Though Laurent Clerc had originally planned of staying the United States for only three years and then returning to his native France, Clerc married a former student of his and decided to settle in the states. He did, however, return to his homeland to visit. After 50 years of teaching for the deaf, Clerc retired from teaching in 1858. He died at the age of 84 on July 18, 1869.

He realized that his younger siblings would not play with her because she was “different”. Gallaudet wanted to communicate with her. He wrote the word “hat” in the dirt, in hopes she would understand, and she did. He was determined to find a better way to communicate with her because writing in the dirt was not most efficient. He met with Alice’s father, Dr. Mason Cogswell, who offered to pay Gallaudet’s travel expenses to Europe in hope that he could learn a way to communicate with Alice while he was there. While in Europe, he first lived with the Braidwood family, who owned several deaf schools. Their style of teaching was known as the oral way. The oral way of teaching is to teach the deaf students to speak and read lips, but Gallaudet did not like that style. He then met Abbe Sicard, who was the director of The Institute Royal Des Sourds-Mutes in Paris, France. He signed up to attend this school and found he loved their way of teaching, which was the way of sign language. Unfortunately, after a year, he realized he did not have enough money to attend any longer. He asked one of the students, Laurent Clerc, to join him on the journey back to the United States, and Clerc agreed. Over time, Clerc taught Gallaudet, further, how to sign, and Gallaudet taught Clerc, further, how to speak English. In April of 1817, the first school for the deaf was opened by Gallaudet and

     ASL is essentially the offspring of native new world sign languages and French Sign Language. LSF merged with the indigenous sign languages when it was brought to the United States in 1817 by Laurent Clerc, a Deaf Frenchman who opened the first American school for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. Grammatically, ASL is far removed from English. One common misconception is that ASL is simply silent English; a means of representing English with the hands. Codes such as this do exist, but they are rough hybrids of English grammar and ASL hand

Throughout the novel we learn about Laurent Clerc’s life, and what it is like to go to St. Jacques. Along the way, the school’s director returns from exile, a young boy who can hear but cannot speak comes to the school, and Pierrot is dismissed from the school due to his age. Clerc then graduates, and is asked to be a part of the teaching staff at St. Jacques. He works at the school for about ten years, but by around

Yet again, his grandfather found him a high school, Germantown Friend's School (GFS) where he passed the entrance exam, the faculty at GFS were aware of Mark’s promising academic potential, but they were concerned about Mark’s deafness. He didn’t want to disappoint his grandfather so he decided to attend few classes. After that, it was convincing that Mark would be fine, but in reality, he wasn’t fine. He would have no clue about the discussions in the classroom, most of time he would just be in his own world because he wouldn’t know what’s happening around him. Mark thought that if he nods “yes” or says, “I don’t know” in most conversations, he would feel part of the group. Eventually, he got an interpreter in his classes, but even with an interpreter he would stay a few steps behind from the class. On the other hand, when other students saw the beauty of American Sign Language, they were mesmerized by it and some even went out of their way to learn it. Due to the lack of use of ASL, even Mark was sort of shocked that he was able to comprehend so much information through the communication of ASL. He stumbled through his years at GFS, but still graduated as the only deaf

The technique that Clerc taught was by the use of his hands, which he communicated with French sign language, blended with a bit of signs used by students in the United States. To Gallaudet the language was a inspiration which he called it, “Highly poetical,” but to Clerc and many of the deaf people, the using of sign was natural and useful. This was a result of a created acculturated nonverbal language known as American Sign Language (ASL). As new schools for the deaf spread west and south, American sign language also evolved as well in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois. By the year of 1864, Abraham Lincoln signed a law constituting the first college in the world for deaf students called Gallaudet University and all these schools used sign as a curriculum.

Clerc did not go to school and didn’t learn to read or write. For 11 years Clerc stayed at home instead of going to school. While at home Clerc spent his time either exploring the village, or taking care of the animals, such as; cows, turkeys, and horses. Eventually, at age 12 Clercs uncle-godfather, Laurent Clerc, who he was named after, entered him into the Institut National des Jeune Sourds-Muets, which was the first public school for the deaf in the world. In school, Clerc’s assistant teacher, Abbe Margaron, tried to teach Clerc to pronounce his words, which Clerc had a difficult time with this, at one point his difficulty in pronouncing words enraged Abbe so much that he hit Clerc So hard underneath his chin, which caused Clerc to accidentally bite his tongue so hard, he decided he wanted nothing to do with speaking, and would never again learn to speak. Because of this experience, it later caused Clerc to make his belief that signing is the greatest procedure for deaf

Clendinnen explains why the captor wore the victim’s chalk and down of his kin and why he cried for the victim. She says that the captor did this because the captive was going to die a lonely death among strangers, since he was from outside Tenochtitlan. Even though, the captor’s kin ate from the captive, the captor didn’t do so, because he said he wouldn’t eat “his own flesh” since he too would probably die on the stone and others will eat his flesh in another city. Also, she interprets that the Aztecs didn’t necessarily believe that their were killing the warrior as he was before the rituals. Instead, all the preparation that had gone into this day, from the cutting of the warrior lock to the mock heart excisions, had made him more sacred, and changed him from a warrior into a victim. Once the warrior lock of hair was cut, it was believed that the warrior made his

Inspired by that resolution, the use of sign language was removed by fellow oralism-supporting educators from many programs for the deaf around the world. And, so for over a hundred years, up to until recently, educators from many different countries would continue to gather every five years and deliberate about the state of deaf education, seemingly unimpeded by the shadow of Milan’s controversial legacy. Those educators were mostly supporters of the oral method, until now. In today’s society sign in school has improved. Around 300 sign languages are in use around the world today. People are learning that sign language is a regular language such as Spanish or French. And that it should be taught in school to help benefit deaf and hearing people communicate better. Sign language is broken into three different areas. Deaf sign languages, which are the preferred languages of Deaf communities around the world. This include village sign languages, shared with the hearing community, and Deaf-community sign languages. Auxiliary sign languages, which are not
