The Answer Must be a Paragraph During lunch you overhear your classmate Sarah making fun of another classmate, Martin, who has a mild form of Down syndrome. The things Sarah said about Martin are untrue and cruel. You know Martin to be a kind, funny, and smart person with a really big heart. What would you say to Sarah about the fact that she made fun of someone with a disability?

Hey Sarah I noticed you were saying some unkind things about Martin and I just wanted to talk to you about that. Down symdrome is a very serious disorder and shouldn’t be joked about so casually. Martin is a great person and minimizing him to something that he can’t even control is disrespectful and cruel. You should get to know him and then you’d see how great he really is. We shouldn’t make fun of people for things they can’t control especially someone with a disability, they already have to go through a lot and it’s not worth it to add on to the hardships.
