Jean-Dominique Bauby

In the diving bell and the butterfly, there were multiple sources of hope for Jean-Dominique Bauby. Some of the sources were his family, past memories, and the alphabet & speech therapist. The diving bell and the butterfly was a touching book to read because the reader was looking into Bauby’s past and the present through his point of view. Every chapter was short and had a meaningful touch because Bauby had to blink in order for his therapist to transcribe his words. I kept thinking throughout this book how many sessions it took to write this memoir. The main sources of hope for Bauby was his family who would visit him and the alphabet.

Before being introduced to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, not once had I ever heard of “locked-in syndrome”. Likewise, Bauby mentions that the only reference to locked-in syndrome in any type of literature (as of 1996 at least) was in The Count of Monte Cristo, a story that many people of my generation have failed to read. Alas, having finally read The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, I can now say that the amount of insight I have gained on locked-in syndrome is quite substantial. I did not…

reminiscent of Eastern culture and their relation to the aforementioned Grande Odalisque,8 they are likely to be harems.

Supervisor Even though I haven’t had the chance to work with my Site Supervisor, Dr. Jayne M. Leh, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with her from time to time and sort of getting the feel of the kind of person she is. From her academic accomplishments to her tremendous work experience outside the field, she has led a rewarding life. I’d hope as one of her interns at Camp Noah, I could undertake any task that is given to me with success and lead by example. Camp Noah is a week-long facility…
