Genie's situation was hard, but it would have been harder if she hadn't learned a type of language. I was a bit more at comfort to learned that she was progressing with her language acquisition. I was blown away with the fact that she was able to learn sign language. I found it pretty clever how the scientist tried different learning methods to prove their point about the critical age. I definitely agree with the idea that is best to learn a language before the critical period is reach, but i disagree with how the reach was handle in reference to Genie. Genie became a research instrument, in many ways and that is heart breaking to me!
