A Lesser God Conflict

In the movie “Children of a Lesser God” , there is many conflicts between deaf and hearing people.so of the conflict in the movie was that teacher (Lee) couldn't get a student or Sara (janitor) to want to learn to speak, the conflicts between Sara and Lee in ther personal relationship, and Sara and her mother because her mother put her in deaf school and forgot about her. There was many conflicts but these where the ones that meant the most to me in the movie. There is many conflicts between the deaf and the hearing. One conflict is when the teacher Lee tries to get all the students in he class to learn to speak and to particapate in the talent show from parents night, but there is one student that is not particapating and is not learn to speak, he has tried everything but keeps trying. Lee also tries to get the janitor Sara to learn to talk. Sara doesn't want anything to do with learning to talk and Lee keeps trying to get her to learn to talk. Sara tells Lee that “don't do anything, you don't do well.”

She does and all is good until they start having disagreements about somethings. One is about children, Sara wants deaf children and Lee wants hearing children. Sara tells ASL with Lee about the babies and then he says that deaf children will be ok, but you can tell the look on his face says that he really does not want deaf children, he wants hearing children. Another agruement that they have makes Sara leave because he want he to talk to him. She doesn't like the way she sounds that is why she doesn't talk, she ends up leaves and going back to her mothers
