Writing Homework Help

Find an example of disability representation in the media. This can be a fictional character in a movie, a TV show, or a book; a news story (visual or print); or a first-person account of disability on a media platform. Write a 750-1000 word assessment of this representation. Who is being represented? What is the main “storyline” being shared? Is it a positive view of disability? Negative? Both? Did you learn anything new about disability or the experiences of disabled people? What messages about disability do you think someone might take away from this representation? How might this representation be different if the person had another type of disability (e.g., psychiatric, intellectual, etc.)?
