Outside Reading #5

This outside reading is about The Unspeakable Odyssey of the Motionless Boy. The story is pretty depressing because he doesn't really have a very good way to communicate his feelings and thoughts. This would make me really frustrated because it would take like 5 minutes just to say, "I am cold." Because he cannot move, I would imagine he would be very claustrophobic. This would happen to me and I would freak out. I think it is interesting how he loses his ability to spell. It is a good thing that they came up with the brain reading system because if he couldn't spell, the only way he would be able to interact with people would to gesture yes or no. The story lightens a little bit when they hint at a possibility of learning how to speak.
