About Me

Hi! My name in Chloe Fanning and I am originally from a small town in Southern Michigan, called Plymouth. I am currently living in Corvallis, Oregon working towards my Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences bachelors degree, and I am thinking of specializing in species like fishers, martens, foxes, etc. In my free time I like to spend time with my friends and sorority sisters, and I also love to paint and create other kinds of art.

Knapp's Relationship Model

A recent interpersonal relationship that has been coming together in my life is the relationships I have formed between me and my sorority sisters. I joined last spring and have gotten to know all the girls, but I am really close with a group of them.  It began in the initiating stage when we all joined over the past couple terms and got to know each other.

I myself have even seen some comments from the Scrub Daddy TikTok account on other viral videos.  The organization of their website is interesting. At the top is a banner with the different resources you can find/use on their website. Thes...

Different channels for connections, whether they be visual, audible, or verbal, are different modes of social semiotics. Social semiotics analyzes how we communicate with each other through a variety of methods, and how they all contribute to social interactions. Gunther Kress was one of the pioneers of social semiotics and is acknowledged for his great contribution to the development of the theory (Adami et al 2022). Social semiotics are important because they dissect the intersectional components of our communication and connection. "In social semiotics, a text is seen as a composition of interconnected signs: a sign-complex designed with signs in different modes...It gains its completeness from the occasions of its social use and making. A text is the designer’s apt representation of her or his a...
