Volume control and speak simply is demonstrated in this short clip from the movie "The Incredibles" where Edna proves her point of "NO CAPES!". By repeating the word cape, she emphasizes the continuous possibility of injury due to having a cape. She gradually increases her volume in order to keep control of the argument and to add emphasis. These strategies help to change Mr. Incredibles mind on wanting a cape on his new super suit.

This next example comes from a movie called "Freaky Friday" that was released in 2003. In the following scene, the mother of Anna has her body switched with her daughter for a day at school. After taking a quiz in class, she realizes that the professor was being so hard on her because of his history with her mother. She uses anger to confront him about his teaching practices and helps to inspire a change in him.
