    Living Under Circe's Spell

    In the short essays “On Being a Cripple,” by Nancy Mairs, and “Living Under Circe’s Spell,” by Matthew Soyster, two different authors expose what their life was like after being diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis). The first essay is a piece that discusses years of dealing with this chronic degenerative disease, reflecting on what it has taught the author, how it has made her a better person, and also talks a lot about how society should treat the disabled as normal people. The second is a much shorter narrative where the author talks about his briefer experience with MS and the immediate emotions felt when he first faced challenges of the disease that ruined the course his future had been set on, focusing mainly on himself rather than the broad perspective of society. Both of these stories incorporate specific tone to make their stories more interesting and drive their opinions on how disabled people should be viewed. Using tone is one of the easiest ways an author can portray how they feel about a subject aside from flat out stating it.…

    With the variety of shows and films covering nearly all plots imaginable it appears as if the media has a wide variety of diversity. Yet when examined a little closer the minorities are all depicted the similarly in the media. The T.V. sample although brief shed some light on some rather interesting trends when it came to the disabled community in the media. When scouting for disabled lead roles within television it seems that they all share one thing in common: Asperger 's Syndrome. The viewing sample included shows that had lead characters with a disability playing one of the lead roles ,usually with a position of prestige and intelligence but their quirky personality or miss of social cues is seen as either humor or a genius spur of the moment.…

    The essay is about Nancy’s experience with multiple sclerosis (MS) and how society viewed disability in terms of attitude and language usage. One of the mean reasons why she wrote this essay is to analyze and critique the society view on disability while she also was explaining her experience with MS. For instance, she critiqued society ideal beauty standers. She explained that while beauty standers may change over the time, these standers had never included disable women. She also critiqued that society made starting a family difficult for an immobilized person.…

    Many ordinary everyday people are oblivious to how they treat and act around those who are mentally or physically disabled. Three certain writers have written personal narratives and examined their views and their lives on being physically disabled. “Why The Able-Bodied Still Don’t Get it”, by Andre Dubus, “Disability”, by Nancy Mairs and “Should I Have Been Killed at Birth?”, by Harriet McBryde Johnson all relate to a certain aspect in life, which is living with disability. Even though each individual essay describes different attitudes and stories, they all seem to interact with one another by sharing some common ground. They are expressing their feelings about how the well and fit individuals treat them in a patronizing, pitying, and sometimes…
