Hello everyone!
My school puts on an ASL play every year and i was casted as Pain who interprets for hades. The play is a throw off of hercules but in our version, hercules must bridge the gap between hearing and deaf culture. I'm in ASL 1 and I was casted in a play with an ASL 3 part. I'm a pretty good signer but my translations aren't so good. The script says " As it should be. As Aristotle once said: “deaf people are incapable of being taught, of learning, and of reasoned thinking.” Who wants the Deaf to be able to communicate anyway? Who wants these people who think themselves gods, that live high above us to share with us their thoughts and opinions….after all, what have they done to help us except to sit in the heavens of EYEth and grow fat, while the people of the EARth grow lean and hungry?! I will be the hero that feeds their hunger for knowledge and success. But right now, what we need is someone to get in the way of Herc’s success so that he never makes it back to EYEth. If he does, he will be an even more powerful ruler than his father Zeus. I cannot let that happen. " I would love help from you guys in translating this paragraph.
Thanks!
