MIREKU MICHAEL CBI

For my CBI, I decided to connect and make a comparison between the physical body that exists in today's world and connect it back to what we have discussed throughout our primary readings this semester.
Throughout chapters five and six, we see a few instances where an altered physical appearance is present. For example, madrina gives birth to a monstrous baby with two heads.
"…I learned my marina had given birth to a monster."
This video brings up a controversial issue of what society thinks of about this people physical appearance in the book and today's world with these defects? and what the authors trying to tell the world?
We also meet a man named Riad Halabí, who suffered a cleft lip. He was a very sweet man and treats Eva well.

Cleft palate is the most common birth defect that occurs. It happens in about 1 in 700 births. It is not a fatal problem. Most children born with clefts do well in developed countries. They may have difficulties with feeding initially, but with proper guidance, parents learn to feed their child with a cleft, and the child learns to compensate for the cleft during the first months after birth. Clefts are repaired within the first year of life, usually by a surgeon who has extensive experience and training with this disorder. We believe that there are genetic causes in some children, we believe that there are environmental causes in other children, and in many children we suspect there is an interaction between genetics and environment. And by environment I mean the environment in which the baby develops in-utero, and the environment in which the mother lives. We know that exposure to alcohol abuse predisposes the baby in the womb to birth defects that may include cleft palate
