Wow! I was so surprised to read that ASL has accents. After reading it made more sense but is still really fascinating. The book says that all people sign differently and they have their own unique styles of communicating. I learned that in the United States ASL is quite alike in all parts. It is easy to understand one another in almost all parts of the US. I also learned that Deaf people will tease one another about their accents. Deaf people would be able to tell if you are a hearing signer or if you are not.
I really enjoyed reading this chapter. It was really fun to read about signing and how they can have accents.
