In my view, the 'first impressions are lasting impressions story' has some truth. Take job interviews for instance. If an interviewee walks in with confidence, makes good eye contact, and presents themselves well from the start, the interviewers will likely remember them favorably. It's like a mental snapshot that stays with us. However, it's not always the case as people can change our perceptions over time with consistent behavior that's different from the first impression.
Yes, I think first impressions are often lasting. When we first meet someone, their appearance, mannerisms, and the initial words they say form an immediate perception in our minds. For example, if someone is friendly and well - presented at first meeting, we tend to carry that positive view. Even if later they make a small mistake, we are more likely to overlook it because of that initial good impression.
It can greatly influence our relationships. For example, in dating, a bad first date might make one not want to go on a second date, even if the other person has good qualities. Because that first impression was so negative.
My first impression of a nurse was when I was in the hospital as a kid. She had this warm smile that immediately made me feel at ease. She was so gentle when taking my temperature and checking my vitals. It was like she knew exactly how to make a scared little kid feel safe.
My second day first impressions story is about a new school. I walked in and was immediately struck by how big it was. The hallways were filled with students chatting and laughing. The teachers seemed strict but also approachable. I found my classroom and saw all these new faces. One girl had the most colorful backpack, which was the first thing that stood out to me among the students.
My first impressions of the sub - stories in Yakuza 0 were very positive. The sub - stories seem to be designed to flesh out the game's world and characters. You get to interact with all kinds of people, from the downtrodden to the powerful. They often have their own little narratives that are sometimes simple but always entertaining. Some of them also tie in cleverly with the overall theme of the game, like the themes of loyalty and honor. It's like mini - adventures within the bigger adventure of the main game.
It can vary a lot. Sometimes I'm immediately hooked by the story or the characters. Other times, it might take a bit longer to warm up to it.
Sure. Once I met a guy at a party who had the wildest hair. It looked like he had just been electrocuted. I first thought he was some kind of crazy artist. But later I found out he was just having a bad hair day after a long flight. It was hilarious.
Well, here's one. I had a blind date once. When the person showed up, they were dressed in very shabby clothes. I immediately thought they didn't take the date seriously. But as we started talking, I realized they had just come from helping a friend move and didn't have time to change. Also, I attended a new club meeting. The president of the club was very brusque in his introduction. I thought he was rude. In fact, he was just nervous about leading the meeting for the first time.
First impressions are important in a story because they often set the tone. For example, in a mystery story, the first impression of a dark, spooky old house immediately creates an atmosphere of suspense. It grabs the reader's attention and makes them curious about what might happen next.
Well, when we talk about 'impressions' in the context of a story, it could mean several things. It might be how the story makes someone feel at first glance, or it could be the lasting impact it has on the reader's mind. Sometimes, it's about the memorable aspects that stand out to them.
One way to create effective first impressions in a story is through vivid descriptions. For instance, describing a character's appearance in detail, like 'She walked in with a bright red dress that seemed to light up the whole room', gives a strong first impression.
