Stop sign

We are walking/sprinting to get on the boat before anyone notices us. Joe leads us on the boat, and he is following the signs that lead to the maintenance room. WE find the room without anyone sporting us and now we are hiding very quietly behind the machines so no one can find us here. The boat ride is taking forever because Alaska is forever away and the cruise ship is…

The deaf have come a long way with being able to communicate with others without hearing. They have their own language that allows them to communicate with other deaf as well as hearing people who choose to learn their language. There is a debate that has been in the mix for a while and that is if deaf-hearing relationships can work. A deaf-hearing relationship can refer to many different combinations of deaf and hearing. For example a deaf person with someone is fluent signing or moderate or…

and he said he would have to see, he texted me later and said that he would love to go and that his mom could drive us both there. I was excited to go and on the way there we decided that we were going to pretend we were deaf; meaning that we would sign the entire time. Right as we set foot outside the car the silence began, even Alex’s mom mentioned how she had never chaperoned for kids that were this quiet. We talked a few times before our way in, like when the girl behind me asked me where I…

difficult to distinguish between her suit and her hands and to read her signs. In addition, this video is a shade blurry, and watching it caused me to have a slight headache. To interpret this video comfortably, I would have liked to change the focus of the camera. In…

and now forces cars that are in neutral and objects back up the hill so they don't go through the same tragedy she went through. A group of boys wanted to test this phenomenon and they decided to go on a road trip and test it out. they came to the stop sign and to their amazement it worked and they went back up the hill. There are many legends of what people think happened and one of them was a lady and her husband were fighting and the lady knocked the mad dead and dragged him up the hill to…

Her deafness definitely didn’t not stop her. Marlee did get a pretty good education. Her parents didn't think she needed a special school so she went to a public school, and succeeded very well. She started to learn sign language around the age of 5. It was hard for her parents to adjust because they didn't know a lot of signs. Marlee was stubborn when she was little and very outspoken so that made it even harder for them to communicate with her. This didn't stop them they started to learn too.…

Big Question: How fixed is our personality? “But something deeper and more transformative happens when we move from people who walk to people who drive,” the author states.(20) In this quote, the author says that people change from personality when getting in a metal box on wheels. The reader realizes that they too, are victim of rude gestures while driving, and feeling invincible. Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt is about different variables that affect drivers on the road. Your attitude is…

“Through Deaf Eyes” is an eye-opening movie about the world and culture of deaf people. It made me question my previous thoughts and opinions about deaf people and the differences in “Earth” and “Eyeth.” My personal perceptions were altered quite drastically in terms of how some deaf people perceive themselves and the attitudes hearing people have towards them. Many deaf people do not see themselves as having a problem in need of fixing, they just accept it as a trait. Alternately, many hearing…

where she is noticeably underdeveloped compared to the rest of the women her age. The community does not have a lot of deaf-friendly things to do. The only thing that the community has to offer is a teacher who can be seen trying to help Maria learn sign language, but struggles. This shows just how important community is to language development and communication if the community was more educated on deafness and provided…

She voluntarily let her ignorance bleed thru like a gushing wound. She could have smiled at us, a small non-verbal gesture that’s a universal sign of acknowledgement. She had seen us using sign language prior to walking over to the table. A wave is a recognizable gesture of “hello.” A pen and a piece of paper to introduce herself would have been appropriate, and an appreciated effort of trying to establish communication…
