    Blind Side

    The movie of The Blind Side attempted to mimic the book as much as possible, however there were noticeable choices that the director made that changed the presentation of the movie compared to the picture that the book created. One of the main choices was to cut out a lot of the football facts that were presented in the book. Throughout the book, numerous chapters were dedicated to talking about the history of the importance of the left tackle and other players in the game, but in the movie, almost all of those scenes were cut out. This made the movie move faster unlike the book which was slow moving at times.…

    Through Deaf Eyes is a film outlining deaf history and deaf culture. The movie touches on many key milestones in deaf American’s lives including: community interactions, education, recreation and work. While we have been learning much on deaf history, I was fascinated to hear the many obstacles deaf people had to overcome to reach where they are today.

    Has anyone ever wondered how it feels to be blind? Imagine being blind, standing outside on a nice day without sight. No sight of the beautiful sky, nor the sun itself, only the feelings and sound. The hot sun, the gentle breeze, the grass and plants flowing in said breeze, all with only audio and touch. This is what it is like to be blind. To read, blind people used to have embossed books with embossed lettering. Embossed books and lettering are no longer used today, thanks to the work of Louis Braille, a blind French teacher at the National Institute for Blind Youth.…

    For decades, Deaf student’s reading levels have been consistently lower than their hearing peers, despite multiple interventions being implemented to target this issue. Over the years Deaf education has adopted teaching methods hoping to increase the test results of the students in all areas including their reading and writing scores. So far, research has not been able to pinpoint a cause to why Deaf students’ results are lower than hearing students on average. It has seemed that researchers have concluded that Deaf people’s reading levels hit a glass ceiling around the fourth-grade level, and in most cases, will stay at there for life. This has been a belief in the Deaf education system for many years, yet no logical explanation has been given…
