Rebekah TaussigA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
Rebekah Taussig sometimes breaks up personal stories per chapter, starting a story at the beginning or middle of a chapter and then providing its ending at the end of the chapter. Discuss two examples of this technique. What is its effect, and why do you think Taussig used this storytelling technique?
Taussig discusses several films that offer negative portrayals of disability, as well as a few positive portrayals. Compare and contrast two films, one negative and one positive. How do the films differ in how they address disability? How do they reinforce or combat ableism?
Taussig teaches students about disability but does not address teaching students with disabilities in Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body. What are issues that students with disabilities face in terms of accessibility and kindness? Use the text to support your answer.
