Critical Thinking Questions
1. The movie “Sound and Fury” tells the story of a family comprised of both Deaf
and hearing individuals. When faced with a technological advancement that
could restore their daughter’s hearing, the family must decide if they will take

of your life? (For example, maybe you broke your arm and your art teacher
thought it would impair your ability to finish an assignment, however you
learned to draw with your other hand instead and this brought you a great
