How `Ridicule` relates to myself

No man can ever say that being deprived of his rights to express himself and to be heard is perfectly fine . You 're experiencing a headache ? You tell your mom about it . She gives you medication . You get better . You 're boss gave you a task . You 're quite sure that finishing the task will not be possible especially with the time frame he has provided you . You approach him and tell him honestly and ask him for a lengthy extension Compromise has never been that easy with honesty . You 're husband has

been ignoring you . You tell him , Dear , is something wrong , he speaks out . You reconcile differences , everyone is better off . This is not the case though for deaf people . Things are more tedious , things are not that simple and people do not usually understand

What was Ponceludon 's motivation ? To speak for the oppressed , to represent the lowly , and to do what no one from his town has the ability to do . He cared for his people and was willing to go the extra mile for their needs . His wits and aristocracy was not enough but his determination was his inimitable advantage

PERSPECTIVE

Relating the movie more to myself , the presentation of HYPERLINK "http /en .wikipedia .org /wiki /Charles-Michel_de_l 27 C3 89p C3 A9e " \o "Charles-Michel de l 'Ypye " Charles-Michel de l 'Ypye 's work with deaf people and the development of sign language garnered much ridicule from the nobles . However , de Bellegarde , a physician and Ponceludon 's mentor in the tricks of the trade in the court , asks what should be the gesture to say bravo . Ponceludon rises and claps...
