Comparing The Diving Bell And The Butterfly

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is an autobiography of Jean-Domonique Bauby, the editor-in-chief of the French magazine Elle. Jean suffered a massive stroke at the age of 43, becoming paralyzed except for blinking his left eyelid. With this massive stroke, when he woke, it was discovered he had the locked-in syndrome. Jean describes this condition as being “Paralyzed from head to toe, the patient, his mind intact, is imprisoned inside his own body, unable to speak or move” (Bauby, 1997, p.3). In time Jean learns to communicate with the help of his speech therapist, then goes on to write this book. His book is about how he overcome adversity, which is an inspiration to all who hears his story.
