Deaf Man's ASL Storytelling, 'Lightning Bolt'

Показать описание

Who doesn't love stories that take our breath away, specifically when they are based on our memories? In the Deaf community we share unimaginable experiences from our everyday lives. We use visually expressive ways using ASL.

So, I would love to share the story one of my favorite memories from when I was young!

My family loves to go on roadtrips all over the country together. My older brother and I loved to stare at the lightning as it flashed everywhere. And then something unexplainable happened in front of our eyes! Come and watch my video for the rest of the story!

Learning ASL; even though I was only able to pick out individual words this was a great benefit to my learning! Please keep doing these! Thank you!

Thank you Dack! I want to second what a few people have said: these videos are a tremendous help to me while I study ASL. Thanks for doing this! Be well and stay well!

When I first went to deaf camp, I fell madly in love with a girl who signs very much like this, and would often just stand or sit there in awe of her, simply watching her sign, while my heart swelled with affection. But at first I couldn’t understand what made her so fascinating. At that same camp, I had my first couple of chances to tell an interesting story myself, and the excitement was quite salient. Then I realized it was because of her ability to tell stories in such a big, dramatic way. For me, watching her sign is like staring at an orchestra of diamonds. The point is, is you sign a story the right way, even people who dont understand a word will still be fascinated. And those who do understand, may be absolutely transfixed.

I remember as very little kids my brother and I bike riding through a storm, the lightening came down about 300 feet maybe half the distance to the end of the block. I stayed on my bike but my brother fell. I remember crying so hard and helping him get on his bike, when we came home my mom took care of him hahahaha. He was a good older brother too. It was crazy. I thought we were gonna die. I cant imagine it actually hitting your car. Awesome story! I wonder if that gradual return of color to your eyes from the bright white was a scientific thing behind the extreme exposure of electric energy/light. Keep up the good work 💪
