Simply because he is a deaf mute, they are able to create their understanding of his being from their own desires.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2973693065008491144-7119586357421286881?l=lansdownesofacinema.blogspot.com'/></div>LANSDOWNE SOFA CINEMAnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973693065008491144.post-66165873834899724812008-09-11T11:31:00.000-07:002009-01-27T19:53:27.074-08:00<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Fall Series Thank You</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div><div>A warm thanks to all who supported us this fall.
