Discuss the differences between reading Kennedy's speech and then seeing and hearing it. Which experience is more powerful? Why? What are the limitations to each experience? Did reading the text first help you appreciate Kennedy's delivery of the speech?

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between hearing and seeing John F. Kennedy's speech is that when you're seeing it, you might not be concentrated on the speech because of what is happening all around you other than the speech. But if you were just hearing the speech and not being distracted, you would be able to remember and understand what he's saying. So, the most powerful experience is hearing. The limitations of hearing loss or hearing is that you can get fewer jobs and opportunities, loose your ability to communicate to others (unless you and they learn sign language), and you could get pretty lonely and frustrated. The limitations of vision loss or seeing is that you can also get fewer jobs and opportunities, you wont be able to know where to go (unless you practice, maybe around you house), and you won't be able to drive, and maybe read.
