I have read several articles claiming the show to be a disgrace to those with disabilities, but each author of various articles claimed to have not watched even a full episode. As an avid viewer of American Horror Story, I will be analyzing Freak Show and illustrating why I feel that it should not be deemed a disgrace to the disability community. American Horror Story, by Ryan Murph, has touched on several sensitive subjects: season one, Murder House, touched on abortion, rape, and suicide; season 2, Asylum, focused on an insane asylum, forced sterilization, and abortion; season 3, Coven, dealt with religion and racism; season 5, Hotel, refers to insanity; and season 6, Roanoke, plays off of insanity and racism (American Horror Story).

Even though it might get hard because you don’t fit the “standards,” don’t try to be like others. You are beautiful just the way you are. At the beginning of the book, Miriam said it herself, ‘“It’s good to be weird. Who cares if people think you’re weird?”’ This quote from Miriam tells the reader that she doesn’t…

    For college freshman, seeing their entire lives packed away into the back of one car can leave a bittersweet in their mouths. The excitement of being on their own for the first time overpowers the crippling anxiety that comes with the experience of actually being alone. The adjustments of a new town, new people, and a new way of life for the average incoming freshman at the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) are nothing compared to the adjustments international students make when coming…

    Tim Burton’s beautifully haunting production of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ introduces our protagonist, represented by Johnny Depp, and explores the fictional story of this solitary boy with an unfortunate seemingly threatening oddity, being thrust into a world where he is glaringly blatant in the midst of the suburbs. Despite his intimidating exterior, it is almost immediately exposed that Edward is just an innocent, childlike soul, intent on serving others. The purpose of this film was to delve into…

    standard was by sending notes home to parents explaining why their child was on yellow or below. Another way I met this standard was by grouping my students by their “reading” level for literacy stations. I gathered data on my students and my personal observations of each of them, and from there I placed them where I thought they would benefit the most. Standard 2, content knowledge, was met by integrating my lessons. Since we only have 30 minutes for science/social studies every other day, I…
