From <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/09/marthas-vineyard-sign-language-asl/407191/" rel="nofollow">Martha's Vineyard</a> to Gallaudet University, the history of ASL and the deaf community is fascinating.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-82259213510874765982022-04-30T12:28:14.035-05:002022-04-30T12:28:14.035-05:00This one reminds me of CODA, the 2021 movie that w...This one reminds me of CODA, the 2021 movie that won Best Picture. CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults, and it does a wonderful job showing what it's like to have to depend on sign language and serve as an interpreter for one's parents at a very early age. The main character's only sibling, a brother, is also deaf. Lots of sign language on display, even via singing since the main character aspires to be a singer. I'm going to see if my library will get a copy or two of this one.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-995401203357400422022-04-30T12:05:57.730-05:002022-04-30T12:05:57.730-05:00It is beautiful to watch signing, and I'm glad...It is beautiful to watch signing, and I'm glad that so many ASL translators are being used now on important announcements. The history is truly amazing, especially as many children were punished for using sign and the cochlear implants are often viewed negatively in the deaf community for various reasons including the need for a surgery that isn't always successful.<br /><br /> jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-66135837489839127932022-04-30T11:34:06.973-05:002022-04-30T11:34:06.973-05:00I'm watching some Youtube videos on ASL and ho...I'm watching some Youtube videos on ASL and hope maybe I'll be able to catch a few signs when I see the film! jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-44343260177975306662022-04-30T11:32:48.866-05:002022-04-30T11:32:48.866-05:00The best part of the novel was learning more about...The best part of the novel was learning more about the history and the deaf community.
