Throughout the entire world, there are thousands of different languages used. They all have a great deal in common but are made distinct by their sounds, dialects and slangs. In the movie “Wit,” three specific characters each use language uniquely and exemplify how its usage can be influential. This essay will ascertain the idea that the way a person speaks and listens affects their personal and professional status in society. The first character who depicts an authoritative style of speaking is the patient. Being a scholarly University professor, her language consists of prodigious words that were not extremely relative in day-to-day conversations. She set high standards for herself and expected her students to do the same. Her passion and dedication to her work left her with no social life although she excelled intellectually. Her intellect did not help her very much when she learned that she had cancer. Lacking social skills, the patient decided she was going to fearlessly go forth with intense chemo therapy, without any friends or family by her side. She found it difficult to relate to the nurses and doctors. The nurses were not as intellectual as she was and the doctors spoke jargon focusing on their own priorities. One particular doctor of hers contributed to a few akward moments. Performing a pelvic exam, the young doctor seemed just as uneasy as the patient. He had been a former student of hers and was just as passionate about his job as the patient was of hers. She studied and researched books and poems exactly how the young doctor studied and researched his patients. He had no emotional feelings toward the patient and so his body and verbal language came off as uncaring.
