It is not bad having deafness because she can hear what all the teachers are talking about .
This does state my claim because im saying she can make at least make more than 1 friend.
=======================================================================.
Evidence 2

Laura and I do become best friends
p.49

I can hear everything my teacher says and does! In the classroom p.44
El Deafo and her true friend-you p.233

Reasoning

This also states my claim because its saying she got a friend.

It's not terrible to be deaf because she can hear whatever she's doing.
This would help my statement because is says she and her true friend by her.

Rebuttal:

Some might argue that cece can not make friends with her deafness problem. I say that cece Has no problem of making friends even doe she has hearing problems.I say this because she had made 5 friends with her problem .She did not make more friends she still made more than 1 friend which was pretty then later on she made four more and there names were Laura,Ginny,martha and

    3. They are considered lucky because there is no communication gap between them like there is with a deaf child and hearing parents. The children are also always involved in the conversations and they have a strong linguistic background and more confidence to help them obtain strong leadership qualities. The irony of Mark’s family is that Mark has deaf parents, but still never picked up on ASL because he grew up hearing. When he became deaf he didn’t realize the importance and uniqueness of ASL and being Deaf. He was raised by his hearing grandparents and spent most of his time with hearing relatives even though he has a lot of Deaf ones as well. He did though see his parents communicate…

    Marlee continued on her acting as her successful career and played in various movies and not wanted to hide her difficult of hearing issue. Rather than hiding herself, she exposed her hearing difficulty to the world and used this as her character in all the shows. One of the memorable scenes from “Seinfeld” is that a guy asks Matlin if she is a deaf and she responds without any hesitant, “bingo.”…

    Amy Rowley was a student at Furnace Woods School in the Hendrick Hudson Central School District; Peekskill, N.Y. Amy had very little if any residual hearing but, she was an excellent lip reader. A year before Amy was to attend school a meeting was set up for Amy and her parents to meet with the school administrator. It was a reciprocal decision to place Amy in a regular kindergarten class on a trial basis. Many administrators of the school were to take a course in sign language to help in the communications with Amy. The principal’s office was equipped with a teletype machine as both of Amy’s parents were also deaf. At the end of the trial basis it was decided by the administrators as well as Amy’s parents that she should stay in a regular classroom. Amy was provided an FM transmitter, which amplified the voice of the…

    For my research paper, I read Deaf Like Me by Thomas S. Spradley. This is the story of Lynn and her parents learning to accept her deafness. This is set in the 1960s. During this time, there were fewer medical advancements compared to today, such as the rubella shot. There was also not much of an understanding disabilities and people who faced issues with deafness. Tom and Louise Spradley were a couple that had one child, Bruce. Bruce gets diagnosed with rubella just as Louise finds out she was pregnant. The doctor said that it would not cause too many complications. In April of 1965, Lynn was born. Lynn was “a perfectly normal baby girl”. During the Fourth of July, her parents noticed that while the fire trucks drove down the road she had no reaction as most babies would to such a loud noise. Her parents were confused as to whether or not their baby was deaf or not as she would laugh at funny things they would say or do.…

    When Lucille was asked what it is like to be a part of the Deaf community, she responded that she has always been deaf and she does not know what it is like to hear. As a result of this answer, Lucille does not put an exact answer on this question because she has always been a part of the Deaf community and she does not know life any other way. Although most people would look at being deaf as a disability, Lucille does not. She sees many positive aspects of being deaf and she hopes to keep this positive mind set for the future. Lucille described some of the positives as being able to sleep without being interrupted, she does not wake up to most things, except for her alarm clock that vibrates her bed in order to get her up.…

    When I look at a deaf person or hard of hearing person, I look at them a lot different now than I did growing up. Through my grade school years our school had special classes for students with handicaps and disabilities. We had one student named Josh (He was hard of hearing), who went to our school for a couple of years. He would go to his special class in the morning and then join the regular class later in the day. Josh was one of the first hard of hearing persons I have ever met. He seemed normal but I associated him as having a handicap or disability because he went to the “special class”. So from there I always associated deaf people as having a handicap. Josh would occasionally get special treatment because…
