Nicole Casciola Professor Paoli Deaf Culture and Heritage February 23, 2017 Alandra’s Lilacs Reflection Imagine a life where you were unable to use the phone, had to go to school seventy miles from home, and can’t have a conversation with your elder because they didn’t take the time or effort towards learning your language.

The English 1101 course that I took was nothing less than a challenge. I learned a lot about myself through this academic course, both as a writer and as a student, as it allowed me to be tested in many learning criteria I have never been challenged in or taught. The English language as a whole, especially within the school taking English classes, has always been an easy or simple class for me. Now that I have taken this college class, I realized that it has become more of an obstacle, than just critical thinking.

Meghan Denny ASL 2750 4/26/2023 Deaf Like Me: Reading Reflection When given this book to read for class, I was very excited to get the chance to read it.

While reading Deaf Again, I couldn’t help from thinking, how I would have treated Mark through elementary school and high school. I was amazed when he said that he was so used to reading people’s lips and didn’t even notice he was deaf. I know that when I try to read people’s lips without hearing their voice it is very hard. It’s crazy how we take advantage of sound in our everyday lives as human beings. I know that I could not imagine not having the ability to hear sounds of the world.
After this event I felt like I got a little taste of what Mark had experienced in the book Deaf Again, but the roles were switched I was hearing in an all deaf environment instead of being deaf in a hearing environment like mark was. Although this type of event could have scared me away from future deaf events it didn’t. The reason why I am looking forward to events like this in the future is because I’m going to persevere and improve so next time ill understand a little more and sooner or later ill understand everything that’s going on. Knowing how bad my ASL is makes me just want to get better. Therefore, there are many things I could improve onto make my future experiences better and I’m looking forward to the next
