In Act 1 of Le Marias, the two main characters prove to have vastly different personalities. These characters differences are apparent from the onset of the film. The director shows Elie, a worker at this factory, going about his chores and not speaking to anyone. In opposition to Elie the two other workers go about their work in a very sociable manner while translating for the artist and the owner of the factory. The gregarious and affable attitude that the assistant has exaggerates the quietness of Elie. Due to the assistants seemingly outgoing manner, he is driven by a personal inclination to approach Elie and talk to him.

“ ‘No. No,’ she said. ‘Don't come. I won't see you. Don't you come. I don't want to hear from you from you. Ever. Ever… it ends here for you and me. Say your goodbyes…’ ” (Hosseini 55).

The impact of amputation can have many emotional effects on amputees. Many amputees go through a period of low-self esteem and emotional adjustment after losing a limb. Some amputees view themselves of having a problem. This viewpoint is not relatively new, it has been the mindset of amputees for centuries. In the feudal era, knights often had prosthetics made into their armor to appear as if they had all their biological limbs. However, these prosthetics were virtually useless. These views that affected prosthetics can be easily seen today. Cosmesis is a type of prosthetic that can model real limbs with extreme detail such as skin color, freckles, and even hair. Besides the limitations of cosmesis, many amputees report that most people can not distinguish the prosthetic from the real limb (Bowers). Cosmesis is an ongoing study to provide amputees with a life-like prosthesis that offers function and mobility. The desire to gain independence and acceptance of the prosthesis may also influence the advancements of prosthetics.

I don’t think that people without handicaps realize how big of a deal it is to be able to jump into the water and keep yourself afloat. To be able to swim and play with your kids or friends is taken for granted. Obviously, it is not only swimming that is tough for people with handicaps. Swimming is just one more way we can work to bring them some joy again. I really enjoyed this article and thought it was a great choice, because I think it is wonderful that people are constantly working to make people with handicaps lives easier. I have not personally dealt with someone in my family with a disability, with some motor function like their legs, but I had to be on crutches for two weeks when I was in middle school, and it was hell. If I simply hated dealing with crutches for two weeks, I cannot imagine people who have had them for years and years to come. Making life easier and more accessible for these people is a great use of time and money. I love everything about this practice, except the fact the insurance will not cover prosthetics. I believe in a few years once it becomes less expensive and the business grows that insurance companies will finally jump on board. They may seem expensive now but it is almost a brand-new technology. They will always have high startup costs. It is the next step in medical technology and many people suffer from these disabilities, so we must help them every way we can. When people suffer from a disability like this, they simply don’t get enough exercise because it is much more difficult and dangerous. Without giving these people access to this leg is cruel because they will only get in worse shape. I hope that Lasko can swim comfortably with his kids from now on, and now we just need to keep on advancing with this technology. These prosthetics will simply keep on improving being able to do more and more for the user. I have seen a prosthetic arm that can move

From peg legs and hooks to mechanical arms and legs, prosthetics have improved drastically since the dawn of time. Prosthetics have allowed amputees to obtain more mobility and flexibility in their lives. The advancements in prosthetics have also led to a better understanding in the area of amputation and in the assembly of the prosthetics themselves. The question is what allowed the advancements of prosthetics to happen in the first place? The answer lies within technology and its role in the medical field. Technology has allowed for prosthetics to not only look like real limbs, but to function as though they are real. Progression in the fabrication of the prosthetic limbs from wood and leather, to now programmable microprocessor controls
