What if everyone in the world was exactly alike? What if everyone talked the same, acted the same.

The world would be extremely dull! I believe it’s important to accept people for who they are.

Differences are important and they should be respected.

Picture one and two both shows Ian having body language communication with Toula. The first

picture illustates honor and joy while the second picture shows shame and sadness. The

difference in these two pictires lies on the preceeding events. In the first picture, Ian has just seen

a smilling Toula and is impressed that she gave him a positive signal. He is happy and thrilled in

this first picture. This shows honor. The second picture however shows shame. Ian has just been

knocked down by a lady and is sure that Toula has seen it. This makes him feel ashamed and sad.

Picture one and two both illustrate Toula working ath the restaurant. Picture one shows optimism

while pictire two shows disappintment. In all these puctures, Toula is staring at Ian and his

friend. She has been working in the restaurant for a long time and has not attracted a suitor. In

pictire one, Toula is staying at Ian expecting a tip or a greeting. She is so composed and has a

smile in her face. She has some joy and honor in her inside. Picture 2 on the other hand shows a

disappointed Toula. Ian and his friend have just left the restautant without telling her a word as

per her expectations. Her desire is thwarted and is therfore reacting to the exit of Ian and his

friend.

In picture one and picture two, Toula is the centre of interest. The first picture shows

Toula working at the travel agency as a receptionist. In this picture, she looks very professional

and formal as she talks with Ian. Ian has just arrived to make some inquiries at Toula’s desk. At

this point, they have not even known each other into details. All that matters in this first picture

is a professional and formal relationship at Voula’s travel agency. The second picture however

shows a contrast of Toula. She is very jovial and happy. This picture illustrates an informal

response to Ian’s humor at a restaurant. Ian and Toula are already working on a relationship and

the two are so fond of each other. She spends most of the time smiling and feeling good around

Ian. This second picture does not reveal the formal and competent Toula but an informal and

emotionally active lady who is so much in love. The in both pictures, Toula is addressing Ian.

The first picture illustrates a formal and official response while the second picture illustrates an

informal and emotionally free response. The contexts of the two pictures are so different hence

the varying feedback given by Toula.

Both pictures show Toula staring at her father. Ian has come to ask for Toula’s hand in

marriage. In the first pictire, Toula is happy and in a joyful mood expecting her fathers apporoval

of the relationship. She has great anticipation from Mr. Gus. Pictire two however shows a

stranded Toula who does not know whst to do. The father has power over her and has instisted

that Ian will not martry her. She is so fearful as seen in her face.

The first picture shows happy faces full of celebration. They are watching sports and are happy

with the moves that their team is making. This first pictire shows power while the seciond

picture shows fear. They can be seen waving and cheering. They are in a happy mood. Pictire

two on the other hand sows scared people. A ball has just knocked the face of their relative while

playing the game. They are not impressed. It is evident that they are disappointed. In the first

picture, there is fun and hope while in the second picture, there is sadness and disapair becase the

unexpected has happened. Picture one has a mood of joy and honor while pictire two has a mood

of pain and shame. In a honor state, peope are high, cheerful and full of joy as is evident in the

first picture. The second puctire however shows the opposite of honor. Thos pictiure reveals

shame, sidappointment and pain. The ball has hit their relative right in the face. This has brought

pain and shame.
