The hot sun is out. He hears waves crashing into each other outside, seagulls cawing and people enjoying the view. He steps one foot outside touching the warmth of sand. He can smell the fresh pure air of the ocean. The birds chirping to the sun’s daylight. The clouds floated away and bring more sunlight. His kid is playing outside and laughing.

They rang the doorbell and their mom never answered, so they looked through the window, saw her drinking wine, and watching television. To get their moms’ attention they yelled, knocked, and even threw snowballs at the window which she bluntly ignored. So they got mad. It was getting late and they wanted to teach both of their parents a lesson. They came up with a plan where one of them would lay in the middle of the road and get hit by a car.

While his sister was laying in the middle of the road the neighbor drove up, saw her, and then told their mom. She finally came and got them. He clearly states that this was just how things were when he was growing up. I find that stay at home moms can face many…

    Through Deaf Eyes Summary

    It was interesting to hear, and see, what kind of challenges that deaf people faced. One of the people I found interesting was. A hearing French professor had brought the language from France and that was how it signing had started. I thought that was interesting, because not only was it a long time to create a form of communication for the deaf community; they were also mistreated for their inability to communicate with the rest of the world. Another person that I found interesting, was Alexander Gram Bell, had a wife and mother, who were deaf. On top of that, it was startling at first, to hear that the deaf community treated him as a sort of “boogeyman.” I found it fascinating that he is well known in a hearing class for inventing the telephone, but in the deaf class, he is known for starting the Oralism form of communication in the deaf community. Along with that, Bell fought against having sign language being taught, because he felt that it was a “borrowed language.” Instead he wanted the people community to learn to speak and read lips. It was interesting to hear, because I assumed that most people who were deaf just learned sign language for their communication.…
