The most interesting section of the book was the section
covering Object Language. This section initially caught my attention because it
was more abstract, in my opinion, than the other sections leading up to it. The
idea that the objects that we display, own, or reference in our communication
have some reflection back upon us is interesting, and yet disturbing at the
same time. I find it difficult enough to keep track of the flow of my message,
the audience, engaging the audience, keeping from miscommunicating verbally,
nonverbal communication, but now I also need to keep track of how the objects I
interact with will also be interpreted? This seems a bit farfetched to my
untrained eye. However, I’ll give the book the benefit of the doubt in that
there is some relation. After some consideration and reading the section, I
felt comfortable that only those who are educated in these object languages,
will ever take them into consideration to begin with. Perhaps I should re-read
this section at a later date and see if it makes more sense to me then.
