Blindness ( Alicia Van Dorn)

Blindness is the condition that people have when they receive no light to their eyes which enables them to see. This failure of eye sight leads people to experience no light and sight. Total blindness is recorded as NLP which stands for "no light perception." This disability is what Alicia Van Dorn of the novel "Things Not Seen" had to deal with. Blindness results to people having to use canes to find themselves around things. Alicia Van Dorn used a white cane for direction.
Some people believe that if one sense isn't functioning properly, their other senses are extraordinary. This is what the writers of the film "Daredevil" believed in. Daredevil is this blind man that has 1 failure but 4 prestigious senses. Although he is fictional, Daredevil uses canes to not only fight crime, but to also lead himself to places. People with this disability wears glasses unfortunately, to cover their eyes since they look so bad. People are usually blind because of accidents or poisons just like how Daredevil is blind.
