"Tales of Mere Existence" Observation

After watching the video, you can see how each person is. The mom is very stubborn and insistent on her opinion, and the son is just laid-back as if it has happened numerous times before. The mom doesn't seem to listen as the son tells her his opinion. The second time you watch it, you are able to see how the mom uses facts to try and get the son to eat the tuna. She says things like "Healthy people eat fish" to get him to try it. He still refuses. The son appears to be listening, but he also acts as if it happens all the time (her nagging him, that is). Observing how people talk, their actions as they talk, and what they say things helps us imagine what kind of person they are. Once you find out how a person is, you can see how certain things would affect them and how you could relate to them. Since I am a shy and reserved person, I observe people everyday. Doing this, I am able to see how each person is, and how they treat others and if I feel like I could get along with them. It's kind of like when you watch a fish in a tank. You can see the way it swims with the space it has. You can see if it hides in the ship or if it just swims through it. You are able to see how the fish acts in it's surroundings. Observation is a good tactic at finding out information you might not have seen otherwise.
