Part A retro:A fashion, decor, design, or style reminiscent of things past. pg 1 lavish:To give or bestow in abundance; shower: lavished attention on his customers. pg 7 Part B: I really like this book, immediately I was hooked. Although there are a lot of characters and i sometimes get confused. I think it’s really cool how they live like celebrities and they have millions of dollars.

Post 2 for "The Sea Inside"

This movie drastically compares to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Both of the main characters are quadripligic's, they both agree that bening locked in is horrible, they both write books. But one main difference is that Ramon can speak and he articulates that he wants to die. Bauby also wants to die to an extent but he is not so blunt about it.

Post 1 for "The Sea Inside"

My reaction to this movie was shock. I could not believe that Ramon wanted to die, but after listening to his point of view and how he saw a quadripligic's life undignified i understoon why he wanted to die. Personally if i was one of his family members or friends i would not of killed him no matter how badly he wanted it. It is a sin to kill someone and or to take your own life away.
