Expressive Language
When it comes to live expressions are everything. Anyone, and everyone can tell what a person is feeling by the way they express themselves. Many people are judged without really knowing the person based on how they express their feelings and express themselves to the public. Expression is used to show the reader or the other person how you are feeling at the moment. Expression is a good thing for the most part because it is giving people insight on what an individual is feeling. However, expressions have its negativities also. For example, there was a really good basketball coach named Bob Knight. While he was coaching he was the all time leader in wins as a coach, but he was also known for his short temper. One time the official blew the wrong call, and it cost his team the ball. He got so upset that he took the chair he was sitting in and threw it onto the court. He continued to run onto the court to yell at the referees. Bob Knight let his emotions have the best of him and he expressed in emotion in a very negative manner that gave him a really bad image to everyone in the world. The way someone expresses their emotions are really important, because an individual is often judged by the emotions they are showing.

I think that in some cases its good to show emotions through expressions and in other cases its not good at all. Bob Knight was one of the greatest basketball coaches to ever coach, but his expressions of his emotions is what helped build his reputation so much. Although the actions he made may not have reflected him so well, he was still a prestigious basketball coach and his coaching skills are still recognized to be the reason why his team was so good.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that expressions are a great form of putting yourself out there with others. Expressions show your feelings and lets others get to know how you are and what you want. But as you say, you should also be very careful in the form you express your feeling and thoughts. I know that I was once short tempered and I learned the hard way to control my anger. I made the mistake of yelling at a friend in front of his sister and things got out of hand with my friends family. Although I had every right to yell at him, his sister didn’t understand why I was being so angry.
