The concept from chapter 5 that was interesting to me was object language. Object language is defined as "all intentional and nonintentional displays of material things, such as implements, machines, art objects, architectural structures, [as well as] the human body, and whatever clothes or covers it." (Trenholm Pg. 133) I choose to discuss this topic because I can relate to it very well. In my room I have various pieces of wall decor that represents me. I am definitely a "girly girl" I have a lot of feminine pieces that are pink and glittery. I also have a lot of pictures of my family, friends and my boyfriend in picture frames because they help define the type of person that I am too.
Another aspect of object language that I closely relate to is the human body. When I get dressed for the day it expresses what type of mood I'm in. If I wear jeans and a shirt and a light jacket I am in a relaxed mood and I want to be comfortable. If I wear sweats and a tee shirt that normally means that I'm lazy or I'm in a bad mood. If I get dressed up I'm in a good mood. I like using clothes to express how I feel.

Object Language is a great concept in chapter 5. I found it really interesting how object language can be used and expressed. I think its great that you are a girly girl and love to be feminine and you take these characteristics with you from your room to school. It just amazes me how we communicate in so many ways, and each little detail can say so much about someone or something. Communication is a big part of the world intentionally and non intentionally as seen in object language.
