Reaction The Film And Your Name Is Jonah Essay

I watched the film And Your Name is Jonah. My initial answer to this photograph in the beginning was frustration. This boy was clearly not meant to be in a mental hospital for the mentally challenged. He had the all-encompassing capabilities of a normal child and it was not so hard to see. I dont understand how a child of his capabilities could be misdiagnosed as having mental problems when clearly the only specific he had was not interview. It makes me so frustrated because a child who frankly had so much to translate was trapped in his body without any way of expressing himself.As the movie continues, his p bents find out that he is deafen. His misdiagnosis had him in a mental organisation which makes me question if this foreshadows or depicts how deaf people were treated before they are diagnosed. As if they were treated as if they were impaired. It feels like a entrancement and offensive to anyone that is deaf. I also felt controversial about the views of deaf people fr om ignorant hearing people and how ASL was frowned upon. ASL is a form of confabulation. How else would deaf people communicate when the English language is taught to us from birth? Individuals who were born(p) deaf cannot learn the English language like a hearing soul. If augury language is so frowned upon how else would a born deaf person understand what is going on in the world. Jonahs parents farther along in the movie decided to touch on him hearing aids, alone that only made the noise louder and it wasnt clear to what was being give tongue to still. The doctors even recommended lip reading because sign language was frowned upon.Even vocabulary therapy failed. With all these signs of defeat, I felt very frustrated with Jonahs parents. Sign Language is the obvious answer. If your child cannot communicate with you and clearly sign language is the best option then learn and teach your child. It was the obvious choice that would help better communicate a parent with their child. If ASL was taught in the beginning to Jonah there wouldnt have been situations in the movie where communication was essential. For example, when Jonah was being yelled at from a car to get out of the road. He could hear led to him falling off his bike. some other example is when Jonah couldnt understand that Spiderman was a good make fun. He ended up putting his brothers Spiderman in the oven to get rid of him. Miscommunication between Jonah and his brother resulted in this. another(prenominal) example is when Jonahs grandfather gets a heart flame and died. Jonah didnt understand and searched for him after the funeral because no one could let off to him what was going on. Finally, when Jonah got lost and was taken to a hospital by a police officerthe doctors and nurses thought he was dangerous and crazy. other example of miscommunication.
