signing

Okay, this isn't exactly about class, but I wanted to talk about it on here anyway. On Sunday I went to what I thought was only going to be a book signing for Marlee Matlin's new children's book. but it ended up being a reading too, with Marlee signing, and her co-writer reading from the book. It was very intersting to see how much emotion was put into her reading. I had never seen a book signed. She also mentioned something during it that really got to me. Somebody asked her why she wrote the books. She explained a few different things, one being how reading was a way for everyone to come together, it was a universal language, with no one needing to know how to sign, and it didn't matter whther she could hear or not. That was a poignant point to make to me.
