The first story I have chosen was "Popular Mechanics" in which I will be focusing on the character and the language. It starts with a woman is screaming at it seems to be her significant other. As she continues to yell the male character with profanity language he ignores her and he keeps on packing his cloths simulating he is leaving her." I'm glad you're leaving! I'm glad you're leaving! She said. Do you hear? (123)". He doesn't pay attention to her so she screams at him saying son of a bitch to see if he pays attention to her. Further on she mentions how she's glad he is leaving, but why would she want him to leave if they have a baby together? When these dysfunctional communication start to occur what people want to do as an individual is try to catch the other persons' attention anyway.
