Darkness at Noon.

   Harold Krents' article, "Darkness at Noon", primarily adresses behavioral and social issues that disabled individuals inquire. He uses personal experiences throughout his life showing how people have treated him differently and under estimated him, specifically when he had applied to forty-six law firms only to get rejected "not based on my ability but rather on my disability." I agree with his conclusion, just to be viewed as every "normal" person. When I was about 14 my dad started to let me express my love for body modifications.

  I have always loved body modifications. In my eyes it is just another art, and you're expressing yourself freely. When I started getting tattoos and piercings, I didn't really think about the diffrent obstacles I would have to face having them. There came a time when I started looking for my first job. Since I didn't have any job experience, I went to a few of my  friends to get some helpful tips before applying. They told me everything that I needed to know, and then I faintly remeber one of my friends Alicia saying, "Biggest thing of all, take out your piercings and cover up your tattoos." I was in complete disbilief, the thought of either horrified me, asking me to do that was like saying "Hey Brianna, you should be ahamed of yourself." I don't ever want to be anything other than me, and just because I may partake in body art does not mean I'm uneducated or unskilled, it just means I love art. I understand now  that you have to look a certain for specific fields, and I accept that. But very much look forward to the day when I become a writer /director, therfore I will never have to worry about putting red lipstick and C6 cover-up on my knuckles and chest before I have go into a job for a interview.
