This week in class we discussed disabilities in both of the stories written by Eli Clare and in the episode of "Glee." I found it interesting that the episode and the stories both sent very similar messages. For example, in the episode we they discussed Artie's disability and how some way overlook how difficult it may be to function in a wheelchair. We seen the disabled cheerleader trying to find a way onto the team.

I think that what Clare and the producers of Glee were trying to convey is that people with disabilities deserve the same rights and treatment as all others. The way society tends to look down upon these people is unfair and that is something that needs to change. Although a disability may hinder the pace at which someone can accomplish something, it does stop necessarily stop them from being able to do it. The episode and stories were messages being to out to society to make us come to this realization.
