The Sound and Fury Being a deaf is one of the most rare and difficult situation for many people. Many people have not experience being a deaf or even have deaf related or even have a deaf friend and that what makes deaf being ignored by these normal people. Deaf people have created their own community. Living in this community makes their lives a lot easier than lives in our community. I have never ever experience living or having a friend who is a deaf, but knowing about their lives was one of my most wanted things. Watching this documentary about these two families have opened my eyes about who these people could communicate with others. These two families had the same situation with their children but one of them was negative while the other was more open mind.
First, Heather’s family. The father (Heather) wanted so badly his daughter to stay and don’t implant the cochlear device, While the mother wasn’t sure about that decision. She wanted first to see if she could herself have that device but was too hard because of her age. However, after a while they finally decided to not implant the cochlear device for their daughter and the daughter agreed with them especially after they moved to the other city where most of the people were deaf.
On the other hand, the other family, where Peter was the son and he was too young and implanting the cochlear device at that age will have a great result likely. His parents wanted so badly to give him that device while his grandparents were not with their side. They wanted to keep him living in deaf community. After a while his parents decided to implant the cochlear device for him and the surgery was successful and effective. After a month the result was as they wished and the kid could hear.
In my opinion, the first family. I could understand their fear about how their daughter could become in the future and she might forget
