1. J.K. Rowling’s initial description of her hero Harry Potter is anything but heroic; in the first book of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Rowling describes Harry’s odd appearance in great detail to emphasize his uniqueness. “Harry had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair, and bright green eyes. He wore round glasses held together with a lot of Scotch tape because of all the times Dudley had punched him on the nose. The only thing Harry liked about his own appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead that was shaped like a lightning bolt.” (Rowling 20)

2. Annie Dillard writes that she got the idea for her essay “Living like Weasels” when she was out walking, and she inadvertently "startled a weasel that startled me, and we exchanged a long glance." (58)

3. When Elizabeth reveals that her younger sister Lydia has unexpectedly eloped with Wickham, Mr. Darcy drops his customary reserve, “'I am grieved, indeed,' cried Darcy, 'grieved — shocked'” (Austen 295).

4. At first, Juliet has doubts about their elopement. She tells Romeo that “Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight./ It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden” (2.2.117-8). Juliet’s hesitation illustrates her impressive foresight, since she is able to see the possible consequences of their hasty actions.

5. Throughout the story, Atwood contrasts “Canadian” with “American” through the characters of Lois and Lucy. For example, “Lucy was from the United States where comic books came from, and the movies.” (Atwood 272)

6.   Jane reveals the depths of both her loyalty and her misery by secretly pining for Rochester, as is evident when she declares that she “could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me” (Brontë 252).

7. At first Mrs. Ramsey finds Mr. Tansley annoying, especially when he mentions that no one is going to the lighthouse (52). However, rather than hating him, at this point she feels pity. "She pitied men always as if they lacked something" (85).

8. Throughout the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Scout admires her father for his quiet strength “It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.” (Lee 64)

9.      “I wandered lonely as a cloud,/ That floats on high o'er vales and hills,/ When all at once I saw a crowd,/ A host, of golden daffodils” ( ll. 1-4) is the innocuous beginning to Wordsworth’s brief meditation on the potency of remembered joy and its life-giving qualities.

10.   As the poem draws to an end, Dickinson refers to the power of the imagination, “The revery alone will do,/ If bees are few” (l. 4).

When a client’s remaining problems are better treated by a support group, being a therapist
how are you going to terminate a session.
and Formulate an intervention plan for the client along with rationale of each technique applied.
Case 1:
The client is a 43-yearold female. She is the eldest of 5 children and was raised in a large urban city.
She is a college graduate, has taught Math and Science in a high school for the past 4 years, and tends
to pour all of her energy in her students, which often causes a strained relationship with her own
children. She is divorced from her husband of 5 years; the divorce was very much opposed by her
parents and family. She has complaints of insomnia, not eating properly, frequent unexplained crying
spells, depression and lack of concentration. She has sought help from some Maulvi sahib, co-workers
and her mother. Other important information includes the fact that she took care of her brothers and
sisters growing up because of her parent’s busy schedules. She also describes a dream that she has
had on several occasions:
“I am always running and there are shadowy figures behind me. I am in a large warehouse.
There are boxes marked with arrows reading “Exit”. The arrows are all going in different
directions, therefore I never find my way out and the figures keep getting closer. I wake up in a
cold sweat, breathing rapidly, heart pounding and a scream stuck in my throat”.

You will then find one human to interview. This can be anyone you know or a stranger.

The interview should be conducted in-person or through skype or FaceTime.

The interview should be informal and should focus on any information that you want to learn about your subject. More will be discussed in class about generating interview questions.

Try to think of roughly 10 questions to ask your subject. Focus on aspects of the subject’s life, career, family, future aspirations etc.…

You do not need to record the interview but may take notes.

During the interview you want to pay attention to your subject’s behavior, word choice, and nonverbal messages.

You will then compile all your information and compose an essay that:

Discusses your interview experience from an interpersonal perspective.

You may discuss things such as Self-disclosure, equivocation, conflict, verbal, non-verbal messages etc…

The idea is to give me a sense of how you felt before, during, and after the interview.

Were there any verbal or non-verbal messages that confused you or made you feel relaxed?

Did you or the interview subject use self-disclosure and if so how did it help or hurt the experience?

You may discuss any term, theory, or concept that relates to interpersonal communication.

You do not need to provide direct quotes from the interview or any specific content from the experience. Instead you want to focus the essay on discussing your experience through an interpersonal perspective. Try to work-in/discuss as many terms and concepts from your textbook that relate to interpersonal communication as possible.
