Communcating without Sound


                                                                                                                                                                

The show that I choose to watch is a show that my children watches on the Disney Channel called “Austin & Ally”.  It appeared that the characters had good relationships based on their nonverbal, characters were smiling and two characters hugged.  The interesting thing is, I had no idea what they were talking about, but found myself smiling because they were smiling.  I could tell when someone made an off the wall comment from the expression of the other character’s face.  I assume the characters were good friends trying to help another friend out.  I do believe my assumptions would have been more correct had I have known the show well.  A perfect example of this is my addiction to soap operas.  I could go for a couple of days without watching and still can quickly figure out what’s going on.

  1. I think that I had the same issue as far as trying to figure out what they were talking about throughout the show. I didn't know the relations of any characters in the show I just assumed they were married or related or good friends. Once I finally watched the show I found out that they were siblings. I was so confused, and just like you watching soap operas its easier to connect together but a show you have no clue about it's hard to fill in the blanks. Thanks for your post!
