Richard and Emily, Lorelai's parents, are affluent and traditional, valuing social status and adherence to proper etiquette. Despite their love for Rory, their only grandchild, they exhibit a controlling nature, treating her in a manner reminiscent of how they treated Lorelai during her upbringing, which is the main reason why Lorelai rebelled and fell pregnant with Rory at 16. This overbearing behavior becomes increasingly suffocating for Rory, stifling …show more content…

The speakers involved generally understand each other's intended meanings and respond accordingly. This is visible throughout the entire conversation, though heavy between lines 31 – 39. Nonetheless, there are moments of misunderstanding and miscommunication, particularly when Emily and Rory clash over their perspectives on events. This is visible in lines 16 – 33, where each time Rory tries to interject and explain her understanding of the events, Emily and sometimes, Richard, refute her and assert their point-of-views as facts. Cooperative Principle & Grice’s Maxims Moreover, the Cooperative Principle, proposed by Grice, suggests that participants in a conversation strive to cooperate by making their contributions relevant, informative, truthful, and clear (Betti, 2021).

In the novel, Jack mentions his absent father, and thus begins seeing a father figure in Tyler after having lacked strong male models whilst growing up. To the cohort of members in Fight Club feeling effeminate as a result, Tyler concludes that they are a “generation of men raised by women” (PAGE), further nourishing the men’s desire to fight and express their wrath to regain their identities. Due to their upbringing, the men in Fight Club lack a masculine portrayal, and hence idealize Tyler as the sole example of what masculinity should be.

Bring it On: All or Nothing The film I chose to watch is the third installment of the Bring It On series, which are all mostly unrelated stories loosely held together by the thread of cheerleading as a main plot point.

The basic plot is that the lead character, Britney, is the captain of the cheerleading squad at a very white, suburban school called Pacific Vista.

Watching the "Fireproof" movie, I was able to distinguish several interpersonal communication problems between the main characters. Interpersonal communication is the methods by which people get involved in the conversation to exchange message, information, and feelings to each other both verbally and non-verbally(Stewart, 2012). Every individual has their ideas and approaches to communicate to others. Our processes of communication display as our behavior which causes either success or failure in relationships.
