As I push forward in my ASL studies, I still take time to record the new words taught in class with illustration. This week’s homework starts with the chapter on Conversations. As I watched the example of a man calling his friend to re-book their reservation at the restaurant, I saw the ASL hand sign for Postpone.
My friend Judy Stark suggested I use Oz’s White Rabbit (who infamously shouts how he is late). This idea was perfect as last class, our teacher Georgia Whalen, also covered the ASL hand signs for Halloween. Dressed as the White Rabbit, this young chap in his Halloween costume and makeup shows one of the ASL hand signs for Postpone, Defer, Delay, and Put Off.
The two F hands face each other as the one moves forward with one or two arcs. The visual of a fixed appointment moved forward to another date.
