Chapter 60
this chapter talks about how internet could destroy the deaf culture. I don't think that it would, but in the book it says how the deaf dont even want to install a fax machine because its a distraction and a waste of time. but i think that it would be useful and an easy way to keep in touch with the deaf and hearing. there is no verbal conversation necessary. even though they cant hear the thing on youtube, there are word captions and also sign videos. and with web cams, they can sign to people anywhere. I think the internet is a good idea
Chapter 61
this chapter talks about if and how are deaf people still stereotyped. it names many different things that they have apparently been called, I have never head any of those names. I know hearing people do often stay away from the deaf because of the speaking barrier but i would never think to call them those names at all.
Chapter 62
this chapter talks about if ASL has literature and it says how deaf people have taken place in all kinds of literature such as poetry, essays, biography, and fiction. and yes, the deaf culture does have a deaf literature and i think that is awesome.
Chapter 63
this chapter talks about films that are or are not appealing to the deaf even without the captions. and i can understand how they like these movies. action films are pleasing even without the noise, subtitled films are obviously good to read, and if you read the book and then watch, you would definitely know what was mostly going on through the whole thing without hearing anything.
Chapter 64
this is asking if all deaf people can move like her nephew to music and just because the deaf can't hear, doesn't mean they can't see or feel. they can feel the vibrations of the music and they can see other people moving. it's not like they are an outcast to the world
Chapter 65
do deaf people appreciate music? i never actually thought of this but i would think that they could if they wanted to but if not then they didn't think twice about it. some people like the feeling of the rhythm through their bodies and others care nothing for it. some deaf people are even musicians. i think that is awesome!
Chapter 66
sign songs still do not make much sense to me, but to deaf people they make total sense, i would think. they know what is being said and how it is being said. its a beautiful language to watch even if you do not understand it. Songs are usually signed in English sign
Chapter 67
i think that this question is very strange, it's a good question to be answered though. I would never think that the deaf are different in facial features at all. you still look like your family regardless if you can hear or not. i would never think other wise.
Chapter 68
I can understand this question because when you see an interpreter, they are usually wearing dark or solid clothes. but this is to not distract from the signing. i don't think that deaf people have to wear dark colors at all, because usually when youre having a conversation with someone, you are right in front of them. like i said usually, not always, sometimes you could be talking to a group and wearing a solid color would probably be better for that.
Chapter 69
i thought this question was odd. because no one likes to sleep with the lights on. and everyone when they are children are scared of the dark. but i can understand it because sense they cannot hear, they obviously pay more attention to visuals therefore they could be more sensitive to light, but i wouldn't think so. I know i dont like sleeping with the lights on either.
Chapter 70
this chapter talks about if deaf people are more visual than hearing. i don't think that they would be more visual necessarily, but they definitely use that sense more than we do so they could be sharper with it. it's not saying they see better than the hearing does, but they are more alert with their peripheral vision and such than the hearing would be.
