Family Communication Patterns Rules and Challenges
Who makes up your family?
Take the “Your Family’s Communication” assessment. Are the results accurate? (If you are up for it, see if you can get a family member to also take the assessment and compare results. This is not required.)
Then look at the section in the chapter about family communication patterns, rules, and challenges. Where does your family follow the concepts presented in the chapter? How does your family deviate or veer away from the text material? Explain.

Here is a list of stylistic devices.
Stylistic Devices:
Imagery – Sensory language
Similes – using “as” or “like” to compare two things
Metaphors – describing one thing in terms of another
Personification – assigning human qualities to inanimate objects
Hyperbole – exaggeration
Alliteration – Repeat consonant
Assonance – Repeat vowel
Antithesis – presenting opposites in one sentence
Repetition – repeating a phrase/sentence
Original language – creating a slogan
Assign a stylistic device to each of the following statements (each one is used only once)
