Purpose Write a response that evaluates a group discussion. Assignment Prompt In this assignment, you will have a discussion with at least two peers. Your discussion will be planned on a topic that all participants have researched. You will then write an evaluation of your experience of planning, speaking, and listening. You will complete the assignment by submitting your response.

For this discussion, I felt very prepared. I used both background knowledge and internet research to prepare. The rules created for the meeting were pretty simple: ‘You may not interrupt when one person is talking, You cannot use profanities or vulgar language, and always follow the assigned topic.’ It seemed as though all of these rules were followed, although there needed to be more of them. Some of these being: ‘Do not start talking unless called upon,’ and ‘Use only formal and academic language.’

I feel like I stated my viewpoint clearly and correctly. I also think I was respectful to the other members and responded to their claims in an academic way, using academic language. When stating my claim, I used evidence from a credible internet article, citing the source, and giving the author credit. Other members used evidence from books and videos; they also gave credit to the authors. One of these members had a different viewpoint than mine. I again used evidence to support my claim and argue for it and against the other. When talking, I used the correct language instead of slang. For example, instead of using words like ‘tons’ and ‘heaps,’ I used words like ‘many’ and ‘large quantities.’

When speaking to other members, I made eye contact consistently with each member. I also used appropriate hand gestures to make my point more exciting and draw the other members’ attention.

Overall, the group discussion was sufficient at solving the problem. If there were more rules in place, it would be more effective. Since there was a varying amount of members, we were able to come up with a solution.

Explanation:

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
