Answer:
From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs
The claim is "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.
Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.
Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.
This is an example. None of this really happened. (I have a dog)
Ex:
<em>"It was a crisp, cold, dark night if I remember correctly. I was rushing my parents out the door and into the car so we could go to the vet. Our cat got hit by a car a couple blocks away and someone brought her to the vet. I was relived because if our cat didn't have a microchip they probably would've taken my cat! I was so scared. My heart was beating super fast, my palms were sweaty. Anyway, as I got there my stomach sank. I hated the vet, the doctor, etc. The vet asked if we were the owners and then took us to the room he was in. He wasn't hurt too bad. He broke his paw, but he'll manage. Moral of the story, is I will never forget how scared I was."</em>
