Louis Braille is the Man Who Revolutionized the Blind World

In his memoir, Planet of the Blind, Stephen Kuusisto details his experience of living with a disability of sight, including his initial denial of his legally blind status. His tiring work at passing and his parents’ own denial and support of his refusal to be openly blind both stem from and reflect views of society at large. Members of Kuusisto’s life, just like many people today, ignore blindness and the challenges those with visual impairments have and continue to face. It’s not until he’s struggled for years pretending to see that he fully accepts his legal blindness and begins using a cane and a guide dog.

The excerpt from the novel Under the feet of Jesus, by Helena Maria Viramontes, shows the development of Estrella from being angry to understanding what she needed to accomplish to succeed. Viramontes uses figurative language, selection of detail, and tone to show the changes Estrella’s character goes through to figure out how beneficial it is to know what the letters in the alphabet looked like in order to be able to read and to be interested in wanting to read.

Deaf-blind can also use a screen Braille communicator, a small portable device that enables them to communicate with sighted people. Alternate communication is print on palm, the person communicating with the deaf-blind person prints large block letters on the other persons hand. Each letter is written in the same location on the persons hand. This is a way for the deaf-blind to communicate with the public.

With new technology comes new ways to let disabilied people use more items. An example is, voice recognition screen readers can help peole who are blind. For instance, eye-tracking programs can make using computers simple for people who can´t move their hands.

Louis Braille become blind after accidentally stabbing himself in the eye with a tool. Both his eyes became infected and he couldn’t see at all as a young child in 1814. As a twelve year old he invented braille, a way for the blind to read using raised dots. Later he brought this way of reading to a school for the blind in Paris. The director of the school Dr. Pignier (a supporter of braille who also helped develop braille) was forced to retire. His assistant Pierre-Armand Dufau became the director. Three years later Louis Braille was forced to return to his home town of Coupvray when he came down will tuberculosis. When he returned he found that Dufau had banned all students from reading braille books, and Dufau had burned seventy-three books at the school. Dufau believed that braille gave visually impaired people too much freedom and if it continued there would be no use of seeing teachers at the institute. If not for a few teachers who kept braille books secretly and kept teaching braille to students braille could have disappeared

Braille – This is helpful for blind people to be able to read and understand what they may need to read or even to communicate to people if they are also blind. There are lots of items that come in braille now.

Douglas’ old master, Anthony, had decided to let Douglas go to Baltimore to live with Mr. Auld. There he met Mrs. Auld and she began to teach him the alphabet and had him start reading and writing simple literature. This made Mr. Auld angry and he discontinued the small lessons.

The idea to learn to write was suggested to young Douglass during the time spent in Durgin and Bailey's ship-yard. Douglass observed ship carpenters writing the name of the part on the timber. As he watched ship carpenters writing names of the parts of the ship, Douglass learned the names of the letters. He practiced to copy and in short period of time learned to write the four letters used by the ship carpenters: A, F, L, and S. Since that time Douglass continues his learning by asking any boy who could write to demonstrate his ability of making letters. In fact, Douglass made letters he already knew and asked other boys to beat that. Such approach allowed young Douglass to learn to write. As his little master Thomas went to school, Douglass gained access to his copy books and practiced in writing until he succeeded in learning to

As an illustration it showcased an insight right of the beginning with: “And his being blind bothered me. My idea of blindness came from the movie, the blind moved slowly and never laughed”, this very quote showed me the author did not care this man was blind nor did he have an understanding of blind people. He made his own guess based on watching a movie and this feeling was true to him as this is what he believed. This quote also showed me that he

When it was written in 1925, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, by Anita Loos was heralded as a tremendous novel. It was seen as cutting edge and insightful, yet somewhat risqué in its portrayal of Lorelei Lee and her escapades. I can see how this may have been thought at that time, seeing as how women were looked at in such a different way then they are currently. The fact that a women with as little know-how as Lorelei can manipulate men the way that she does, leaves no question as to who is the superior gender in Loos’ mind. While the books is quite amusing, and does have many strengths, if it is looked at in the context of women’s struggles with issues such as domesticity, sexuality and socioeconomic standing it seems less and less like such

Many people make an assumption they are not blind to life itself whether ignorance plays a part or pride. In Cathedral by Raymond Carver, it describes a few myths that society has portrayed and opinions of the visual impaired. The main focus is getting to know the person before drawing a conclusion. Its not fair to anyone to be neglected whether you are visual impaired or have the functionality of what is considered to be a normal human being.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Photoshopping in the United States has a positive side and a negative side. Unfortunately, the media and advertisements took photoshopping too far and showed off its evil ways. Some companies have made their models look incredible, which isn’t ideal in the minds of the children viewing those particular photos. Teenagers spend a majority of their time on their smart devices scrolling through the popular news feeds on their favorite social media apps constantly being reminded of extremely skinny models with perfectly clear skin. They dream of looking the way all models do on the cover of a magazine, however they need to realize how fake and unnatural everything they read or see can be. Some of the features models show in their “perfect” display can look unnatural
