    How Does Steinbeck Present The Lives Of

    Generally the main characters are George and Lennie, who are, as they are proud to proclaim, different from the others because they have each other. In fact, they are an odd couple, George the sensible, tough yet ultimately caring protector of the ironically named Lennie Small, who is in fact, a huge man who doesn’t know his own strength and is mentally incapable of making the smallest of decisions for himself; he relies on George completely but equally, George needs Lennie as he gives him a reason to keep going. Lennie, despite his lack of intellect, senses this because when he knows George feels guilty for being angry with him, he takes advantage of the moment to manipulate George into repeating the story of their ‘dream future’, especially the rabbits they intend to keep with which Lennie is obsessed.…

    Discussion of the Situational and Developmental Views in a Scene from Titanic

    Interpersonal communication plays a major role in everyone’s daily life. Because it is so important, theorists have developed two views about how to determine whether a transaction is interpersonal or not. We will be looking at the situational and the developmental view by applying it to a scene from a movie in order to determine which one is a better indicator. The particular scene that will be discussed is a scene from James Cameron’s Titanic. The scene takes place the day after Jack sees Rose hanging off the edge of the ship while she debates whether she should jump or not. Jack convinces her not to jump, and she agrees. But, her foot slips and Jack saves her. Her fiancé comes running to see what happened but Rose makes up a story about how she fell over trying to see the propellers. Jack remains silent and goes with the story. This particular scene takes place the day after. Jack and Rose are taking a walk around the ship as Rose thanks Jack for saving her life and not disclosing to her fiancé, mother and everyone else the real story of what happened that night (that she tried to commit suicide). What follows is a conversation that starts off as a very cordial and formal discourse, but as the day progresses their dialogue becomes more and more informal as they get to know each other better.…
