    Nicely done, good at explaining a cochlear implant will not change her from a deaf person to a hearing one, and will not keep her from fully participating in deaf culture, but will help her expand the horizons of others, as well as expand her own world.

    It is very well written, but if it is meant to be penned by a six year old, it sounds WAY too advanced.

    Oh I know.. I wasn't exactly sure how to do it, but it had to be at college level. *shrug* but hey, I got the point across.

    Thanks!

    There was a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie recently (I think) staring Marlee Matlin and Steven _____ (the dad from Seventh Heaven) and it was about a couple who was battling the same decision for their son. I never even thought about there being any argument against a device that would improve or allow hearing! I thought their storyline was a bit swayed because the wife's father was a deaf activist if there is such thing.

    Anyway, I think you did well, Rachael. And it all made sense to me since I had seen that movie.
