Four ways that nonverbal communication can be used when speaking in public:
- Facial expressions (they are involuntary, unconscious and are tied to emotions)
- Body language for example: cross arms or legs, move or shake hands, etc
- Eye contact to show that you are paying full attention and not evading the other person.
- The way you are dressed for the occasion, that is to say, casual or careless for example for business.
Historical fiction and biography are two genres that might appear very similar at first, but that are in fact quite different. Historical fiction, as the name describes, is fictional. This means that it does not describe facts or provable events. While it is based on history (hence the term "historical"), it does not claim to recreate history. An example of historical fiction would be <em>Outlander</em>, by Diana Gabaldon. On the other hand, biographies are based on the life of a person who lived in the past. These are mostly factual and are based on research of events that happened and people that did exist. Therefore, these more closely resemble reality.
When Dana returns to the past and gets closer to Weylin's house, she feels at home.
Explanation:
- Kevin is a progressive man. In the 1970s, when casual racism was still common in the United States, he saw racial equality as mandatory and was shocked and surprised by the prejudiced beliefs of other people. He married a black woman over the objections.
- Because he is a white man, he is not exposed to the kind of horrors that Dana, a black woman, must confront. And because he can be self-involved and insensitive, Kevin doesn’t make it his business to understand these horrors.
- Kevin’s experiences in the South suggest that only the most extraordinary members of any ruling class can fully empathize with oppressed members of society.
