April 3rd, 2014 Quick Write and Classwork

There are a plethora of things that make life worth living for me. My family, my life, God, and myself (Not in any particular order). Without these people I would have nothing to live for.

3 Observations:
-A man who lost his life.
-A man who just began his life.
-A mixture of emotions

2 Questions:
-How does this man feel about the technology that helps him communicate his thoughts to others?
-What (besides what the technology displays) does this man think about when the different nurses, doctors, family etc. move him around?

1 Feeling:
-Bittersweet


1. How did Bauby write his book if he was paralyzed (especially with the use of only one eye)?
2. What do you think was Bayby's motivation to continue to stay alive and write his memoir as opposed to committing suicide or giving up on his life?
3. Although some may think that this is obvious, do you think Bauby is in a current state of depression? Explain why or why not.

I think what makes life worth living is knowing that someone out there can live their life the way that you can. Knowing that someone out there has it worse than you. Knowing that someone wishes to have a chance at life the way that you do is moving to me.
