Hearing the Sweetest Songs

by Nicolette Toussaint Newsweek May 23, 1994

For the first time, I felt unequal, disadvantaged and disabled. Now that I had something to compare, I knew that I had lost something: not just my hearing, but my independence and my sense of wholeness. I had always hated to be seen as inferior, so I never mentioned my lack of hearing.

Unlike a wheelchair or a white cane, my disability doesn’t announce itself. For most of my life, I chose to pass as abled, and I thought I did it quite well.

If I tell, people may see only my disability. Once someone is labeled “deaf,” “crippled,” “mute” or “aged,” that’s too often all they are. I’m a writer, a painter, a slapdash housekeeper, a gardener who grows wondrous roses; my hearing is just part of the whole. It’s a tender part, and you should handle it with care. But like most people with a disability, I don’t mind if you ask about it.
In which line from the article does the author reveal how she would like others to respond to her lack of hearing?
A) “I had always hated to be seen as inferior, so I never mentioned my lack of hearing.”
B) “If I tell, people may see only my disability”
C) “Unlike a wheelchair or a white cane, my disability doesn’t announce itself.”
D) “It’s a tender part, and you should handle it with care.”

Answers

Answer 1
The answer is D, because in all other choices it doesn’t address how she’d like others to address her disability.
Answer 2

D) “It’s a tender part, and you should handle it with care.”

Do you believe the author of "Hearing the Sweetest Songs" considers herself disabled after reading the book?

She experienced her first feelings of inequality, inferiority, and disability. She realized she had lost something once she had something to compare it to—not just her hearing, but also my freedom and sense of being whole. She never acknowledged my hearing loss since she have  always disliked to be thought of as inferior.Her impairment doesn't draw attention to itself, unlike a wheelchair or a white cane. She decided to pass as able-bodied throughout the most of my life, and she thought she accomplished it fairly successfully.

At the beginning of the hunt, the author explains Rainsford’s situation as being “in a picture with a frame of water, and his operations clearly must take place within that frame” (8). How does this metaphor turn out not to be true?


Story is “The Most Dangerous Game”

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is asking us to say that the metaphor is not true.

What if you think it is true? Rainsford is on an island. He must control the situation without stepping off the island. I think it is perfectly apt way of  describing in simple terms, what the  object is.

These two must engage in a battle where the space is very limited. Is that not true?

Answer: I suppose the answer is; He swims around in the water to go into Zarloff's house and ambushes him there. But the metaphor is talking about the setting, not the method of resolution

5. The Sultan decided he would not marry the princess because he realized he loved his son very much and will not kill him to fulfill the request of the princess.

6. The Sultan's wish to marry the princess made his people to suffer.

Explanation:

From the story, we discover that the Princess of Mount Ladang was famous for her beauty and loveliness. The sultan wanted to marry her and therefore sent his nobles with expensive gifts to make his intentions known to the princess. The princess received them well and even entertained them. When they informed the princess, she gave 7 requests that the sultan must meet in order to marry her.

The Sultan met 6 of the requests but couldn't fulfill the 7th one which is to bring the blood of his son who he loved. At this point, he saw how he has made his people suffer because of his selfish ambition.

Answers

Answer:

They are curious about her, and they wonder how she deals with Charles’s behavior.

Explanation:

Laurie's parents want to meet Charles' mother in the short story "Charles" because they want to know more about Charles and how the mother's personality might affect Charles' behavior.

In the short story "Charles," Laurie's parents are curious to meet Charles' mother because they want to learn more about Charles and how the mother's character can influence Charles' behavior.

Thus, Option C is correct.

What are Laurie's parents' reactions to her tales of Charles?

The tales of Charles' misbehavior had Laurie's parents in awe. Every day they ask him questions about Charles, refer to any domestic conflict with the name Charles, and eagerly anticipate seeing Charles's mother.

Charles' mother is anticipated by Laurie's mother to be fatigued and prepared to apologize to her son. Because the text states, "At the conference I sat restlessly, scrutinizing each comfortable matronly face, trying to ascertain which one contained the secret of Charles," readers are aware of this.

That Jesus is king because no one in this world can resurrect from the dead. The death symbols that Jesus died for us and for our sins so we don’t have to live in eternal hell. Some people say “why doesn’t Jesus just come down here and save us if he’s so powerful.” Well he did, and they killed him. God has no rival and no equal. He is king of all kings. People are ignorant and Jesus is willing (and is) loving all of us and saving all of us even if we do not know him. The resurrection shows the power of our almighty God. We see coming to life as something normal because we see it in tv shows or movies, but that cannot have in real life through man. God is in all power. God is the highest.

ASL !! Which of the following two ASL signs incorporate the same letter into their sign?
sorry and aunt
thank you and sister
please and cousin
have and friend

Answers

Answer:

A. sorry and aunt

Explanation:

ASL is an acronym for American Sign Language and it's basically a naturally complete language that is used as a form of sign-language for the deaf and dumb communities in the United States of America. The American Sign Language is visual and gestural in nature, so it is expressed mainly by using signs such as movement of the hands, fingers and face.

Hence, in using an American Sign Language (ASL), the correct sequence to describe a familiar individual is to start with the sign "see" followed by the gender, ethnicity, skin color, height, body type, complexion, and clothing.

The two American Sign Language (ASL) signs that incorporate the same letter into their sign are sorry and aunt because they are both made by using the letter "A."

Some people believe that handwriting is no longer useful in the modern world and should not be taught in schools. To what extent do you agree or disagree?120 words​

Answers

Answer:

I strongly dissagree to this statement because handwriting is a way of comminication for those who cannot use words to speak. If someone goes through a tragic event and can no longer speak they turn to handwriting and write what they saw and that could help the investigation or the people trying to find someone. Handwirting is one of the best things that humans are capable of doing next to talking. People who are deaf also use handwriting to comminicate because they can no longer hear and some of them can't talk. I know this because I myself have a unlce who is 45 and deaf and he uses a piece of paper to talk to me when he needs something or uses sign language but some people dont know that much sign language so handwriting could come in very handy when needed.
