Tomorrow Dad Will Still Be Deaf Analysis
I looked up this video before going to the library to watch it. I like to do this because it helps give me background information on what I am watching. Since I am in the upper level ASL classes, I like to challenge myself. So when I watched this movie, I had no volume and had to hear the stories by paying close attention to their signs and working on my receptive skills. The background info helps when I do not know a sign or get confused, because then I can use context clues to figure it out. Tomorrow Dad Will Still Be Deaf shocked me because it was a VHS. I have not watched one of these since I was a kid. Kelsey even showed up as I was watching the video and we were reminiscing on our childhood. That was neat because I was able to compare my upbringing to Bonnie Kraft’s. She is a hearing woman who was born to Deaf parents, but feels as though she has a “Deaf heart.” This is a unique perspective and that is why I enjoyed it so much. While learning ASL, you are constantly exposed to this culture. This is a side that is mentioned, but not gone into great detail. …show more content…
I would say I have met the most of 5 CODA’s. Their story is not one that you hear as often so it was a new side to Deaf culture. She is a storyteller and that is obvious in this video. Her signing was exceptional and easy to follow. Her story is full of experiences that explain what it’s like to be a CODA. They even have their own special language, “CODA talk.” Her honesty was inspiring. She held nothing back when it came to her views on hearing people imitating Deaf people and being raised by the Deaf community. And I do agree, they did a darn fine job because she had made quite a name for

    ASL102 Deaf in America Book Report

    In this book, Deaf in America, by Carol Padden and Tom Humphries, the two authors wrote stories, jokes, performances, and experiences of Deaf people. They also wrote Deaf culture and Deaf people’s lives from various angles. This book is great navigator of Deaf world for hearing people and even Deaf people as me. There are several factors attracting reader. To begin with, I could learn about backgrounds of deaf people and hearing people. Authors wrote about a Deaf boy who was born into a deaf family. Until he discovered that a girl playmate in neighborhood was “hearing”, he didn’t notice about “Others”. Authors explained, “She was HEARING and because of this did not know how to SIGN; instead she and her mother TALK” (Chapter 1). This story strongly impressed me. I was born into a Deaf family too, but I grew up with hearing grandparents. In my childhood, I did intensive oral training with my grandparents. So, I can sign JSL and talk Japanese smoothly. Therefore I never felt emotion like this occasion, “Others” to hearing people. The next factor is difference of “Deaf” and “deaf”. For example, the capitalized “Deaf” people are not only “deaf” but also user of Sign Language. I haven’t known the meaning of “Deaf” and “deaf” exactly before, thanks to this book, now I can understand. When I analyzed myself, I identified as “Deaf” because I truly cherish Sign Language. In addition, Sign Language is explained as a primary mode of communication for Deaf people including me. It has full access to communication for us. Unfortunately, some hearing people misunderstand that Sign Language is a kind of gestural communication. Authors wrote about it, “ASL are often thought to be direct representations of spoken words” (Chapter 3). In my country, Japan, there are some misconceptions about JSL too. Sign Language has both iconic and abstract concept.…

    Through Deaf Eyes Documentary Analysis

    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. I am one to always route for the underdog and to me the deaf community’s history is a wonderful example of a minority persevering to achieve set goals and dreams. This movie helped me realize that while obstacles for modern deaf people are numerous, in the past they were almost…

    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.…

    A Journey Into The Deaf World Summary

    In a Journey into the Deaf-World the author uses a revolving door to explain how hearing people may see the Deaf-World and that felt very accurate for me. I love seeing Deaf people sign, its fluid and expressive and I think beautiful. I also feel like I won’t reach that point anytime soon, or be able to sign with a Deaf person outside of class. The books assigned help give insight to the Deaf community and their practices. It’s also really helpful in learning what to not do/ learn what’s considered rude. I liked that this book included the story of the different deaf characters. It’s nice to hear about their lives and get an insight to some of their activities like the club.…

    Response to the Movie 'See What I'm Saying'

    I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…

    Some of the things I had learned with the movie is how the education system works, and does not work, for the parents and deaf students. Jacob is faced with the many issues in his day to day school life. Even though his teacher is animated and tries to work with him, he still is unable to read lips well enough to process everything he is saying. The mother and father were floundering, unable to decide the best course of action for their son. The teacher informs them that he not only…

    Through Deaf Eyes Documentary Analysis

    The film “Through Deaf Eyes” changed the way I view the deaf community and deaf culture. Before watching the film I didn’t know much about deaf culture at all. I knew that deaf people had a strong community and were closely connected to one another, but watching the film allowed me to see that much more clearly. When the deaf people talked, many of them mentioned the experience of meeting and being with other deaf people. The way they spoke about all deaf schools and churches opened my eyes to the very strong sense of community and shared experiences many deaf people have. It showed me how powerful being with a group of people similar to yourself can be and how it can affect people’s life in a very positive way. The video also changed the way I viewed…

    Danielle's Argumentative Essay

    Danielle had the freedom to start learning ASL as part of her curriculum at 11 years old because of her interest. Since parents didn’t know ASL, they found an interpreter and hired her for private lessons. In exchange, they tutored the interpreter’s son in math. By attending deaf social events, Danielle became immersed in their culture and visual humor at a young age. The language clicked for her, and in ninth grade, she began…

    Deaf Culture Book Report

    There are, of course, Deaf people who produce masterpieces in English that would compare to many other great American writers. However, the real fascination lies with the other side of Deaf Literature. This comes from the so-called “oral” tradition of the culture. This term is used to describe ASL literature that is passed down from generation to generation through signing. It’s not that the opportunity to write it wasn’t around, but that in doing so some of the content will be lost in translation. This is because ASL and English are two different languages. In the ASL class, I learned about this difference. However, I did not entirely understand it until reading the book. More specifically the section on ASL autobiographies and…

    Personal Narrative: My Tripod Program

    When I started the first grade, I was lucky enough to be placed in what was coined the tripod program. In this program were deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students in the same class. I was in the program throughout my years in k-12. In elementary school all my teachers would Sim-com, and once I got to 6th grade we had interpreters. Being 7 years old when I started the program, I was able to sponge up the signs rather quickly.…

    Deaf Event Reflection

    I arrived at seven and left at eight when the event ended. The event was for kids so there were at least ll parents and at least 15 kids so in total around 26 people attended the event not including me. The event was very different from what I was expecting. It was very entertaining and I liked how much the kids liked it. The event consisted of choosing a book and then a person would start reading it to the children. I say reading it but it was more like a play, it was very engaging. I felt out of place at first seeing as the event was for children but I did try to stay out of the way. I was not as nervous to attend this event compared to the first one because this one did not have me trying to converse with someone. All I had to do was watch someone read a book to the children. Out of all three events this is the one that I most enjoyed because it made me see a different side to ASL culture. I liked how it felt like a skit, it made reading with your voice seem dull. Overall this one did not really require me to sign to others but it did allow me to see how a story would be told from a deaf persons perspective. It was a good view into deaf culture. The event did include deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing children so the greeting were from saying hi to waving. The leave takings were waving good bye, hugging good bye, to see you…
