A Wrinkle In Time Analysis

Communication takes place in any and all locations, intentionally and unintentionally, and it can be positive or negative. Many of our personal traits and character qualities can affect how we communicate with other people, and how they communicate with us. Recently, I had an experience that further proved this point to me in a very real and tangible way.

Communication isn’t just about talking. There are so many different elements to communicating in society. How a person gestures, the tone in an individual’s voice, an expression on a person’s face, how a person listens is all a part of communicating. As we all know, in order to communicate with one another we must be able to listen. I think in society people think that communication is all about speaking but in reality it is just a little piece to a bigger picture. In today’s society, listening seems to be a skill that is being neglected. Even though it is basically the first communication skill that we are exposed to, we have pushed it aside and chose speaking to dominate our lives. Researchers have discovered that fetuses can process incoming sounds during the last trimester of pregnancy, and that by 12 months children have learned sounds of and rules of their native language(Worthington, 3). This shows that children’s abilities to speak, read, write and reason are influenced highly by how well they are taught to listen. As parents we can all be teachers to our children so that they can grow up to be well-rounded communicators.

Communication is one of the most important things we learn throughout life. Communication is the ability to transfer

As we began to watch the movie “A Wrinkle in Time,” we found many differences such as, at the beginning of the story Meg has a flashback of her father unlike in the book. This is an example of the directors not following the story line. As she has this flashback it is foreshadowing her and Charles Wallace finding their father. Another example of the director not following the original story line is in the movie “A Wrinkle in TIme,” they show Mrs.Murray looking up the tesseract unlike in the book. This also is showing foreshadowing because Meg see that her father is stuck in the tesseract the thing her mom was looking up. So, now she knows why she hadn’t seen her father in a five or six years.

Effective communication is important as verbal interaction is needed to integrate as this allows people to hear tone of voice, see their body language, and whether or not they maintain eye contact. All of these things help us to see if what has been said to someone or asked whether or not it has been understood or respected. Also, a person’s body language and eye contact can tell us how they feel about us when we ask them to do something. Our style of speech needs to be adjusted depending upon the age of the person we are talking to, as we can’t talk to adults as we would children as this would be seen as disrespectful. We also need to actively listen so that we can build trust within all groups. This is so that if any safeguarding or any

In a society it is essential to have effective communication skills, without those things can be very difficult. When you say communication people tend to generally just think about verbal communication and while speaking and listening is a large portion of what communication is it is a lot deeper than that and some people believe some of the other aspects like body language and facial expressions to be even more important in the maintaining of effective communication skills than forms of verbal communications.

“Time Passages” is a song from the album of the same name performed by Al Stewart, and released in 1978. Stewart was born in Scotland, and eventually moved to London to pursue his musical career. During this time, contemporary folk music was establishing itself as a popular genre of music. This style of music used modal melodies to create a meditative mood. The lyrics meld with the tones to bring you into a harmony of thoughts with the songwriter. “Time Passages”, co-written by Al Stewart and Peter White, exemplifies this by matching the music with the message. For this reason, it is no surprise that when it was released, the song climbed to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and stayed 10 weeks at number 1 on the Easy Listening chart. “Time Passages” is a snapshot of an elderly man who accepts the fact that his time is at an end, and finds it difficult to live in the present.

Cauleen Smith is an artist who creates works of art that are based in the now, thus it is called Contemporary Art. She uses contemporary materials such as video recordings to create a narrative that evokes conversation. One such work is the film, which she created around the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. The work is called The Fullness of Time, and was created in 2008. She emphasizes the massive destruction that was caused by placing “herself” (in the from of an actress) in settings where the destruction was the most devastating, as well as demonstrating the severe isolation and vulnerability of human beings. See Figure 1 for a demonstration of how she visualized such vulnerability.

Communication is an essential tool needed to advance several major processes in society. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, communication is the act or process of using words, sounds, songs, or behaviors to express your ideas, thoughts, and feelings to someone else. Such interaction between human being is significant due to the innate fact that we as humans are social beings. Communication not only aids human beings in expressing ideologies, but in everyday duties such as education, work, medical care, and other key aspects. A lack of communication is dangerous in many circumstances. In two essays, “When Doctors Make Mistakes”, by Atul Gawande, and “Columbia’s Last Flight, by William Langewiesche the reader can perceive how a lack of communication can be lethal.

In his 1945 study, Ray Ehrensberger states an orator must “First tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ‘em; then tell ‘em; finally, tell ‘em what you told ‘em” (p. 102). Wallace opens with an ironic analogy which, in itself, contains the “kernel of truth” he is trying to communicate. A young fish asks another “What the hell is water?” (Wallace, 2008, para. 1) This scenario is chosen purposefully because it is simple and relatable, which enables Wallace to present a new perspective on a familiar concept. Wallace later explains that point of the story is that “the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are the hardest to see and talk about,” (Wallace, 2008, para. 2) and repeats this thesis throughout the speech. In the last few lines of his speech, Wallace again states his message in simple terms of the importance of awareness. He reminds the audience that awareness of what is “so hidden in plain sight around us” (Wallace, 2008, para. 11) is essential and that we

Communication is key for us. It builds friendship and trust, it helps guide us into living better and calms us down. That’s why communication is so very essential for

Speech, language and communication play a vital role in our lives. Without being able to talk to, and understand other people we can’t do things alike: Almost everything we do involves speech, language and or communication

Communication is a two way process which allows us to express our thoughts and feelings to others, while allowing us in turn to understand what others are trying to convey to us. Communication involves speech and language (verbal) as well as facial expression, gesture and body language (non-verbal). Communication is an essential life skill for children and young people and it underpins their social, emotional and educational development. (Bercow 2008)

This will cause difficulties with relationships and will have a damaging influence on their social development. If children are full of anger, anxiety, frustration or fear, they need to express this. Talking about feelings is just as important as talking about ideas. Children who cannot explain or put into words show signs on how they feel often by throwing temper tantrums or show other kinds of challenging behaviour. Language and communication support behaviour by enabling young children to demonstrate these aspects of acceptable and positive behaviour. These are being fairly independent, being realistically self-controlled, having some understanding of the needs and rights of others, participating in group activities, making friends with other children, and meeting the challenge of new experiences without too much anxiety. These are to help social development. Also effective communication is not just about conversations with young children. It also involves children being able to understand and use the language of learning. This is to understand concepts, participate in problem-solving and develop ideas and opinions. This is to help intellectual development (Children and Young People’s Workforce Cache level 3).

Communication is a part of everyday life. Not only is it present in our personal lives, but in the
