8arrative Composition #ower of 2ords .2ords are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. 2ords can light fires in the minds of men. 2ords can wring tears from the hardest hearts.1 2hile it is generally accepted that actions speak louder than words, we should never underestimate the power of the tongue. &t can "e used to "uild up or tear down. 8early every waking moment of our lives is spent talking or listening to someone, somewhere. 8o one is more aware of the power of words than media executives. Two divisions of the media, however, have conflicting opinions on the way words impact the audience. %n one hand, television ad sales reps "oast that a positive 9$ second commercial can change the "uying ha"its of the pu"lic.

Although "oth messages have exactly the same "asic meaning, it is the second message that engages our emotions. 2hen you come to think a"out the different kinds of messages we put out in everyday life, in all kinds of ways, we often have to choose words to encapsulate or accompany our messages. Choosing the right words rather than the wrong ones can have a similar dramatic impact on our results.
