Model of Communication

As you can see in picture one, rain drops are falling from the sky to the ground. Each rain drop can represent something like an idea, thought, or an opinion. Picture two depicts the pond receiving the rain. Thus the pond represents a person listening to another. In picture three, the pond expands because it "accepts" the raindrops. This can be feedback because an effective process has occurred. Image four shows a sunshine (aka a stimulant) that forces the raindrops out of the pond and back into the atmosphere. I believe that thoughts taken in should be freely given off to form this constant cycle of knowledge. A weather pattern seemed to most effectively represent a model of communication because it is in constant motion. Words, and nonverbal cues are given off and taken in at every moment. The person who listens to someone speak should walk away feeling like they gained something from the conversation. Hopefully, whatever they have gained can be distributed to others.
