The episode “Hush” was the tenth episode in the fourth season. It aired on December 14, 1999. The directors and writers of the show use the voices of the characters in the episode to symbolize their feelings and how they express them. The characters losing their voices is a symbolic representation of how the characters express their feelings towards each other, illustrating that talking is not the only way to communicate. In the episode, Willow and Tara hardly speak to each other, although it is notable that they want to speak to each other. With the Gentlemen taking their voices, the girls come together and become closer without having to speak at all. Without their voices, they come to realize that their only option to communicate is to put their heads together. Despite the fact that Willow and Tara can not verbally talk to communicate, once the Gentlemen are gone and they get their voices back, they begin to speak to each other more and realize that they have more in common than they initially thought. Tara and Willow come together to save their town. Losing their voices helps Tara …show more content…
They are having relationship problems in the beginning of the episode and it is clear that there are communication issues.

Losing their voices helps them make multiple revelations about their relationship. Buffy and Riley realize, after losing their voices, that verbal communication is not the only way to clarify a
The main character in the movie Juno is a 16 year old girl named Juno. She is witty, sarcastic and has a great sense of humor. Surrounded by the falling leaves of autumn, we find Juno drinking “like ten tons of Sunny D” as she decides to take three pregnancy tests to confirm her worst fear. She is pregnant.

With the advice from her friend Leah she searches

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode 410 “Hush,” a group of demon-like creatures known as The Gentlemen take over Sunnydale, stealing the voices of everyone in the town and the hearts of seven random people. At this point in the series Buffy and Willow start college and Buffy meets a boy named Riley, who is a teacher’s aide in their class. During class Buffy has a dream of a little girl holding a wooden box who is singing a cryptic rhyme about The Gentlemen that says things like “Can’t even shout” and “Can’t say a word.” After class Riley tries to get Buffy to tell him about her dream, but she tells him “I’m not saying a word.” The episode then goes to Xander and his girlfriend Anya. Anya is upset with Xander for never asking about how she feels, and tells him “we never talk.” The scenes foreshadow all the characters taking their voices for granted, and becoming overwhelmed when they are misinterpreted. When The Gentlemen steal their voices, it causes them to not be able to talk to each other, making them realize how important communication really is.
In contrast to “16 Candles,” the show focuses almost exclusively on Buffy and her narrative. She is not overshadowed by the stories of the males in the series. In spite of this, Buffy is still implicated in the concept that females must have a male love object to talk about. Buffy and her friend Willow spend a considerable amount of screen time discussing crushes and love interests. Unlike in “16 Candles” though, the love interests discussed in “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer” are often nuanced, not based solely on popularity or physical appearance. Buffy does not always end up with the boy she is interested in and not all of her relationships are perfect, unlike in “16 Candles,” where Sam and Jake mutually like each other and end up together in the
Recently, the class watched the movie “Dan in Real Life” and many people would be surprised just how much of this movie relates to what the class is currently learning about. For example, there is the use of nonverbal communication, the use of interpersonal communication, and the use of many other types of communications that are all found throughout the movie.
The characters within As Good as It Gets demonstrate many common, core communication problems. The main character, Melvin Udall, is shown to be extremely vulgar, uninterested, and suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. He is the main source of conflict within the film. It is hard for others, like other main characters Carol and Simon, to understand Mr. Udall’s routines and style of communication, and they typically seem angry after encounters with Jack Nicholson’s character. The movie also shows the evolution of Mr. Udall’s communication and ways that people viewing the movie could possibly improve their own ways of communication.
Since the beginning of the episode it is evident that there is a lack of communication. As Buffy and Riley walk with each other they never say anything longer than a sentence to each other, they were both holding back which leads to them lying.This shows the struggle they both have to face to have a simple conversation with each other, neither of them say what they really wanted to say. While they are staring into each
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize feelings and judge which feelings are appropriate for a given situation.
The United States has been dealing with the issue of racism ever since Columbus landed on Plymouth Rock. The Indians were the first to endure harsh racism in this country. Pilgrims moving west ran them off their land wiping out many tribes and destroying many resources in their path. However, when many think of racism today, the issue of blacks and whites is the first to come to mind. African Americans have come a long way in today’s society as compared to the society their ancestors had to overcome. But just as far as we have come, there is still a long way we must go. Harper Lee, author of To Kill A Mockingbird, clearly depicts racism and what it was like in the nineteen-thirties through the
The story is of a teenage girl who is chosen to be the next Slayer, endowed with supernatural strength in order to aide her on her quest, because: “In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer”("Welcome to the Hellmouth"). In this series, the Slayer is known as Buffy Summers, and the series follows her as she faces one apocalypse after another, graduating school, dealing with boys and life and death and all the issues that one expects to arise from a coming of age series. What makes Buffy unique is that unlike the rest of the Slayers from the generations before her, she has a collection of friends who help her answer her calling, and together, they create an enthralling cast that keeps the viewers coming back to relive each episode. Feminists have hailed Buffy as being one of the most prominent series that deals with feminist issues and provides viewers with a strong female figurehead; others, however, look at the show with a more critical eye, wondering just what kind of feminism and feminist ideals are being portrayed in the series. This paper will touch upon most of these ideas, yet for now, the focus will be on the character of Buffy herself. .
Interpersonal communication is primarily dyadic, meaning it involves two people. There are examples of this everywhere, from two coworkers who are becoming close friends to two people entering a romantic relationship. Interpersonal communication is all around us, especially romantic relationships. As a result, many of the movies we watch have examples of interpersonal relationships which reflects the ones in our own lives. This paper will highlight the relationship between Wade and Vanessa from the movie “Deadpool,” relate it to the concepts we have learned in class, and illustrate how we can learn from it.
Just how the forces of good organize themselves in each text reveals much about the assumptions about gender roles present in their cultures of origin. Buffy Summers, a teenage girl, is the Vampire Slayer -- "One girl, in all the world, a Chosen One. One born with the. . . the strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of evil" (Giles/Buffy, "Welcome to the Hellmouth") -- and her friends, the so-called Slayerettes, and her Watcher Giles only provide assistance and support. Dracula's Mina is merely a minor -- and weaker -- member of a large group of men, including her husband, who fight in order to protect her. Without doubt, the image of the petite Buffy fighting and killing vampires week after week forces the viewer to recognize her strength and power. Despite her physical passivity in the novel, "sweet-faced, dainty-looking" Mina reveals she too is strong and necessary to the fight against evil, even if in less obvious ways (226). Seward credits Mina's skill in typing and work in compiling hers, Harker's, and his diaries with providing the key without which they "could never have found the dates otherwise" (232). The information she provides while under hypnosis -- visions echoed in Buffy's prophetic dreams ("Welcome to the Hellmouth," "Prophecy Girl," "Surprise," "Innocence") -- makes
I explained to Dr. Hirsch that my primary reason for the interview was to gain insight into the role of a leader within a community college setting and what skills and talents are required to advance in the field. As a High School College Advisor in Philadelphia, I have approximately 40% of students who plan to enroll in a two-year college and I understand the challenges of this student population. Throughout graduate school, I have been drawn to the community college and feel that it could offer me a great start in the field of higher education. Therefore, meeting with Dr. Hirsch provided me with a unique opportunity to learn about the differences between leadership in a two-year college and a four-year university.
Macedonia is a unique country that lies above Greece. Countries in the surrounding area has similar but not the same traditions as them. Christmas is a very religious holiday there because of the major impact the orthodox churches had on the country. Christmas in Macedonia is very different from our traditional Christmas beliefs, ideas, decorations, foods, and events.
