When we watched the TED Talk on the blind man one thing I wrote about in my double entry journals stuck out at me.  I can't get out of my head the fact that throughout the entire twenty minutes this man talked about his vision impairment and would say the words "I see" or "I saw".  Such thing is physically impossible for a blind person to do but, the way he goes about sharing his stories and memories in this ironic vocab somehow works for him.  As I talked about in my last post he talks so highly of his disability and doesn't let it effect his life in a negative way and I think that's another reason why he uses this sort of vocab.  To him being able to see means something different because he was born blind and has no prior knowledge of what it really means to see.  He uses the word "see" meaning read.  He talked about he could see the different images and words that were read to him.  It's hard for us to imagine exactly what he means though because he has never "seen" anything in his life so we wonder what he must picture in his head or if he pictures anything at all.  This is way I chose this double entry journal because I just don't entirely know what he meant my saying he can "see" and maybe there really isn't an answer.
