Communication

I choose to watch Little House on the Prairie, the episode was Country Girl.  The reason I choose this program is because I dislike it a lot, I know you all may think I'm nuts, but I grew up with my mother, and grandmother watching it daily.

No Sound

When the TV show started, I assumed Laura was sick, because Mary pulled the bed covers off Laura's head; however, Laura immediately pulled it back over head.  Following the TV showed the mother cooking, so I assumed it must be Sunday, because the mother appeared to have a lot of food cooking at one time.  Laura and Mary finally came down stairs dressed in what appeared to be their church dresses, at least that what I though.  The girls talked to their mother about something, but Laura seemed to be upset.  The mother and father smiled at the girls and then the girls left the house walking.  They arrived to a building that looks like a church.  I seen other children standing in the yard of the church, Laura appeared to me afraid for some reason, because she kept standing behind Mary.

With Sound

The first assumption I made about Laura being sick was wrong.  She was not sick she did not want to go to school.  Also, I assumed they were going to church; however, the sisters were getting ready for school.
I feel that my assumptions would still been a little off, even if I was familiar with the TV show. 
I learned by watching the TV show without sounds, that hearing and listening play a huge role in the way one understand, perceive sound, and interpret what they heard.
