Diving Bell & The Butterfly #4

a.) People need to categorize things because the brain takes in so much information that without organization, no thought process would be able to take place. The brain needs to put things it categories to be able to recall information fast enough to make it useable by the organism. 

b.) I can honestly say that I do not hoard anything, or if I do, it is so ingrained into my mind that I would not even consider it hoarding, but more a necessity of life.

c.) People give others they don't know nicknames. Bauby was making a reference to the fact that he knew Fangio's habits and a bit about him, but he doesn't actually know Fangio as a person.

d.) Regrets are important is early life because they serve as deterrents to what is most likely bad behavior (e.g. the burn on ones hand after touching a store) That burn will serve as a reminder not to touch the stove.

e.) Bauby's hearing is altered by his condition which causes certain sounds to be amplified. If he concentrates and pays attention he is able to hear the flapping of butterfly wings.

f.) Bauby hates Sunday because everyone leaves on Sunday and most of his care attendants are not working and there is no one there to change the TV for him.
