Wish me luckDOROTHY / barb : Luck(Jerry nods and exits ?They watch as Jerry inches into the crowded airportObscuring their view of Jerry , enters another duad , who embrace and theirsmall daughter says sweet goodbye . We linger on Dorothy and scape as they both watch in close up and think of the kind of goodbye they didn t get They look at each other , communicating volumes . They pull back into trafficDialogue 1 showed that the main character needed her sister s support when she invited Jerry Maguire for the graduation time . By turning to her sister , Dorothy , was looking for some form of validation that what she was about to do is right . Dorothy was also using her sister , decoration as a appear board for her own doubts and fearsThis dialogue relates to the course concept of communication climate Dorothy tells her sister how difficult it is to be a unity pay off .

At the same time , they both had a conflict over their self-concepts . Conflict is subjective , normal , and inevitable in any interpersonal relationship . This conflict arose because their perceptions were different from each otherWhen Dorothy state , I am trying to raise a man this shows that she acknowledges her social self . Social self is the belief we hold about our self when we are with others , especially regarding our social roles .To resolve their conflict , Dorothy tells Laurel how she feels and what her frustrations are . She used I- language to clarify what she wanted to tell Laurel . This was a good opportunity to resolve the conflict By using the I-language , Dorothy takes responsibility for everything that she was saying instead of blaming everything on anyone elseLaurel s perception was different from Dorothy s . She thinks that Dorothy is acting irresponsibly and putting beam at a disadvantage because she invited a man over to her house . But Dorothy knows she is not being commanding , so she told her sister that she knows her role as a exclusive mother . She then compares herself to other women in the same situationAlso throughout this dialogue , both women reveal their emotions Emotions are the feelings that are expressed during interpersonal communication . Laurel is worried about her sister and tries to be protective opus Dorothy struggles with hit motherhood and her desire for more freedom from responsibilityIn the end , Dorothy told her sister , Look at me Laurel , Look at me .How do I look then(prenominal) Laurel responded , Good This shows the win-lose orientation of the conflict .

Dorothy`s communication with her sister Laurel regarding the idea of inviting Jerry Maguire into her house shows how our family members can be major influences on how we perceive ourselvesLaurel presents her reflected appraisal of Dorothy s decision downing it as irresponsible considering that Dorothy is raising a child . Laurel also downs the idea of Dorothy seeing Jerry Maguire , which she refers to him as a drowning man who her sister should not fall forIn the latter part of the excerpt , Dorothy uses a social comparison to show the difference between her devotion to single motherhood and the searchingly reckless abandonment of other single women . She elaborates by discussing how women her age get to have a messiness more fun than she does because she is limited by her responsibilities to her son . excursus from lack of social freedom , she also mentions that she does not have the security of a good , providing husband that other mothers haveDuring the nett part of the excerpt , after ranting about how strong life has been for her and how she looks old for her age , Dorothy seeks Laurel s confirmation on her physical appearance by asking how she looked .

It was a good example of what we learned in our course concept of non-verbal silenceBoth characters did not attempt to speak while they were watching a complete family say goodbye to each other . When they faced each other again , Ray and Dorothy spoke with their eyes . This showed non-verbal silence at work . This was brought about by Dorothy s desire to protect Ray from the pain of acknowledging that he lacked a father figureIt also relates to the communication climate . Ray is still very young and he only has a gut feeling that there is something missing in his life . While Dorothy tries to do her best to ensure a good and happy life for her son , she too , tangibleizes that she does not have the ability to give everything that her son needs .

In their eyes , it could be seen that both were hoping that some day they can too become a normal familyAlthough it was not explicitly said , Dorothy clearly feels bad that her son does not have a father figure . Even though it was not her fault that her husband died , she feels obliged to find a way to fill that void in her son s life . Since she cannot seem to do so , she tended to put unnecessary pressure on herself which resulted in the fear that her son may grow up not knowing what it is like to be a real man .
