his father physically.
They continued a flawed and sad relationship for many years past the point of recovery and ultimately paid the price for it with Kathy’s suicide. Issues such as fear and dishonesty both consciously and unconsciously began and persisted from the beginning to the end. John developed mental issues after his father committed suicide, one of the results of these issues was that John has metaphorical mirrors in his head that deflect and protect him from the truth (65-66). When undesirable things happen in his life, he tried to bury and
(112) Sheldon rapidly changes the conversation to an irrelevant situation of his friend to take the pressure off him. He uses the deception avoidance language “ a type of deception to avoid revealing troublesome information” (McCornack and Ortiz)(page 127) and change to topic to his friend Dr. Hofstadter carnal allure, how his other friends Wolowitz misuse university resources to built a six-breasted gender robot, his other friend Koothrappali remark about Mrs. Davis referring to her as a brown sugar to avoid being “persecuted” for being called into the human resource office because of the complaint that was brought up against him. (paaaaammmmmiiiiieeeee). Though out the entire movie clip Sheldon conveys a lot of information using nonverbal communication.
Conduct turns into a method for correspondence. According to this theory, John was not behaving agitated or annoyed intentionally. He was just trying to communicate through his behaviour.

When I went to calm down John whilst he was passing all kinds of verbal abuses towards Susan, I realised that my smile had an effect on John in a positive way.
