The purpose is to teach the audience that the deaf are just like other normal people and to give the audience empathy and understanding for these people. The film is effective in showing the two young people (one of them is deaf) having a normal conversation through post-it notes. The pieces of conversation and the smiling and nodding interactions occurring between the two people before her disability is revealed show us that her deaf state does not define her. At the end, the viewer is left with a positive feeling that breaks a potential barrier that the audience may feel between themselves and the average deaf person.
