The film, Sound of Fury, has two very passionate discourses working against each other throughout the entire movie. Even though these dicourses that are pitted against one another are part of the same family, it doesn't seem like either group can relate to each other.
The parents of Heather, who are both deaf, decide (after some pondering) that they don't want their daughter to get a coclear implant. Heather's aunt and uncle have decided that they want their young son to receive the coclear implant. There is plenty of bickering between these people, especially the parents of Heather's father and the parents of Heather's aunt.
Both sets of parents are very passionate about how they feel when the topic of coclear implants comes up. They are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. I still can't comprehend Heather's parents' decision to not have her daughter receive a coclear implant. To me it seems like abuse, no joke. How can you turn down a chance for your child to hear? Heather will grow up surrounded by the deaf community, but she will eventually realize that all of the opportunities for a deaf individual don't come close to the opportunities for a person who can hear normally.
