Silence!

My son is a big fan of Teen Titans Go! One of my favorite episodes (yes, I like the show, too) uses a lot of silence as well a paralanguage (especially volume) to send interpersonal messages.  The silence creates tension for some, while it brings comfort to others (Raven).  In Chapter 6, we talked quite a bit about the messages silence can send.  One character in this episode is a whisper, and the lower volume sends messages and sets a mood for this episode that is different from other episodes, connecting to our studies of nonverbal communication.

Here is a clip from the episode, although it isn't the full episode:
