12. How Do Deafness, Lip‑Reading, and Sign Language Shape Caleb’s Life?

Post by smkelly »

Although Caleb works hard at his lip-reading skills, he is most comfortable when using sign language.

Why do you think he chooses to lip-read most of the time? Is there any significance to the people with whom he chooses to sign?

Caleb’s deafness presents problems for him, but can it also be beneficial for him at times? If so, can you think of any instances where his deafness has worked to his advantage?
