1. So for part 1 we decided to do it two times and switch so we can both get the full experience of the assignment. So I was the one that decided to speak and my boyfriend was the one that had to use hand movements as the form of communication. I set the timer on my phone for 15 minutes.So I started talking about life and randoms things like what I have set for the next few days, a couple of questions and then I purposely talk fast so he couldn't understand what I was saying. The more I talked fast the more hand movement he used, he kept singing the stop sign time finally went up. It was my turned to stay quite and use hand movements and his turned boy I was scared I thought he was going to annoy me and I was right. He kept talking about guy stuff like cars, video games, and business. It was hard not to say anything and keep mouth shut its funny cause he doesn't talk that much I always talk more so to be quiet was difficult for me luckily I was able to move my hands so I kept on signal the stop sign and I was pretending to choke myself to example how done I was and that I wanted to talk he just kept laughing at me. I found this assignment to be hard because personally I’m an outgoing person and I like to talk a lot ever since I was elementary, I would always get in trouble in school for being a chatterbox. So being quite for 15 took its toll me I wanted to say something so bad but I had to cover my mouth. Being able to talk since you were young and not really using too much hand communicates as we did in this assignment we both can agree we did have to alter the way we talked since we weren't able to use our voices we had to use our hands to communicate and describe how we are feeling without saying a word.

2. I was in control in the conversation,I was the one that initiated all conversations and went from talking about school to what's your favorite toppings on a pizza. He was the one that tried changing subject,sometimes I understood what he was trying to express in his hand movements but other times I couldn't quite get what he was trying to express. I definitely was the one that asked all the question since I was able to talk and he understood everything I was saying I’m the one that had the power in the conversation because I was able to talk and I didn't have to use my hands to communicate and for the first time he had to be quiet and actually listen to what I have to say and he couldn’t say a word which I enjoyed a lot because I had the control and he couldn't say a word to me

3. I believe that culture that was able to communicate using their mouth and speak would have the advantage in communicating with their population because verbal conversation you can hear you could understand it without having trouble whereas if you could only use hand movements as your source of communicating it would be more difficult if don't understand the other person hand movements. For example, there was a population of 100 people and the king is having a meeting with his people, the people would understand what he says cause he is verbal he wouldn't have to struggle with hand movements. Another example is there is a person a mile away and their backs are towards you and you can yell and say " hey"or “stop”. Whereas if we are in the same scenario and there the only form of communicating was hand movements the person in front would never turn around. The attitudes of the speaking culture vs the symbolic culture is they could judge and make fun of the symbolic culture cause they aren't able to talk verbally as they can.yeah, funny story as I'm here at Starbucks writing this there is a group of older ladies and they're talking another language and although they can speak and don't need to use hand language I still don't have any idea of what they could be talking about.

4. So part two it was hard because we couldn't move we were practically just sitting on the couch like robots. My experience to this experiment was a bit difficult. We were talking about going out this weekend and when one of us spurred up an idea that we liked we tried hard not to smile or open our eyes in excitement or even raise our voice and yell “yes” to a great idea.

5. Overall this experiment results showed us that using hand signals are also important because it's another way to express how you're feeling for example if I don't say anything but you can see it on my face and I cross my arms you can atomically indicate that I’m mad. After doing this experiment I can see that using your hands or facial expression is very important and works very effectively because you can see it in a person's face what their mood is you can see it in their hands movements what they're mood the type of information I can receive when I see a person telling me something but their body language is completely different is when they're lying or maybe trying to hide something.

6. I think the great benefits of being able to read somebodies body language us we can indicate the person mood even if they say the opposite of what their mood is. Being able to read body language can help a person to survive is for example we you watch a movie or one the those crimes shows and it involves a swat team trying to break in a house of a drug dealer they don't talk they use hand signals to communicate with their teams so no one get hurt or caught and they can get the bad guy under arrested.

7. I Personally believe there are people who have a difficult for people to read body language because In part 1 of the assignment when my partner couldn't talk and had to use his hand I couldn't quite understand what he was trying to express. There was one time me and my friend were taking a class for English and she was across the room from me I saw her doing hand movements trying to tell me something but I couldn't understand and I was trying to give her hand movements back and she couldn't understand me either fast forward when we were done she waits for me outside to tell me “ I was signal for you to tell me if question one was true or false”.
