    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.…

    I could see this helping someone in understanding a deaf person in their life. It may help them understand the struggles of a deaf child, such as how hard school can be and how frustrating it can be when you have no means of communications to anyone. It also shows off how important inspiration really is. I also see this as a general audience book. While it may help certain audiences, anyone can read this book and enjoy it in a different way. Whether it be for personal enjoyment or for educational purposes, you will have something wonderful to take…

    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…

    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…

    As I read Deaf Again by Mark Drolsbaugh I can relate to Mark because I’m taking American Sign Language. Mark was born into deaf culture because both of his parents are deaf, however he was associated him self around hearing people. He conformed to the hearing world. I find that very hard to especially having deaf parents. I found interesting that he wasn’t deaf his whole life up in till the first grade he found something to be out of place. When I first took this class I didn’t know what I was getting my self into, if I was going to enjoy it or not. I was like Mark didn’t know how I was going to feel learning sign language if I was going to be able to grasp it. I’m still having trouble with it but I eventually will get it as I practice more. Mark had more poor signing skills because his peers were hearing that he went to school with, as well as his aunts and uncles and grandparents. It must be hard growing up with deaf parents especially being able to hear. He learned to associate him self with deaf culture and hearing culture. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like growing up with deaf parents.…

    Deaf Culture in America

    When I finished reading the book I realized that I had just learned way more than I had been expecting. Just reading the first chapter was enough for me to be awestruck by the intricacies of the Deaf culture, but as I continued reading I realized that the depth and many levels of social structure are so detailed that being able to fully understand them would be simply impossible. I was very impressed with the amount of respect that the word Deaf conveys among the Deaf community. The first chapter to me seemed to be the most interesting. The many stories about Deaf children meeting friends and interacting shed a new light on the way that Deaf people learn to communicate. The word Deaf itself is used to communicate specific things. It not only describes a culture but it can be used to describe a single person or family at the same time. It seemed that the word itself was extremely multifaceted in its usage.…

    through deaf eyes

    Trough Deaf Eyes is a documentary outlining the history of the early deaf communities. The movie illustrates and touches the numerous achievements the deaf community has accomplished over the past years. It is startling to see and know the many obstacles that deaf citizens had to go through here in America to reach “acceptance”; this can almost be compared to years when African Americans were segregated. People these days might think that deaf citizens have it hard, but I’m pretty sure it is nothing compared to those years when it was punishable or looked down upon to use sign language to communicate with your family and friends. It is frustrating to know that deaf people were once forced to assimilate instead of just letting them sign. One of the movies speakers hints a good point when she shares that because she spent so much time learning how to assimilate words like “dog, cat, milk, and ext.” deaf people usually fell behind in their other topics. I can really relate to this and how frustrating it is because when I moved from Mexico to the U.S. I didn’t know any English at all. It was almost like being deaf because whenever I wanted to communicate to my teachers or fellow classmates most of my communication came from my hands since they all spoke mostly English and could not understand what I was saying or asking. Twice a week I was pulled out from my home classroom to go to another “special classroom” where another teacher would teach me English little by little along with another 5 other students. Thanks to that I also fell behind in my other school subjects in class; when it came down to grammar, reading, science, and cursive I sucked. Because of this small relation I found the movie to be really interesting.…

    Deaf in America

    • 973 Words

    This book was mainly focused on looking at Deaf culture of today and comparing it to the culture of the past, and what kinds of struggles deaf people had to endure to get where they are today. The two authors of this book are deaf; one was deaf her whole life and the other became deaf as a child. In my opinion, that was a major contributing factor to why it was so interesting. The reader gets a chance to travel through the history of the Deaf through words from those who have experienced it. It also had a positive impact because the authors let the readers know in the introduction that they are deaf and a brief history of themselves, which I think makes the book seem more personal and enjoyable. Personally, I enjoyed the book because I was not at all familiar with Deaf culture or the history behind it, so everything I read about was new to me.…

    The movie "The Egyptian" (1954) depicts many Egyptian values throughout the feature. Although the movie is strongly based on myth, there is a little historical accuracy to the plot. The movie follows the actions of the main character, Sinuhe, who is physician and companion to the pharaoh, Horemheb. Sinuhe longs to be with Nefer, an upper class noble who takes everything that he offers her, only to leave him with nothing to his name.…
