Imagine you are studying abroad in France where many people do not speak much (if any) English. You know enough French to order a cafe au lait at the local bakery but that’s pretty much the extent of your knowledge. A friend of yours speaks English as a second language and has invited you to a small gathering. Since they know you don’t speak much French, you assume most people there will probably speak enough English to be able to communicate with you. However, when you arrive, you realize that nobody speaks English! How would you feel? Would you be upset that your friend brought you to a party where no one spoke your language or would you be excited to learn more French by being immersed in a situation with French-speaking peers your own age? Do you think that Deaf people feel the same way in mainstream English-speaking culture?

Filius aeneae, ascanius, urbem sub monte albano condidit. multos annos reges hanc urbem, quae alba longa appellata est, regebant. deinde rex, numitor, qui unum filium et unam filiam habuit, rexit. suus frater malus, amulius, autem rex esse cupivit; amulius ex regno eum expulsit et filium eius interfecit. filia vestalis virgo (vestal virgin -- see note) esse coacta est (ergo liberi regem malum opprimere non potuerunt). sed! deus mars eam vidit et amavit! rhea silvia duos filios produxit! rex malus, hoc audiens (see hint), eos interficere cupivit et eos in flumen iaci (to be thrown) iussit. pater tiberis (father tiber -- god of the river) alveum in quo positi erant ad locum siccum portavit, lupa eos nutrivit, et pastor benignus et suus uxor eos eduxerunt. ubi adulti fiunt (become), pastor eis maleficium (evil deed) amuli narravit. potestate regni suo avo restituta (having been restored), romulus et remus suum regnum condere cupiverunt. eheu! ob controversiam de ominibus, romulus remum interfecit. sed urbem pulchram condidit, quam, suo nomine utens romam appellavit. etiam centum senatores creavit, qui ob honorem "patres" appellati sunt.

Of all the attributes essential to a respected man or woman or to a respected nation, the predominant characteristic is self-discipline. laws cannot be made compelling people to suppress their desire for power or position. no method of legislating such wisdom exists. as free people, we must face a choice between two types of discipline. one is the self-discipline that is still open to us—the kind that free people and free nations exercise when they select the executives, lawmakers, and judges who will govern them and assure their protection and well-being. the second is a cold-blooded, ill-intentioned, form of discipline that may be thrust upon us by strangers—the discipline of force, terrorism, suspicion, and intimidation—the discipline used in totalitarian regimes.does every sentence following the first in some way support the theme?
