...coming together for a celebration. I was able to witness every type of communication a Deaf person can utilize. I saw how Deaf-Blind receive information and I couldn’t peel my eyes away. The performancy were amazing especially the dance interpretation with ASL. I meet so many Deaf people from all over the nation even meet someone from Cuba who knew Cuban Sign Language but not ASL that was a new experience sharing signs but her and a Deaf women were able to get by really really interesting to see 2 different Sing Languages but able to understand one another. Experising my thoughts again on the way communication was shared during the performances was jaw dropping: multiple interpertors for specific use either, translating for those needing Enlgish, ASL for needing ASL but on both ends of the stage and the amazing teaming for voicing. We discuss a lot how much a conflict between the hearing world and Deaf but for the first time I was able to witness both worlds not segergatated but intertwinging with one another, I witness people speaking enjoying themselves and Deaf people speaking enjoying themselves but what I enjoyed was Deaf people weren’t entirely outnumber outside Deaf events I’ll run into a Deaf person here or their always outnumbered by hearing, not on this day Deaf people flourished. It was a wonderful experience that I’m blessed to have had an oppurtnity to be apart...

...Dakota Cole Schnitker Pre-AP Enlgish II 10/22/15 In Antigone, Antigone and her sister think differently about how they should deal with the conflict of burying Polyneices. Antigone and Ismene love each other and do not want to hurt each other, but Antigone is determined to get justice for her fallen brother. This conflict pulls the family members apart, but pulls them back together in the end. “And now you can prove what you are: A true sister, or a traitor to your family.” Antigone told Ismene that if she would not help bury Polyneices then Ismene would be a traitor to her family. Family means a lot to Antigone. Antigone is willing to risk being publicly stoned to death in the public square if she is is caught tampering with Polyneices'...

...and taken. This was the belief at the forefront of every explorer that set foot and planted the flag of their homeland into the soil. Captain Verrazzano of France, was one such explorer who wrote the letter "Verrazzano's Voyage: 1524" found in The American Tradition in Literature by George and Barbara Perkins. With details of the land and the native people he encountered, it is clear that although he was fascinated by their lifestyle, he also observed how they freely "gave away" their possessions to his crew for little in return (Perkins 21). Verrazzano is also quick to point out in his letter, that the skills of the Natives could be improved with the knowledge from the Europeans. As North America was explored by the Spanish, French and Enlgish, American Indians experienced tremendous change in their lives. One such change came in the form of disease. Native people of America had no immunity to the alien illnesses that were brought by the explorers and colonists. Some that proved to be especially deadly to the Native Americans included chicken pox, influenza, measles and smallpox. It was not long after a village was infected before many natives lost their lives. The "hidden enemy" of bacteria from the Europeans devastated the population of Native Americans (Kincheloe). With weakened tribes, there was no protection against enemies, or man power for hunting and gathering. Along with disease, European colonists also brought technological advancements such as steel and guns to the...

...Baljot hayward enlgish 921 potty The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. Dogs were not always like this. Overtime humans have domesticated dogs into making them loving pets. At one point dogs were able to pee wherever they want, eat whatever they want, and do whatever they want. Now we provide our dogs boundaries and train them to become our best friends. Eating and playing comes naturally to dogs just as it does to humans when they are born. Just like human babies one thing that does not come naturally to dogs is being potty trained. Adding a furry litte friend to the family sounds like a lot of fun and many would not think of it as such a difficult task to do since all dogs do is eat and play which obviously does not need to be taught to then but the hard part comes when it is time for them to relieve themselves and they choose do to this task on your living room floors, bedrooms, and bathrooms. For most dog owners who have little to no dog experience potty training can be a very difficult task to do but I am here to make this job a tad bit easier for you and your furry friend. Potty training your dog or puppy requires far more than a few stacks of old newspapers, it calls for vigilance, patience, plenty of commitment and above all, consistency. The first step to potty training is introducing the spot you would like your dog to go potty...

...Enlgish 101A Mary Jaffe- Sullivan 1/19/2011 Laura Klein Let him Dance The word transgender seems to have stirred a whirlwind of controversy that has everyone burning up the phone lines, blogging, tweeting and using every form of media to argue whether or a not a man should be able to dance with a woman on a national dance competition. Chaz Bono should be able to partake in Dancing with the Stars without ridicule and be judged solely on his dancing technique. Activists are calling for boycotts of this number one rated show because Chaz Bono is one of many contestants this season. The controversy here is Chaz’s right to compete in peace on the show so that he will be judged by his dancing abilities only and not by his transgender identity. What is it that has everyone scared? Is it the fear of the unknown and lack of understanding of what being transgendered means? Transgender by definition is a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the persons sex at birth according to Webster’s, or simply put the inside doesn’t match the outside appearance of a man or women. There are a multitude of debates circulating around Chaz Bono dancing on this season’s Dancing with The Stars that it needs to be addressed. The “anti-Chaz” organizations state “he could be contagious to our children”, also that it will affect children negatively and is anti-Christian. These reasons are simply invalid and uneducated. Therefore Chaz Bono should...

...Meaningless sounds full of meaning Diego Ramos People happen to know what someone else means when they are talking; however, most of them do not comprehend what words are: how they take a role to become meaningful and how they can change. As a matter of fact, they can change in a total different word or just the way they are pronounced; thus, this is something that is related to the phoneme. The phoneme has material to talk about and throughout this work, one can see what the definition of what this one is; in addition, the phenomenon of the allophone is explained and treated; also, the way of how not understanding something can affect the way either to communicate or to express one’s self is seen. At the end, but not the least important, how an “insignificant sound” (as some people might say) can affect completely meaning of a word is mentioned, too. All of these topics has something to do with the phoneme and that is something that shall be taken into account in this essay. First, it would be convenient to define what a phoneme is, and that is why in this piece of work we have got three different definitions in order to summarise the basic ideas and points one can say about this term. In order to start defining, there is Skaderar’s definition: in Skandera’s definition, phonemes have a meaning in the speakers language competence and performance, and they are the smallest and distinctive unit in speech (Skandera & Burleigh, 2005, p. 31). At the same time, there is the...
