I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…
A comprehensive Web site, found at www.pbs.org, accompanies the film. The site, which launches in March 2007, includes interviews with the Deaf filmmakers whose work is featured in the documentary, while also inviting viewers to submit their own stories, photographs, and films. These will become part of the archival collection of Gallaudet University. A companion book is being published by Gallaudet University…
This book was really interesting and touching. The parents of Lynn, the deaf little girl, were very strong parents and their struggle to be able to make their daughters life as normal as possible was hard for them since everywhere they went the answer the always got was, for Lynn to try to talk and be treated as a normal child. As parents, Louise and Tom did everything they were told and only hoped for the best and that one day their deaf child would be able to talk. Since the beginning when they found out their daughter was deaf they did all the research they could to try and be able to make life better for Lynn. Every doctor and specialist they saw always told me to treat her as a normal child, to talk to her, and to not use gestures or sign language.…
There is an array of reasons that Gallaudet is paramount, to the Deaf and hearing community. The country's first school dedicated to advancing the education for Americans with hearing loss. Gallaudet has paved the way for other Deaf schools and colleges. The great progression of other Deaf schools would not be what they are without the University to shadow after. In fact, it is viewed by deaf and hearing people alike as the primary resource for all things related to deaf, including fantastic educational and career opportunities; open communication and visual learning; deaf history and culture; American Sign Language; and the impact of technology on the deaf community.…

In Deaf Culture, there are two types of literature, Deaf literature and ASL literature. Deaf literature is “composed of works by deaf authors and literary works by deaf or hearing authors, which include deaf characters in short stories, novels, poetry, and plays” (“Deaf Literature”). The Deaf Child Crossing series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/120992-deaf-child-crossing), written by Marlee Matlin, is an example of Deaf literature. The series is considered Deaf literature because a deaf author wrote it and the main character in the story is deaf. Yet, Deaf literature is only one unique form of literature that the Deaf Culture has. The other form of literature in the Deaf Culture is ASL literature.…
GettyImages is where I found this photo that relates to one of the topics discussed about in our readings regarding family and people who are a part of Deaf culture. In this photo, a mother is using the ASL sign, “I love you,” To her baby boy, who is paying very close attention to his mother’s hand while she supports him up with the other hand. The mother is equally as focused as her baby, making sure her signing is correct as she ‘speaks’. As I have learned from my Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing instructor in high school, anywhere below the age of three is the most critical time for a child to learn a language as it will become harder for them when they are older. Studies have shown that children who learn ASL as babies (whatever they be deaf, hard-of-hearing,…
