I chose to read Elisabeth's, Maria's, and Alfredos' Blogs.


Whils reading Elisabeth's blog, I learned that Leah Cohen, A woman that secretly wants to fit in with other deaf people, forms a romantic relationship with her deaf tutor, after a session of private ASL lessons.


From Marina i learned that the Deaf community kept a close eye on James Taylor. They watched over him. Even going as far as checking up on him one day when he missed school.

From Alfredo, I gained the knowledge of looking at the title differently. he states in his essay. "Train go sorry is like missed opportunity or missed connections with another individual. " I never thought of it that way. It totally makes sense. He also says that "Deaf people are no different than anybody else" I both agree and disagree with this statement. Yes they are no different, and should not be looked down upon by the society for having a disability that they couldn't control, but that's not said to go without saying that they are not the same as we are. They have a life changing disability that is a constant struggle to cope with everyday. We know nothing of whats that's like.
