Since both of his parents are deaf, Mark's grandfather took care of everything. He was devastated when he heard the news basically acting like the boy had a fatal disease.

Mark came to the realization that all along he had been reading people's lips and he never even knew it.

In E. Shelly Reid's book Ten Ways to Think About Writing she expresses the thought we have all had; writing is hard. It's hard to follow the rules and still be passionate about what you are writing. These rules turn writing to a chior instead of an expressive art form. Reid suggests that we rid ourselves of the rules and focus on three key principals instead, write about what interests you, show don't tell and adapted to the audience. It is this consideration of both the author and the audience that defines rhetoric writing. Reid uses several examples to back up her key principles, but in the end it all comes down to the writer. The author has the power to replace the rule with an idea and pick which ones to use and chose which ones

In Anita Endrezze’s poem “The Girl Who loved the sky” we read about two best friends that meet inside a “second grade room” (1). There with very different characteristics they learn that overall they are more alike than they think. They are able to relate to one another by their views of the world around them. The speaker in the poem is growing up without a father and her friend is blind. Both forced to grow up with an important element missing from their lives. They overcome this tragic part of their childhood and relay on their friendship to feel “safe” (39). As the speaker continues to explain their relationship, we feel their connection. We get the sense that they are able to understand each other and have the ability to view the world around them in the same way.

Many authors use a special technique called “stylistic devices” which helps keep readers interested and entertained while reading. Jen DeLuca is one of the many authors who expresses their stories by using several kinds of stylistic devices throughout the novels, Well Met and Well Played. Throughout her writing, it is evident that the diction, motif, and theme are used to help contribute to both novels. One of the many stylistic devices that DeLuca uses throughout the novel is diction. Readers can see archaic diction in both novels, Well Met and Well Played.

In the novel Now is Everything, written by Amy Giles, imagery is a key component of Giles’ message to the reader. Giles’ use of imagery guides the reader to thoroughly envision and apprehend the main character, Hadley, and what she endures throughout the novel.

Sara's father wanted to control everybody else's lives, in his family, but he did not want anyone telling him how to do things. He felt that he should be able to control the family spendings even though he did not earn a penny. He went against his wife's request and used every penny of their savings to buy the store. His wife asked him, "Promise me that you won't pay out the money till I come to see what you buy." (113). He went ahead and bought the store without letting his wife come down to see it first like he had promised her. He made a huge mistake then, just as he had with his daughters. He did not pick a good husband for any of his daughters. He was fooled not only by the store owner but also by the daughters' husbands. The reason he made all these mistakes is because he would not listen to anyone's advice. If he had listened to his wife, he would not have bought the store because she would have been with him, and she would have noticed something was wrong because she was already suspicious. She says, "Does he really ask only four hundred dollars for all this?...Ask him to give you a pencil to count up all the goods there is in stock." (114). She has more sense about business then he does, but he gets to be in control of all their money. Today, women have more of a say in what goes on with the financial part of the family as well as with who they are going to

As I was reading “Out Of My Mind” it occured to me i never thought of what if would be like to be like Melody, I never though about how hard it is for her. “Out Of My Mind” made me think about something that I wouldn’t even think about even for a second. It drew me in and made me feel different emotions, as I was reading the books it made me feel more and more that I am so blessed to be the way I am.

The first stand out feature, is the use of repetition for the words ‘imagined’ and woman’. Dunn utilizes the device of repetition well making the poems overall sound structure pleasant to the ear. The ‘m’ strung through the first line sound great, between the words ‘imagined’, ‘woman’, ‘makes’ and ‘woman’ again. As well as a great sound in the chiasmus structure in line 4 and 5 with ‘you…imagines’ and ‘your…imagination’ and again used between lines 5 and 7’s with the openings ‘can only’ and ‘can often’. There is yet another use of repetition going along with the pronoun use in the poem. In the first stanza it is the ‘you’ and the ‘your’ that is strung throughout and breaks into the second stanza along with the new repetition of ‘she’, and

Mrs. Cooper told her it was a type of writing that Sam could feel called braille. Cally tried to remember how Mrs. Cooper touched Sam’s fingers to talk to him and tried to talk to him with touch, Sam smiled.

She pulled him to a stump and she knew she had to speak to call for

Sophie Treadwell’s Machinal exemplifies many characteristics of expressionism. Expressionism views technology and industrialism as the tools in materialistic society. The play uses industrialism in Episode One with the sounds of typewriters, filing cabinets, adding machines and the switchboard, which can be scene on page 580 line one. These mechanical sounds begin at the start of the scene and are present until the end of Episode One. Machinal also exemplifies the thematic organization of an expressionistic drama. Each episode is structured as an individual theme, rather than a cause and effect relationship. Page 580 starts the story with Episode One “To Business,” page 587 Episode Two “At Home,” page 593 Episode Three “Honeymoon,” page 597 Episode Four “Maternal,” Episode Five “Prohibited,” page 609 Episode Six “Intimate,” page 614 Episode Seven “Domestic,” Episode Eight “The Law,” and finally page 629 Episode Nine “A Machine.” The message is the most important part of each of these thematic scenes.

In her essay “Throwing Like a Girl,” Iris Marion Young examines why women move differently than do men. She discusses the apparent observable differences in bodily comportment, physical engagement with things, ways of using the body in performing tasks, and bodily self-image of feminine existence. Young makes the argument that the differences between men and women are not caused by a mysterious “essence” or by any biological or anatomical limitation, but, rather, we are socialized into “being” in our bodily space by the situation surrounding our existence.

Anne comprehends Helen's reality since she, herself, is visually impaired. She likewise comprehends Helen's mom's hesitance to standardize Helen, and her franticness to maintain a strategic distance from that choice. Anne starts fingerspelling words in Helen's grasp to show her to convey, and Helen reacts well. Anne acknowledges, in any case, this is a round of remembrance for Helen, that she doesnot understand the fingerspelling has importance outside the game.
