Three Days to See

This short story deals with how people take advantage

of having the privileges to see, hear, and speak. Some

people, unfortunately, are blind, deaf, and mute. These

unfortunate people take more time to appreciate life and

the wonders it has to offer. The author, Helen Keller, is

one such person who is blind, deaf, and mute. She believes

strongly that people, who are fortunate to have such senses,

take life for granted. She also believes strongly in living

life to the fullest, meaning, accomplish what you can today

instead of leaving it for tomorrow.

An example from the story of how people take life for

granted is when one says, “I know that I will die one day,

but it will not happen for a long time.” This is when

reality strikes. Death comes in many ways, the worst is

when it is unsuspected and surprising. One can die at any

moment, no matter how healthy or in what physical shape he

is in. Building on that idea, Helen came across many

instances relating to the previous one mentioned. She had

asked her friend what she had seen after taking a walk

through the woods, and her friend replied, “Nothing in

particular.” This is also a perfect example of how people

with the gift and ability to see, take it for granted.

As stated before, Helen also believed in living life to

    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…

    In Jorge Luis Borges’ piece from Ficciones, “Blindness” and Annie Dillard’s piece from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, “Seeing”, we read writers’ perspectices on their own blindness. The writers contradict the common fallacies our culture has about blindness with their own personal experiences. Although both writers portray blindness in a positive light, each writer uses his disability to enhance his lives differently. Borges depicts his loss of sight as an opportunity to learn new things about life and himself, while Dillard uses her blindness as a way to better appreciate nature.…

    Throughout the story, Cathedral, by Raymond Carver, readers are shown the other side of blindness. In the world, one may assume that there is just one type of blindness- being sightless. “My idea of blindness came from the movies. In the movies, the blind moved slowly and never laughed. Sometimes they were led by seeing-eye dogs. A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (Carver, 1). The meaning of blindness goes much deeper than that. Through the actions and words of a character, the husband in this short story, readers are shown how much ignorance, fear, and confusion one can have for someone who has literal blindness. All these negative feelings towards the blind man leads to the husband finding the blindness within himself.…

    Thomas K. Holcomb’s book, Introduction to American Deaf Culture, shines a light on the deaf community and the culture they experience. The intended audience, however, is the hearing. It gives the reader insight on deaf experiences and how the atmosphere is different, even though the environment is the same. All aspects of culture are covered. The book starts off with how the culture is formed through the 5 hallmarks (p. 17). Next, the book focuses on the identity of a deaf person. This is not only limited to, labeling from the rest of the world, but also by how the person sees himself. After, the book discusses the core values the deaf community has. These values are much different when compared to the hearing community. They focus on the person engaging as a full member of society. This is done through communication, interacting, and having a sense of self-worth in the community (104-107). Eventually, literature and art are mentioned. The classifications are difficult to place. There are American works, but with the growing awareness in the recent year they have earned their own Deaf category. This is important to the deaf community because it allows “Deaf people’s lives to be better…

    Virginia Woolf was born in 1882 . When she was only 13 years old, her sister Julia died resulting in Virginia's first nervous breakdown. In 1904 Virginia's father died and three months later she suffered a second breakdown and attempted to kill herself . In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf but in September 1913 attempted a second suicide. Since then she suffered constantly from fits of depression, diseases and several breakdowns, until she took her life in desperation in 1941. In his autobiography, Leonard Woolf describes Virginia's fear of criticism as so great that it directly caused fits of depression and rage. For Virginia Woolf madness was not the hideout of a genius mind, on the contrary, it endangered her very existence as a person and an artist ': . . . whenever she finished a book, a condition of mental exhaustion settled in and for weeks she was in danger of collapsing. ' Virginia Woolf is a classic example of a truly inspired, but very ill artist. Her illness never was the source, but always a direct result of creativity.…
