    Rhetorical Analysis Of Disabled By Nancy Mairs

    In this passage, Nancy Mairs refers to herself as a cripple. She uses tone, word choice, and rhetorical structure to present herself as a cripple. Her tone throughout the passage is very candid and blunt. Usually when talking about someone who is disabled you wouldn’t say crippled, you would be more euphemistic about it. Mairs is not euphemistic with what she considers herself to be, which is crippled.…

    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.…

    Heather Gellibrand's Cerebral Palsy

    “He has no proof to back up such a ridiculous assertion,” Tabitha said. “Heather and her mother have found sanctuary in a community of faith. Mr. Schekly simply refuses to believe that there are communities and organizations outside of his beloved government bureaucracies that can do the job of caring for the needy.” “Heather Gellibrand has Cerebral Palsy. I find it disturbing that Ms. Couture and her Movement counterparts believe that the scope of Heather Gellibrand’s many medical and educational needs can be properly managed on a religious commune, which is little more than a ramshackle compound in the woods, instead of a legally-required Planning and Placement Team comprised of medical professionals and educators.”…

    Mental Capacity Nvq

    However, the misery is still not over. Even if the term “chronic neurological disability” had been added under the draft bill of the Act4, the procedure of “labeling” a person with disability is still not consistent with the new definition of “disability”, especially when it comes to assessment of the mental capacity. Mental capacity is a multidimensional construct and a central determinant of an individual's ability to make autonomous decisions6. Mental capacity refers to the ability through which an individual: • Understands information provided to him/her. • Retains that information long enough to be able to make the decision.…
