    Deaf Like Me Summary

    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.…

    As we discuss communication disorders, it is important to discuss hearing disorders as well; it is essential to include hearing loss and deafness in the conversation in this course, seeing as these two things influence the ability to speak and communicate orally, seeing that hearing helps with acquiring and producing speech and language. A deaf person is a minority in the hearing world and often struggles to exchange information, ideas, feelings with those who are hearing.

It highlights special moments in Deaf culture, such as society attempting to teach Deaf people how to speak verbally, how Deaf people are no longer discriminated in today’s culture, and how technology has impacted the Deaf community. This documentary is a very educational video about the Deaf culture and how it has evolved.

    Futureless Language Influence

    Writer Ronnie Sharfman, wrote that she cloaked herself in another language when she left South Africa. She was leaving behind a country where she had dealt with injustice and now was immersing herself in a new culture and allowing it to heal her. Albeit that is undoubtedly excessively dramatic, I do understand that there are some people who come from places where the inconceivable transpires, who need to “leave behind and heal themselves,” as Sharfman writes. Respectively, my grandfather, who was Chinese, endured oppression and brutality in his country of birth. He came to the United States, married my grandmother and left behind his language and his culture.…

    How Does Technology Affect The Future

    Techonlogy's Effect on the Past and the Future Ray Bradbury's story "A Sound of Thunder" is a stronger work of science fiction than Gloria Skurzynski's "Nethergrave" because it really shows that one mistake can make a huge impact on the future of the world, as well as the great characterization, some points made me feel like I was really in the story. I felt that Bradbury's story was more interesting than Skurzynski's story. It seemed that Bradbury's idea was that one small thing could change the future drastically , in this case in a negative way. In the story the characters use a time machine to travel to the late Jurassic Era. Eckels made a big mistake that cost him his life.…
