An individual with a disability
For this assignment you will have an opportunity to read a novel, or 
watch a TV show or movie that portrays an individual with a disability ,
 and through the lens of this class, review how that person, and the 
people around them are portrayed.
Is the portrayal realistic? Was pity used at all to make you relate to 
any of the characters? How do you think this novel/TV show/movie 
increases or decreases ableism in society?  How would you change this 
novel/TV show/movie or what do you think should not be changed at all?
Ideas: (but you may come up with your own)

Us Just Live Here 
TV: ** must watch a whole season of a TV show*  Atypical (Netflix); 
Thirteen Reasons Why (Netflix); Speechless (ABC); Born this Way 
(A&E)
Movies: Wonder (coming out this Fall); Me Before You; One Flew over the 
Cuckoo’s Nest; A Beautiful Mind
This must a comprehensive paper telling me all about the characters 
(since I may or may not be familiar with the subject) and about how they
 are portrayed. Use plenty of examples in your paper. The final paper 
must be between 4-6 pages long
