Character Analysis Of Marlee In Switched At Birth
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.”
Furthermore, Marlee was one of the characters from the television series called “Switched at Birth,” which has a plot of two girls and one of them is deaf. This television series is slightly different from the other television shows. First, the plot contains a person who is a deaf. Second, by having a deaf person in the story, the show revealed

    Character Analysis: Chris Mccandless

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    Susanna Kaysen Character Analysis

    This quote is about Susanna Kaysen finally reading a book about her given diagnosis. I do believe she was given an accurate diagnosis and that it was necessary for her to spend some time in the mental hospital because she did try to kill herself even though she never admitted it. I disliked the fact that Kaysen had to be in the hospital for almost two years for her to actually try to get better. Instead of arguing and being upset about being in the hospital she should have gotten over it and started putting an effort to get herself out of there. In my opinion I don’t think Kaysen was in dire need to go to a mental hospital. Kaysen did take fifty aspirins, but I don’t believe she was intending to kill herself. She only took the aspirins because…

    Mattie Curtis: Character Analysis

    I, Mattie Curtis, have already done the “unacceptable”. By hitting Rufus atop the head in order to yield his disgusting hands from touching me, I have disobeyed my master. This is not accepted in any form during this day and age. I am a Negro and Master Hawkins is obviously a white male, making him superior to me. I have set myself up for no good, having made such a rash and stupid decision. It is simply that the thought of Rufus and I together makes me utterly sick. I could never imagine being acquaintances with him, much less having a child with him! The good Lord wouldn’t want me to lose something as precious as my virginity to a man whom I am not married to. The Lord, my body, and my family are the only things I still have to myself in…

    Me And Earl And The Dying Girl Character Analysis

    Not everyone in the world has confidence in their body or who they are. If you do not believe in yourself and the things you do, nobody else will.

Being confident gives you so many things like happiness, freedom from fears, anxiety, and much more. In Jesse Andrew’s novel, Me and Earl and the Dying girl, a lot of the characters go through tough times because they are not confident in themselves. When having poor self esteem in life, it may lead to many tragic moments, just like the main character Greg Gaines.

    Marlee Matlin Leadership

    Not only that, but also.... Marlee Matlin showed herself to be a strong willed person. When working on tv shows whether it was acting or dancing, she received many letters of appreciation from people whom she had given confidence to and shown them that deaf people can do everything that hearing people can do, except hear. Matlin played a role that brought out her comedic side in her, she said: “This role let me put out the funny side of me. There’s nothing in it about deafness, It just happens that I am deaf. It’s time for me to explore something different.” Matlin later on played a role as a deaf counselor in a tv show with other deaf actors. The hearing actors on the show also learned sign language because one of the main characters is deaf, and it also makes communicating easier. They use sign language in most if not, all of the episodes. In a few episodes, they just sign, they don’t speak at all. But, of course there are closed captions.…
