Friday Experience

Not being able to talk on Friday was a great way to see how much talking is involved with our lives. Only using dry-erase boards and charades was very difficult especially when trying to ask simple questions like "may I use the bathroom?" My troublesome experience with this was when everybody was asking why I was not talking. It was very difficult to show what it was for without writing any letters on the board. Then if they figured it out, they would try to make me talk, which was quite a pain. I thought that this related to Postman's quote, "the concept of truth is intimately linked to the biases of forms of expression" which suggests that the truth is different to all people. One person's truth may be another person's lie.
