"Speaking Without Words"

There are so many ways to express yourself to others and not only verbally. I can not relate to Mr. Dara as he communicates through playing music with his guest’s, but I can compare some other forms of communication that I experience. When I am with my family, one of our major forms of communicating is when we are cooking together. We see how each other cooks different and we express ourselves through the different foods we cook. We are also always learning from each other through our cooking. By tasting what one another makes and showing them how much we like their cooking by how much we eat. I don’t even need to tell my older sister how good her cooking is because the way I eat her food she already knows. She reads me like a book when she wants feed back. We hardly ever have left over’s. Another thing, have you ever seen the way Argentineans communicate, sometimes all that you can ever get out of the conversation besides the word “Che” is their hand gestures. In my family, it seems like most of the talking is done with their hands. I’ll admit it is contagious because it is something that has already got me doing. One time I heard an Argentinean say, “If you were to tie an Argentineans hands behind his back, then you will not get a conversation out of him.” That is one statement that is so true. Another way that my sister and I really communicate is through shopping. We love shopping together so much that, it is mostly body language and we can hardly get a word in. Like trying on cloths, getting a thumbs up on certain things because we get so caught up in our shopping that we the words don‘t come out. By the end of the day we tell each other how happy we are to have one another. I then think to myself, we didn’t even have to do much coversating to have such a good time. We simply showed how much fun we have with each other. Also singing together is another thing that we are always doing. My sisters and I sing in the car all the time. We begin to start singing and the trip is over and none of us got a word in, but we all had a blast. We communicated through the music and it is as if the music did all the speaking to one another, without us having to tell each other anything. Our dancing also tells things to each other, especially when we are just fooling around. We make each other laugh and we didn’t have to say anything. There are so many ways to communicate and most of us are doing it everyday without words. Many times our actions tend to speak louder than words. I am not in a relationship, but I do know that when you kiss that special someone it can say so much. By that touch on the lips, it may have told them more then what you could have said in words. I rather show someone how I feel about them, then tell them. I am always communicating through so many different ways and I try to always show what I mean more, than say it
