Representations

This last ted talk was really good. The opening itself was different compared to other open sets i have seen. I was really invested in what Aghan had to say in his story. He captured my attention by first interacting with the audience with sound. Just like we spoke in class there is many ways to connect to people while telling a story. Visual,  or noise, interaction and gestures work great.
 As we said, many things can help people draw a batter picture of what someone is explaining or aiming to represent. Just watching him, he was wearing African clothing, which represented his culture. His accent along with the noises he made draws us closer to a better understanding, giving us a clearer picture of what he is telling us. We can get a more precise picture of where he is from, the sounds we may hear, and the type of people that may be there.
 It reminded me of African type of dancing, They use there whole body to describe how they feel and to represent where they came from. It is much different from contemporary dancing where it seems rigid and structure at times. It shows many times how stiff American society can be, which limits expression. Expression no matter what way it is expressed, through words, clothing, or gestures represents who we are as a people and who we are individually. With his expressions it really captures people and draws them into the story painting a clear picture of what he aims to show.
