Cece’s partial deafness interferes with her life in many different ways. Cece’s deafness causes others to think and act differently around her. People really only cared for Cece because she has a disability. They only paid attention to Cece because she was different. Cece was also not very well known to everyone. Cece is an outcast in her school. The result of Cece’s accident caused others to help more ways than usual. On page 65 it say’s that Ginny make a big deal out of her hearing. She even talks very loudly around Cece. Cece had confronted Ginny and had said “ YOU DON’T HAVE TO TALK TO ME SO LOUD AND SLOW, I CAN’T STAND IT!”. This helps prove the point of my overall position because from the start Cece had said that it felt like Ginny was watching her. In one of the comic panels, the author had put dashed lines going from Ginny’s eyes to Cece’s hearing aids. This represented that all the time Ginny was only paying attention to Cece’s hearing aids. Some other examples that supports my overall position is that a girl named Bonnie said “ Wait a minute are you deaf? Is that what the cords are for because I know SIGN LANGUAGE. Cece, you are special”. Bonnie didn’t do this to any other people, only because they are not different. The only reason Ginny talked so loud and slow was because at that moment she had seen her hearing aids. Why is it that right at that moment when she had first seen her hearing aids, she assumed that she couldn’t hear? This proves that people do have…

In 1808 Congress made it illegal to import slaves, so the Eastern Shore in Maryland, where Harriet lived, was put under great pressure to provide the laborers for the farther South. Families were…
