Comments by Mariah Velez Most recent public comments by Mariah Velez https://nowcomment.com/users/30777 He pauses in most of the sentences he reads, even when there is a comma in the sentence. He sounds like he questions what the sentence says when he reads a sentence, making it sound believable. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=745300 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=745300 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 17:03:47 -0400 He gives a lot of emphases in his words, and would raise his voice on certain parts of the sentence https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=745299 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=745299 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 17:02:31 -0400 I feel like when he was reading, he was doing many faces, and maybe jestures to make sure that he could get a better voice https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=745297 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=745297 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 17:00:52 -0400 She would go back and forth in speaking in third and first person. She would talk about her thoughts and she would also talk about what was around her https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=745296 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=745296 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:58:00 -0400 She speaks like she's telling a story, like she is talking about the past. I think it's her past and what she saw in her eyes https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=745295 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=745295 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:56:36 -0400 She would pause on certain words, giving emotion in them like they were to have meaning behind them https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=745294 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=745294 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:55:14 -0400 Hid voice makes it sound like he doesn't really care, like he was just talking to an old friend and they would just listen https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=745293 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=745293 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:49:20 -0400 During some sentences, he would really pause when he finished a sentence, and he would know when to raise his voice on certain words https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=745292 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=745292 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:47:52 -0400 He has a calm, mellowed way of speaking, like he would be a really good narrator https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=745291 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=745291 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:46:24 -0400 There was a lot more stuff you couldn't do during a presentation, but most of what the video said made sense since you want to make a good impression in what you are presenting https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=743771 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=743771 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 14:02:57 -0400 I think in most situations you should wear proper clothing, but I wouldn't go overboard if it's not for an interview https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=743770 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=743770 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:59:51 -0400 I don't think you should really carry anything when you present something, you should already know what you are saying because you made your slides yourself https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=743766 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=743766 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:58:37 -0400 Kinda felt like this was a video to help seniors with their senior project presentations, but I think it's very helpful about what he's saying https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743762 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743762 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:53:15 -0400 People have different points of views when looking at the same thing, and speakers try to get others to see their point of view and giving them ideas that they normally wouldn't even think about https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743756 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:49:16 -0400 By what people say, they get the feeling that they are also the same as when they describe something to them, like if they see a kitten they'd want to pet it. It's like having them experience what the speaker is describing and agreeing https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743750 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743750 (if that makes sense) Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:47:12 -0400 The speaker is trying to get their audience to get an idea of what they are saying, to sync their minds and get their point of views straight https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=743736 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 13:42:53 -0400 "Shakespeare is being spoken in every country" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76175?scroll_to=737915 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76175?scroll_to=737915 I agree with what he is saying, since Shakespeare was the first person to make up words that made sense to humans. I think what he means by saying everyone is speaking shakespeare is because his words are still being used today by almost everyone around the world Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:37:37 -0400 "Shakespeare affects the right side of your brain" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76175?scroll_to=737909 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76175?scroll_to=737909 It's interesting to hear that there was a study that occurred in an university that was learning about Shakespeare and how it could help improve your brain. It went to explain about how fast someone could learn in words or give a thought, and reading Shakespeare could help really improve the speed and understanding of many different words Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:32:45 -0400 "I thought I was going to be a painter" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76175?scroll_to=737900 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76175?scroll_to=737900 It's interesting that someone who hasn't heard about Shakespeare, who wanted to be a artist/painter would suddenly be interested in Hamlet, and have that one play change his life Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:18:04 -0400 "You can talk about these with students" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=737894 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=737894 I understand that teachers would want their students to learn more about Shakespeare and his language, but I personally think to not, since it's more about the plot rather than the words he speaks in the plays that really give them meaning Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:14:32 -0400 "Knowing about foreign lands, mostly through books" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=737890 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=737890 I agree that Shakespeare's plays has given the audience a different perspective, since people were used to fantasy books, but with Shakespeare, it's real life events, like something that would happen in real life rather then from someone's imagination Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:09:30 -0400 "That gives them a little bit of difference" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=737886 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=737886 I agree that Shakespeare's plays that involve war, race, ethnics, etc. would help students sort of understand the differences or similarities to what happened in the past during his time and what's happening now in ours Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:05:42 -0400 "We reckon he made up about 1700 words" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=737878 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=737878 I was surprised when I heard that he made over 1700 words, just by having Shakespeare make them up. I'm even more shocked that people would still use many of them to this day, and I agree that he was a very important person in creating the more modern english language Tue, 18 Apr 2017 12:56:56 -0400 It sorta doesn't matter, what exists is the plays. Whoever wrote them was obviously quite clever https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=737865 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=737865 I'm agree but also disagree with what he's trying to say. I would personally want to know who was the original writer was if it wasn't Shakespeare who wrote them, but I also wouldn't care since the plays are what mattered, and that they were great for many people to watch still to this day Tue, 18 Apr 2017 12:49:13 -0400 "He's got a way of getting to the nub of what it is to be a human being and he says it better than anyone has ever done since" https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=737846 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=737846 I agree to what he's saying, since Shakespeare has made up so many words that we still mostly use today in modern days. It was like he knew that his words would be understandable to human beings, making him a very important and intelligent person Tue, 18 Apr 2017 12:58:11 -0400
