Why My Misunderstood
Looking back as far as I can remember, certain aspects of my personality have always been misunderstood. These misunderstandings have left people with a false perspective of who I truly am as a person. Amongst the reasons I feel people misunderstand me are, they mistake me mistake my seriousness as comedic, I can come off as intense and pretentious, and I have a different family background. All of these reasons lead me to say that I am typically misunderstood.
To begin, I have always felt that people mistake my seriousness as a joking manner. Reasons for this are that I am often very abrupt in the way I say things. I have always spoken my mind and never sugarcoating anything, this has been a habit of mine ever since I was a young child. Which

    But What Do You Mean By Deborah Tannen Summary

    This is not always true in my encounters. My husband often makes jokes; nevertheless, he will put himself down solely for the entertainment of others. On the other hand, I enjoy joking with friends, but not at my expense. Last April fool’s day I placed a note on the copier that said “Copier is now voice activated, please say NURSE to start coping.” Their reactions were hysterical, and furthermore I did not belittle myself. As such, depending on someone’s sense of humor, men and women will joke with one another in different styles.…

    Character Analysis: The Wanders

    When most people look at me, they don’t always see me. They see a girl. They see a quiet girl who is a big reader. They see a girl who is a hard worker and does well in school. They see the sister of three younger brothers. It’s true. I’m all of these things. I am also much, much more. I am mature in certain matters, and childish in others. I change my personality according to my surroundings, and do not show the world the real me. There are even some things that my family does not know about the real me.…

    Dante's Third Circle of Hell: A Description and Interpretation

    Dante's Third Circle of Hell: A Description and Interpretation

    In Dante's The Inferno, the third circle of Hell is reserved for the gluttonous. After awaking from a faint, Dante soon finds himself in the third circle surrounded by the foul slush. He tells about the black snow falling into the dirty water. Dante also tells of the "stinking dirt that festered there." In this circle lives the three-headed monster Cerberus, ripping and tearing at the sinners as they lie in the sludge. The only soul named in this circle is Ciacco, nicknamed "The Hog." Ciacco was a resident of Florence who was a glutton. He tells Dante that for his offense he lies "rotting like a swollen log," doomed to wallow in the mire and smell the wretched stench for all eternity. Dante, aghast at the putrid-smelling slop, tells Ciacco that the sinner's "agony weighs on my heart and calls my soul to tears." Although he pities Ciacco's condition, he does not hesitate to ask him for information concerning Florence, and it is Ciacco who gives Dante the first political prophecy of The Inferno. Virgil seems to be unmoved by either Ciacco's or Dante's show of feelings. Instead, he takes the opportunity to explain to Dante that as the perfection of judgement nears, both pleasure and pain will become more pronounced. Dante realizes that for the sinners in Hell, this means that the pain of their punishment will become greater. By discussing the foul sludge, the black snow falling, and the putrid scent in the air, Dante shows that those who were gluttonous on Earth will be punished by forever wallowing in the end result of their incontinence, a filthy, stinking pit of…

    Sarcastic Weaknesses

    “It was only long after that I recognized sarcasm as the protest of people who are weak” (22). This quote reflects the idea that people often use humor and sarcasm to camouflage their true feelings. In A Separate Peace, John Knowles explores the cause of this unnecessary yet widely prevalent type of behavior. People use sarcasm to avoid criticism of their real emotions. By avoiding criticism, they also avoid the possibility of negative reactions.…

    Humor and Persuasion

    The actor John Cleese once said, "If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.” (Mortensen, 2004) Humor disarms an audience, making them more likely to open up to you. In a book by Kurt Mortensen, called “Maximum influence: the 12 universal laws of power persuasion”, he stated:…

The ability to show by example how to live life, while not being afraid to make mistakes and not to be perfect all the time are also very important characteristic.…

    Sfr Deming System

    Deming (2016) defined a system as “a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system.” The aim for any system should be everybody gains, not one part of the system at the expense of another. Every aspect of the organisation should work in harmony to achieve a shared aim/vision. Guilfoyle (2014) states it’s essential to understand the aim of the system. In context, the vision of SFRS is “to make Staffordshire the safest place to be” and the vision of SPOL, “keeping our communities safe and reassured.”…

    The Way We See Me

    The way I see myself definitely varies from one degree to another. For instance, I am not at all tactful as I am imaginative. This is another reason why I perceive myself as being slightly quiet. I chose these answers because I know that I like to think a lot to myself and am more observant of others around me than I am of myself. Since I am rather quiet, I haven’t really practiced my communication skills as much as I’d like and thus why I am not very tactful. On a more positive note, I do see myself as extremely imaginative and friendly. I chose to rank myself high on these two because I always try to treat others the way I would want to be treated and was always told that I was extremely curious, imaginative, and artistic as a child. I believe I still am.…
