I wonder what Clark meant when he said he was going to "fix" Jory. Was he trying to save his life? Keep him from pain? "Fix" his deafness?
(Sorry. That touched a nerve. Too many hearing people have been trying to fix deafness for years. Those that are culturally Deaf don't want to be fixed and would be irate at the thought. In honor of Terry, I'll give Clark the benefit of the doubt.)

I completely understand this position and hope that throughout this story I don't minimize the richness of Deaf Culture. I'm aware that some hearing parents miss the boat in that area so i think the point is valid.
Thanks for reading!
