    knew, we were going over the bump that goes up my driveway. We both woke up and got out of the car so she could walk me up to my front door. It was very awkward because her parents were watching our every move. We said we would see each other after spring break because I was leaving to go to Florida. Then we gave each other one of those super awkward side hugs and she left. I watched her as she drove away which made me sad because I never imagined things to go so well and to see it all end so fast

    affect the characters and how they might act with each other. The first party is at Tom’s house. Toms place was a rather more boring formal party, we see how the characters don't interact with each other as much, and if they do its more rather in an awkward way. When compared to Gatsby’s extravagantly awesome parties, Tom’s parties are really simple and not attracting. We can see a contrast here of the newly rich and the already established wealthy people ; where the newly rich constantly spend their

    the occasional spill, but in the embracement of their individual quirkiness, especially in the social sense. Jennifer Lawrence's outbursts of laughter, inhuman noises, and wrinkling of the face in interviews all reaffirm the universality of “the awkward age”, the years when one is no longer a child but still not properly grown up. However, the glorified use of awkwardness as an extension of immaturity instead of a compromise for inelegance can be more confining than progressive because the practice

    do this. In addition, the way he describes her makes me imagine that it is a regal and important moment. In the play, however she does a little dance after he kisses her hand, which to me seemed like she was acting inappropriately and taking away the importance of the moment. It is almost as if she was undermining what the warrior had done. She made what should have been a serious and honorable moment and turned it into a joke. Even though Antony loves Cleopatra his rational side takes over when he

    Humans have several ways of communicating with one another, whether that is written, spoken, facial expressions, or through body language. We use all of these forms all the time, it would be impossible to live a day without speaking, writing or reading, making facial expressions, or using any body language to communicate with others.

    I know I felt awkward, I can’t imagine how she felt in front of me. She actually did scoot over a little bit. If someone stood facing me I would also try to turn a little bit to avoid eye contact or accidental body touching. I think everyone else realized what I was doing and had kind of confused looks on their faces. To make it even more awkward I stared around the elevator just observing the people. The woman did react the way

    day of class, Mr. Ostransky came in and told a cheesy joke and just smiled at us. He knew all of our names without asking us. Being both intriguing and awkward, I realized he would be a valuable teacher for me to have. “This would be the class that forced me to think,” was my immediate thought. Interestingly enough, the times of laughter and awkward silences or all the Sunday afternoons I spent sitting under a tree are not what I remember the most. It is all of the cultural windows we spent so much

    I always expected myself to be a cool, sophisticated, James Bond-like boy who always knew the right things to say; but in reality I was an awkward Vietnamese-immigrant boy with a massive communication problem. All my life, I’ve been the quiet kid who thoroughly enjoyed being by himself. In elementary school, I was able to evade any questions about why I would never talk; for one, I had no grasp of the English language until the third grade. However, by the time I entered middle school, English was
