Your text presents an argument that in general, men speak in report form while women speak in rapport form.
Do you find this to be true in your life experiences? If so, provide at least 2 examples. If you don't find the "report" versus "rapport" speak to be an accurate representation of how men and women speak, why not? Provide at least 2 examples.
Do you believe that the way that men and women speak changes over their lifetime?

I do believe that this is generally true across most populations. An example would be that of people in the workplace. Male leaders are usually more likely to "report" instructions to their subordinates. They generally give instructions that do not take into account the subordinates' wishes in a significant way. When women are in positions of power, they are more likely to care about the subordinates' thinking or feelings. This can lead to better outcomes, as well as worse ones, depending on the situation.

Another example is parenting. In general, women are more likely to want to build "rapport" with their children through communication. On the other hand, fathers are more likely to communicate information as a "report," and bond in other, less communicative ways.

I do believe that the way people speak changes over their lifetime. Both men and women are more concerned with "rapport" in their early life, particularly in childhood and during their teenage years. The differences in communication between the two genders, however, becomes clearer afterwards.

tree and the cat in the tree

the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

hope this !
