1. Within the text it mentioned that ideas, concepts and things do not really exist until there are words to recall categorize and talk about them. I disagree. How is this truly possible when during the prehistoric times, they used symbols and sounds, not words.
2. I agree with the book on connotative words. Upon helping my son study and read particular books for summer school that there are many words that have alternative meanings and he points them out whenever we read. He has asked me why they use the word "Lot" for a group of people when they could have just said "Group" or "Jug" when they could have said "Pitcher". this obviously irritates him. :)
3. what is the point of a panoramic view? The idea that it jumps from person to person in order to incorporate everyone's perspective into the scene is confusing.
While panoramic view may be necessary to reflect the different subjects' point of view, it can become a little overwhelming. I recorded a sermon two weeks ago with a panel of six people and while the main camera had to stay on the main subject, the other camera were used to jump back and forth as each presenter made their comments. In addition, we also had to capture the audience response and emotions from time to time and I was felt like I was juggling with the camera.
