1. Share a time when you wrote or said something that was interpreted, or
perceived, incorrectly by the recipient of your message. What do you feel might have caused your message to be interpreted incorrectly? Explain.

Not being interpreted correctly is usually due to a different understanding of language being used.

Explanation:

There are a few reasons why something that is said one way would be communicated in a different way to the person that is reading it.

It can be because either the writer is not comfortable in the language they are talking in or the reader is not able to understand it.

It is also because of sometimes the message not being clear and concise.

In my case it is often in the work of poetry that the word gets taken out of context and the work is misinterpreted. There is little one can do except try to write in a way that results in less number of interpretations.

Bahadur Shah Zafar was not a capable son of a capable father.

Explanation:

Although Bahadur Shah Zafar was a better and more courageous ruler than many of his predesessors he was not an administrator per se. He was more of a poet and an artist at heart than he ever was a  king and it showed in his administration.

His father was a weaker ruler who would not think of revolting against the British, which is something that he did and had to suffer for it.

Zafar was instead an idealist king who found himself in too weak a position to ever hold power well enough.
