ABC stories are just one of the many forms of ASL literature that Deaf artists create. Another form of written/spoken literature that is similar to ABC stories is called acrostic poetry, or poetry where the first letters of each line spell out a word, phrase, or follow alphabetical order. Why do you think the ABC story form or acrostic poetry form might be helpful for Deaf writers or Deaf audiences? What type of situations might they choose to use these storytelling forms in?

The ABC story form and acrostic poetry are both excellent educational tools to improve sign language skills because they allow practicing ASL while doing an entertaining activity that requires being expressive and applying the imagination to build stories.

Explanation:

Since they are expressive forms of sign language, there´s no way to fully translate or writing it down, so they must be performed in front of those who already understand ASL.

historically speaking, military dictators usually come into power

as the result of a military coup d'etat that was successful against  

whatever form of government existed before.  

sometimes the military dictator was put in place by winning a civil war.  

    occasionally military dictators conduct phony 'elections'  

in order to claim that they were elected by the people.

but there are never any serious candidates running against the dictator.

when a dictator becomes too old for governing his country,

he usually tries to arrange for one of his sons to take over power  

after he is dead and gone.  

when that is not possible, some secret decisions within the military

results in the next dictator taking power

—whether by means of an 'election' or another coup d'etat.  

    countries with little experience of other forms of government

often assume that a military strongman is their natural leader.  

military dictators want to stay in power for as long as possible.  

often the only way they leave office is feet first,

that is, they must die or be killed while still in power  

before the next form of government will take over.
