Cece's Hearing Aids Analysis

Improved Essays
I believe Cece’s hearing aids does not affect her ability to have friends and have a healthy relationship with her family. One reason is Cece has already made friends even with her partial deafness. Another reason is Cece and her older brother and sister have a regular sibling relationship. The last reason is people do not really care about her hearing aids. Altogether Cece is basically a regular person. In the text there, is many examples of Cece having friends with her hearing aids. One example is, “Cece is friends with Martha, Mike and some of the neighborhood kids. Then Martha specifically says "You know it's Friday and all you should ask your Mom if you can spend the night?" (122). In the evidence, I say Martha invited Cece over for a sleepover. There is another thing I need to add, this was the first time they met. Not many normal people have sleepovers when they first meet people so Cece has to at least be a little likable. She also is friends with other kids. Even though she has hearing aids her friends show she is a likable kid. I think it really shows Cece has a regular relationship with her siblings. One thing is Cece watches TV with her siblings which is normal. In the text, it says, "But luckily they are nice enough to tell me what the people on TV are saying without even being obnoxious." (80). You see even with hearing aids …show more content…
When Martha and Cece first meet she talks to her regularly and Cece can understand her. Martha doesn't even care about the hearing aids. They have a regular sleepover (122-128). This shows that people do not really care about her hearing aids. People just want to hang out with her the way she is. Martha does not care about the hearing aids so if she doesn't some other kids probably don't care about it either. She is also easy to approach. In the books, it has shown she has a good sense of humor. You see what I’m

    Maryland Bulletin (1991-1996) In “Maryland Bulletin” April 1991, over one hundred years the old Main Building provided accommodations as classroom facilities for the deaf students in Maryland and the building was torn down in 1967. The state of Maryland wants to provide the need of special educational services to deaf children very early in the history. Since Maryland feel the need to providing facilities to educate its deaf children, Henry Baker in 1867 reported a bill to incorporate the Maryland Institute for the education of the deaf and dumb. It has passed both Houses on March 22nd and the Maryland School for the Deaf was established.…

    Initially, Martha seems austere and harsh. Throughout the book, her character is developed and new opinions are able to be formed. Martha can be sympathized more. Martha Carrier had a sharp tongue and she used it to handle those who tried to shame her into submission using scripture. They would quote scripture that pointed out her failure to submit and she would just as quickly quote another scripture that exposed their insincerity and hypocrisy.…

    As happens with any minority, the media misrepresents Deaf people. They have been portrayed as disabled or isolated, for example, in Switched at Birth, a deaf character gets nearly hit by a car, starts a kitchen fire, and is robbed while her nearby deaf friend doesn’t help because he can’t hear her cries for help. In Bones, a teenage deaf girl is treated as a homicide suspect because she doesn’t immediately speak to the police (Foss 437-438). As a result of this representation, hearing people assume that deaf people would jump to any chance for a cure. Cochlear implants present a “cure” for the Deaf, but it is not as beneficial one would assume.…

    The downside of this is that usually other nonmusical classes and goals are considered more important than musical activities. Nancy Williams is a pianist with hearing loss, she loved to play the piano but was scared that if her instructors found out they would believe that she “was hopeless as a pianist,” even though she tried to hide it she overcame this shamefulness of her condition. She personally made her experience into five steps to help music teachers, on how to guide students of any age with hearing loss (Williams, 1). Just as Darrow provides key information on how to include students with hearing loss in their class, Williams also has her own way of helping out music…

    “For my Deaf Son” is a documentary type movie that gives the audience a rare insider on the struggle between two hearing parents having to decide how to educate their deaf child. The variances between oral, manual, and mainstream methods are shown in great details from many of different sources. Thomas Tranchin’s parents found out he was profoundly deaf when he was one-year-old. The whole family describes how devastated they felt when the doctor told them, and how they knew it would change their lives. I agree with Taylor, the movie was a little hard to watch.…

    However, this doesn’t please their grandparents, who are both hearing, as they believe that getting Heather a cochlear implant will give her a better life within real-world situations. They emphasize that society is struggling to adapt to the deaf community and is reluctant to learn ASL, so getting a cochlear implant will help Heather in many aspects of life. 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…

    Analysis Of Deaf Again

    Community, acceptance, pride and early linguistic intervention are the key issues that I found during my reading of Deaf Again. Our author’s experiences at Gallaudet University and the PSD finally gave him the feeling of existing and community. For the first time, he craved challenges and joined organizations because he did not feel left out. Drolsbaugh has now learned how to live life and was a big advocate of deaf children having every opportunity to interact with others like themselves. Without this exposure, Mark Drolsbaugh felt emotionally and cognitively much younger than his chronological age as compared to his hearing counterparts.…

    Essay #2: Disability or Enhancement? In this essay, I will argue that Gauvin’s parents were not morally justified in their decision to permanently make their son born and remain deaf because by doing so the parents are treating the child as a lesser equal and are inflicting psychological harm. The role of parents is to ensure the wellbeing, safety, and support of their child in hopes that they can become stable, independent, and functional individuals in the near future. However, choosing a sperm donor with a history of deafness or any other disabilities is morally unjust because it is specifically taking a trait and implanting it upon a child causing them a life of hardships that they have to endure.…
