Just like everyone else

 Just like everyone else

This week my reading group have been reading a book called Just like everyone else written by Lona McNaughton. The story is about a girl called Zoe and she is deaf so she uses sign language to speak to other people. 

In the book her friends and Teachers learnt how to speak sign language and know they can have conversations in sign language with her.  What I found interesting about this book is that most people that are deaf speak sign language using their eyes and hands to speak to other people.

Some people that are deaf can not hear other people properly like Zoe. For most of the time when she’s in class. Zoe gets help from a special Teacher of the Deaf or a professional interpreter. But there’s also a roster of

students who interpret for Zoe when these people aren't at school. Deztinee started signing at the age of seven, when she first met Zoe at Saint Pius X School in Titahi bay. The girls walk to school every morning. On the way, they sign about all sorts of things: netball, school, Harry Potter, and their favourite songs. Although she was born Deaf, Zoe loves listening to music. She can feel the beat, and she follows the lyrics by watching sign language videos.

In conclusion I think that sign language is very important to the Deaf and other people that know how to sign a lot of words.

THE END.
