This week in class we watched an episode of Glee, since I have never seen the show I didn't know what to expect. It was a good show and in this specific episode Artie was in a wheelchair and therefore different from everyone else because of his disability. Although I think that this episode was suppose to relate more to the Eli Clare pieces but I related it to Lourde. In Lourde's essay it talks about speaking your mind and standing up for what you believe in. That although some may ridicule you and not agree with what you have to say, you will suffer if you do not say it, inside you will begin to grow angry and upset. Artie never said anything and then when he finally said something everyone could tell that he had been holding it in and becoming upset. Also, Lourde talks about being a warrior because she fought breast cancer, Artie is also like a warrior in a sense. He had to be in a wheelchair unlike everyone else so he had nobody to relate to, and also the school was not very handicap accessible which made things even more difficult. I think that watching Glee put the lessons from this week's classes into a better perspective and something we could really enjoy. Cassidy Weeks Post 9
