Week 2

Duck Dynasty

No Sound

I observed laughter, smiling, and close interaction with a small group of people, hunting, and working in some type of warehouse.

The interactions between the characters varied but for the most part looked like they enjoyed each other’s company. The show looks like funny acts are taking place, and common livelihoods are being depicted.

Each of the family member talk to each other looking and expressing emotions through facial expression. At the end of the episode all of the characters ate at the same table.

This episode of Duck Dynasty was hilarious. This is a family owed business that even the workers who are not family are adopted family. The family interacts well with each other and expresses using language that is not offensive and is funny to each other. Each member has a good rapport with each other, and each has their own role within the family. The dad is the CEO of the duck call making company and their family is very different from the lifestyle they grew up in. The teenage sons are verbally challenged by technology and the teenage daughter relies on texting for all communication. Even communicating through text when she is in the same room with the person. I love that even though they give each other a hard time and joke with one another they are all able to communicate to one another how important family is to each of them. I actually thought from the characters appearance that they would communicate with very little skill or sensitivity. That was not the case. Even with the southern accent the characters were able to communicate effectively.
