Hand Gestures

The hand gestures used during acting is there to display emotion that the character is feeling to the audience  These gestures are a necessity to the audiences because in most cases of play acting there can be phrases with double meanings that can not be deciphered with just the sense of hearing alone. Yet these movements of the hands do not just benefit the audience, it also works in the favor of the actor as well. To put it simply, the gestures help the actor "become" the character physically and mentally to provide an overall more entertaining show.

SSR reflection

During our class time today I read the book Ender's Game. In this book it is evident that there is a constant threat of the "buggers" which are an alien species with the intent and technology to eradicate human kind. Within the context of the first pages of the book an analytical inference (lol) one could make is that the Earth in this book is heavily overpopulated. As evidence to this assumption it is written in the book that each family can conceive a maximum of only two children. I find interest in this book mainly because of the psychological adversity (another lol) the main character goes through and how descriptive the author is on the main character's thoughts, emotions, and reactions towards these adversaries. Another worthwhile interesting fact to mention is that these obstacles are caused by other humans and that they actually feel to some extent guilty of their actions but in the end it is all justified as their actions made Ender into the savoir of the human race.
