1. Summarize the following paragraph in one sentence. "Take it from me: physical disability looms pretty large in one's life. But it doesn't devour one
wholly. I'm not, for example, Ms. M. S., a walking, talking embodiment of a chronic incurable
degenerative disease. In most ways I'm just like every other woman of my age, nationality, and
socioeconomic background. I menstruate, so I have to buy tampons. I worry about smoker's
breath, so I buy mouthwash. I smear my wrinkling skin with lotions. I put bleach in the washer so
my family's undies won't be dingy. I drive a car, talk on the telephone, get runs in my panty hose,
eat pizza. In most ways, that is, I'm the advertiser's dream: Ms. Great American Consumer. And
yet the advertisers, who determine nowadays who will be represented publicly and who will not,
deny absolutely the existence of me and my kind."
2. Paraphrase the following.
"This kind of effacement or isolation has painful, even dangerous consequences, however. For
the disabled person, these include self-degradation and a subtle kind of self-alienation not
unlike that experienced by other minorities."
3. Create a summary statement of your own about the essay "Disability" in which you quote all or part
of the following
"Achieving this integration, for disabled and able-bodied people alike, requires that we insert
disability daily into our field of vision: quietly, naturally, in the small and common scenes of
our ordinary lives."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
