1021 Words5 Pages

Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice) is about Ishida, who bullied Shouko for being deaf in elementary school to the point she had to transfer away. Despite the entire class taking part in being mean to Shouko, they instantly blame only Ishida, and alienate him just as he did to Shouko. Now in high school, Ishida has developed anxiety and depression, but runs into Shouko at a sign language class. What does he want out of talking to Shouko again? Will anyone forgive him? Will he be able to make amends? The first concept in this movie is Social Interaction. This is a big theme in the movie, since Ishida doesn’t trust most of the people he encounters in his daily life. This is represented in the movie by a sketchy, purple ‘X’ overlayed onto one’s face. The only …show more content…

She used to use her notebook, but after Ishida repeatedly throws it into a pond, she resorts to sign language. There is a part where a teacher offers to teach her class sign language so they could talk to Shouko, but all except one refuse. Despite Shouko’s efforts, most of the class rejected her. Since she can hear just a little bit, there are times where she tries speaking...to no avail. Several people express their irritation with Shouko, and it leads to her feeling like a huge burden to everyone. The second concept is Group Dynamics. Ishida had two friends as a kid. One kind of tubby, and the other that frequented long, floppy sleeves. They would always hang out together, with Ishida leading them and picking on the tubby one, while the floppy-sleeved kid observes and retorts. However, after Shouko transfers away, the floppy-sleeved kid turns it on its head and leads the others into bullying Ishida. Speaking of which, the entire class joins in on claiming Ishida was the sole cause of Shouko transferring away. They all did something to make Shouko’s life tougher, but once the teacher pins all the blame on Ishida, the class joins in on doing so. (clip

  • Argumentative Essay On Sign Language

    373 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sign language is a course that many schools do not offer as an elective or a foreign language credit. The assistant principal of Seton High School, Susan Hollenbach, explained that many smaller and private schools are not able to offer Sign Language as a course because they are unable to find the staffing and resources for the class. School size and student interest is a big factor in deciding what courses will be created because all the electives and languages are student-driven. This means that if more students show interest in taking ASL courses, it is more possible for it to become a class. Also, the administration has to decide whether or not the certain course will take away from other classes and possibly diminish the class size of another class which

These may be interpreted differently by Russians, but for us Americans, we know the true meaning behind them.
