Communication

For the assignment I chose the show: Gilmore Girls

What do you think the characters' relationships are based on the ways in which they are communicating?

Based on the way the older women was communicating to the younger women it seemed to be a mother/ daughter situation.

 What are they feeling and expressing based on the nonverbal behavior you are observing?

I thought the mother character was angry about something with regarding to her daughter.

Now, watch the show with the sound turned on.

What assumptions did you make about the characters and plot based on the ways in which you interpreted the communication you observed?

I was correct about the relationship being a mother/daughter. I was not correct regarding the mothers being angry with the daughter; she was more concerned with helping her daughter with figuring out a way to tell her dad something that may upset him.

Would your assumptions have been more correct if you had been watching a show you know well?

Yes, my assumption would have been more correct if it was a show that I knew, because I most likely have seen it before, and I have an idea of the characters and some of the struggles that they may be going through.
