Dear Sophia :
I am amazed by your post, “Actor makes history at oscars,” because the actor that won the oscar is the second deaf person to ever win an oscar.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “What he likes about this movie is that the family is not portrayed as limited or as victims” I think this is important because it shows how the actor did not want to make his family seem as a victim.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I liked how you wrote about the oscars.

Dear Sophia

I am intrigued by your post, “Actor Makes History at Oscars” because it shows people that even if you have a disability or your suffering from an illness, you can overcome those struggles and make a difference in your life and others.

Once sentence you wrote that stands out for me is, “Troy Kotsur is the second deaf actor to receive an Oscar for acting.” This stood out to me as significant and also made me wonder who the first deaf actor to receive an Oscar is.

Thank you for your writing. I look forward to reading posts from you because I like the way you can make things interesting.

Hello Sophia

I am moved by your post, “Actor Makes History at Oscars” because I think it is very inspiring and amazing what Kotsur has accomplished despite the limitations many of us could not imagine overcoming. This is a great message to anyone who has goals but is doubting themselves because anything is possible when you dedicate yourself.

I loved when you said, “I like the fact that they are showing how people with disabilities are not any less or different than people who don’t have any” because you are absolutely right. Underrepresentation in the media is very real for many different groups so including them more would help get rid of stigma and discrimination.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing more of what you write about because your posts are very delightful and your perspectives are very interesting!
