Article Selection - American Sign Language Literature

• "ASL literature can denote works translated from other literatures into ASL, like Patrick Graybill's translation of the poem 'Not Waving, but Drowning' "- This feels wrong, maybe I need to do some digging into this and find out how members of the Deaf community feel about this particular sentiment.
• "Every spoken language used today originated in a pre-written, or oral form.-This is a gross sentence and has no backing"-I feel like this needs some kind of evidence.
• "Furthermore, many talented storytellers and poets perform works that are never recorded; video captures only a small percentage of ASL literature."- Biased language, shouldn't describe storytellers as talented. One could say some view them as talented by not the article.
• A lot of the language in this article feels informal
• Specific page number in SBP needed for citation 8
• No where does it say where the conclusion for finding storytelling as the most prevalent form of ASL literature, it feels like a conclusion that was made without formal evidence.
• Dandelion is a significant piece of American Sign Language poetry.
