WARM-UP

In his 1959 book The Silent Language, anthropologist Edward T. Hall proposed a model to describe how people in the United States often use personal space (the area around people that they control or use). Try to match the distance with the type of encounter.

Distance (inches):

1. Very Close (3–6) 2. Close (8–12)

3. Near (12–20)

Neutral (20–36)

Far Neutral (36–60) 6. Public (60–96)

Far Public (96–240)

Great Distances (240–?)

Types of Encounters:

used for social gatherings and business encounters;

used by teachers and speakers at public gatherings; ñ) used in personal situations;

used when comforting others or showing affection;

e) used for many social situations when two people are meeting socially;

used for social conversations, especially in groups;

used for formal social interactions and business transactions;

used for public speaking by public figures.

SITUATION

Read the following passage.

Marie is a professional artist. An important client, Mrs. Edith Van Dame, commissioned Marie to do a painting of the church where she got married. She wants to give the painting to her husband for a wedding anniversary gift on Friday. It’s now Tuesday evening. After a long day of painting, Marie is meeting a friend, Michael, at a coffeehouse.

Michael: What are you working on now?

Marie: The Van Dame piece. I know what you’re going to say. Michael: You haven’t finished that yet?

Marie: That’s what I thought you were going to say. No, I haven’t finished yet. Will I? Not if everyone keeps bothering me.

Michael: What are you talking about?

Marie: I was at the church all day again today. Not five minutes after I had set up, I was surrounded by curiosity-seekers. They just stood there looking over my shoulder.

Michael: Maybe you should think of them as fans or admirers instead of the enemy.

Marie: I’ve tried. It doesn’t work. You know how much I hate to have people breathing down my neck.

Michael: How about getting a boa constrictor or maybe a pitbull terrier?

Marie: Now there’s a thought. If I’m going to finish before Friday, I might have to do something drastic.

Michael: Have you ever tried painting from a photo?

Marie: Actually, that’s not a bad idea. Why didn’t I think of that before?

ANALYSIS & EXPLANATION

Circle the best answer to the question below. Turn to the appendix, where each answer is explained. If your choice is incorrect, choose again.

Why has Marie been unable to finish the Van Dame painting?

A. The people who watch Marie paint distract her too much.

A. Marie can only paint when she feels inspired, and this painting doesn’t inspire her.

G. Michael spends so much time with her that she can’t finish.

EXERCISE A

Read the passage below. Then respond to the true-or-false statements that follow it. Be prepared to defend your answers.

Rita is a reporter for The Daily Post, one of the largest newspapers in the country. A lot of changes in personnel have taken place recently in the newsroom, and Rita isn’t happy with any of them. Rita is writing a letter to her former editor who is now stationed in the Middle East.

Dear Bill,

I’m on my lunch break, and I thought I’d write you a quick note to bring you up to date on what’s been happening at the Post. In case you haven’t heard yet: Carol Beesley’s taken over your old job. The good news is that she’s added two more reporters, but the bad news is that she put them in with me. You remember my tiny office, don’t you? Now that there are three of us in there, I can’t spread out anymore. In fact, just to get to my desk I have to elbow my way across the room. We’re packed in like sardines. To try to make room for the other two, I had to give up that little table that held my coffee maker.

I don’t need to tell you how much that coffee maker meant to me. I can barely function without it. I’ll get more elbow room if it’s the last thing I do.

On top of everything else, Carol always seems to be getting in the way. Every word I type, every phone call I make, there she is looking over my shoulder, offering suggestions and making corrections! She’s always breathing down my neck. I guess she’s just trying to be helpful, but I wish she would get out of my way and let me do my job. Yesterday was by far the worst. She was underfoot all morning. After a couple of hours of her suggestions, I got up and went down to the mail room. When I got back, she was actually sitting at my desk editing my work! I couldn’t believe it, Bill. I walked right up to her and I asked her as sweetly as I could if I was in her way. I think I managed to embarrass her because she apologized and moved over real fast. Maybe now she’ll stay out of my way and I’ll have some breathing space. Gotta go. Deadlines to meet, you know. Miss you! Write soon.

Example: Bill probably doesn’t know who Carol is. (F)

Rita probably was happier when Bill was her editor.

Bill probably requested a transfer to the Middle East to get away from Rita.

Rita probably used to make coffee when she got to work in the morning.

Carol probably doesn’t spend much time in her own office.

Rita probably has a secretary to type her news reports.

Carol is probably just lonely.

Bill and Rita probably know each other well.

EXERCISE B

Read each of the following situations. Then respond to the last statement in each situation; write A for Agree or D for Disagree.

Example: John’s dormitory room is small, and it is filled with his belongings. John has almost no elbow room. Maybe John should start thinking about moving to a bigger room or getting rid of some of his stuff. (A)

Sam needed to get home early last night, and if he hadn’t hurried he would have missed his train. Unfortunately for Sam, it was rush hour, and the streets were filled with people. Sam had to elbow his way through the crowd to get to the train station. Sam probably was able to catch his train.

Ken shares an office with Sue. They always seem to be getting in each other’s way. Ken bumped into Sue three times this morning, and Sue tripped over Bill once. They probably should try to stay out of each other’s way.

Jill volunteered to drive six of her friends to the beach. Her friends didn’t know she had a sub-compact car. Jill really had to pack them in like sardines to get everyone in. The next time, Jill’s friends will probably find another way to get to the beach.

When Bonnie sat down in the school library, she was the only one in the room, and she was able to spread her books and papers out all over the table. A half an hour later, every seat was taken. A student asked Bonnie if she wouldn’t mind moving over a little so he could pull up an extra chair. Bonnie probably made room for him.

Andy was riding his bike when a dog stopped in the middle of the road in front of him. Andy yelled, “Get out of the way,” but the dog apparently didn’t understand English because it didn’t move. Andy probably went around the dog.

Margaret was trying to cook dinner, but her husband kept looking over her shoulder to make suggestions. Не only left the kitchen when Margaret told him he was in her way. Margaret probably was happy to have a little extra breathing space.

Tom’s boss needed a report finished by the end of the day, and she kept coming in every ten minutes to see if Tom had finished it. Tom couldn’t work well with his boss breathing down his neck. Tom probably finished the report on time.

Martha is always happy when her grandchildren come to visit, but she is always happy when they leave, too. That’s because it doesn’t take long before the kids are underfoot. When that happens, Martha probably can’t get much housework done.
