Improved Essays
I agree, Cece’s partial deafness interferes with her ability to develop relationships with others. I agree because she would confuse words that others will say.

To support this claim my evidence was on page 62 and page 154. On page 62 it shows how when a new girl walks in her classroom because she is new. But, what Cece doesn’t like about Ginny (the new girl) is that she has been staring at her for the whole day. But worst is that she stared at her for days and weeks. Until Ginny finally asks if she wears hearing aids. And of course Cece answers umm I guess. And on page 154 it shows how Cece hates showing the microphone to the teacher because everyone stares at her as she walks up. But, it also shows how the new kid Mike Miller (Cece’s crush) also stares at her. And that makes Cece feel uncomfortable because everyone plus Mike stares at her. This shows how while Cece is in class learning. A new kid walks in and gets to sit next to Cece. Her name is Ginny but, there is something strange about her. She keeps on staring at Cece. For the whole day but continued for weeks. Until she asks if Cece is wearing hearing aids. Of course, Cece answers yes but she seems uncomfortable because Ginny has been staring at her for week. Her being stared at interferes with her being deafness and not having the ability to make relationships because people staring at her is going to make her uncomfortable to make

    Deaf Like Me Summary

    • 711 Words

    The book “Deaf Like Me” by Thomas S. Spradley and James P. Spradley intrigued because it was about a hearing family that had a deaf daughter. I was also interested that the book was written in the perspective of the father. The statistic that vast majority of deaf children are born to hearing parents has always made me fascinated with what each hearing parent has done for their deaf child. I knew that this story would most likely have a happy ending considering the title “Deaf Like Me” I made the inference that maybe his daughter would find inclusion from being emerged in the culture of deaf individuals. “Deaf Like Me” followed the story of the parents Tom and Louise Spradley in the early 1960s.…

Nonetheless, Peter and Nita stand by their decision against a cochlear implant in addition to choosing to move to Maryland in which there’s a strong deaf community and a school that will allow Heather to interact…

    However, a distinction needs to be made between “enhancement” and “disability,” especially when it comes to deafness within children. In the eyes of the parents (who both happen to be deaf), they genuinely believe that if their child is born with the same traits as the parents such as deafness or blindness, it will improve the quality or even value of their child. However, I would argue that it was in the parent’s self interest when selecting trait for their child that the intent was for a good cause, but the end result is that it is inflicting harm to their child which have repercussions that can have an impact on the child who is suffering from this…
