Different from Bauby, Lucy in Autobiography Of A Face gets me a new attitude to treat fatal
illness. As well as The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, I wondered the meaning of the topic.
Why Lucy wrote an autobiography of her face but not wrote an autobiography of her life
struggling with illness. With this question, I kept reading her words and paragraphs carefully.
And I made a contrast between Lucy and Bauby instinctively. The attitude and emotion Lucy
faced with her broken jaw is entirely different with Bauby’s attitude. As far as I am concerned,

pony party, slowly and clearly, she began to tell her story about her jaw. In her book, I have

was excited by the idea that something really was wrong with me, that I hadn’t been overacting
the previous night, as I had allowed myself to believe; I was authentically sick----no school
definitely. I felt cheerful.” When she suffered from toothache and got lockjaw, she didn’t upset
about the illness, but excited for no school. It reminds me of my cause of asthma. My senior year
at high school, I was awed by the dimensionless task and struggling with uneven success to

assimilate and survive. In China, allergy to smog is one of the commonest causes of asthma. As
an asthmatic, I cannot cope with the smog and air pollution. One day, the air pollution in my
hometown had reach three or four times the acceptable levels. So unfortunately, I got sick
