The first time I went to the Day Care Center I saw the people with disabilities. I felt sorry for them and I was afraid to touch them. From now on, the more I go, I start to feel more comfortable.
   The way the children played was not like I thought they'd play. I wouldn't expect them to play because they have disabilities, but they were able to play like kids who don't have cerebral palsy. They played with toys, doll houses, and cars.
   Today they learned about colors. They learned how to combine colors to make new paint colors. they mixed red and white to make pink. After that, the teacher drew a heart for each kid and then colored the hearts with paints.
   I play with them sometimes like I play with my little sister and I like them very much.

   What prejudice did the author show when she first visited the Day Care Center?
   Anyone can have his or her life take a different direction as a result of an accident. random violence, or an unexpected illness Read Consumed by Darkness and consider how it relates to the previous work.

   Consumed by darkness, after 17 years of sight, I lost one of my senses. I question myself - do I give up or do I start all over? The first thing I must learn is more about my handicapping condition.
   Blindness is a handicap that will set a person back only if that person allows it. there are many ways that a blind person can function in society. One of them is learning how to read and write in Braille. There are special schools for advancing in education. And there will be a sharpness in my other four senses. Hearing will become an ideal tool that I will benefit from. My sense of touch will become more keen to what I feel or am feeling. My sense of taste will become more aroused by the candies, cakes, food, etc., enabling me to enjoy them with satisfaction. Aromas of what I can't see, but can smell, also will become sharper.
   I feel that we the people of the United States should stop stereotyping handicapped persons as a lower race. we are human and have the same feelings as anyone else. we should have equal rights to work, because it doesn't matter what type of job it is, it's how well you do it.

   What prejudices have you experienced?
   How do your feelings compare with the author's?
