decided to take the challenge head on. She claims that one of the most difficult obstacle that she faces as deaf actress is having people think of her differently. Producers and directors often thought less of her and her skills because of her hearing loss. After being passed on multiple rolls because of her deafness, she figured that something had to change. Marlee started working on being more outgoing and courageous than she was before. She knew that in order to stand out and be noticed for something other than just a hearing loss, she had to be unique. This seemed to work for her as she has had a very successful career so far. When you think of movies, deaf characters are often hard to come by. This is why it’s so astounding of what Marlee has made of her career. The barriers that she broke through will only help the paths of the ones to come after her. She actually was the first deaf actress to win an Oscar and the youngest as
The upper middle-class parents believe in teaching their daughters to be competitive, so they can build their leadership skills.

They do not want their daughter to be defined as “girly girls.” I Personally agree with Sheryl Sandberg because she experienced teaching her own daughter, “unprecedented set of educational and professional opportunities.”

In the years of war, most women had to assume the care of the farms and businesses while their men went to war. These women were the ones to organize care for widows and orphans, in addition to organizing protests against some merchants held back hard to find items. The Daughters of the revolution also collected money, medications, pewter for bullets, and food for the army. The women who became the cooks, laundresses, and nurses for the army were camp followers. They were the poor wives, mothers, and children that followed the army around, doing jobs for half rations. George Washington recruited the women into service, even though these were
Many people never realize or take much notice on what deaf people go through in life, but by watching the movie "Love is Never Silent", hearing people are able to have a clear view of what it is like to be deaf in the hearing world. Many different perspectives towards how deaf people live, socialize, party or work are built by many distinctive types of people. As the movie "Love is Never Silent" shows, Margaret and her family are isolated from their community. They aren 't allowed to sign in front of the hearing because it 's strange and abnormal. Seeing a deaf person sign during a time where being different can make a person look like an outcast makes hearing people pity the deaf and end up treating them as ignorant people. Although deaf
