The author refers to what filmmaker?

There is no filmmaker mentioned in this excerpt.

What is Bauby's lifeline to the outside world?

his friends and former co-workers

the television and his smartphone

How does Bauby categorize his visitors in terms of how they communicate with him?

nervous, reticent, and meticulous

Why does Bauby cry during his first trip to Paris?

He is contrasting his past life with his present life.

He is in a lot of physical pain due to traveling from the hospital.

He wishes that his wife and children were with him.

Bauby does not cry on a trip to Paris.

Why does Bauby compare his second trip to Paris to a "rear screen production?" Why does it feel like the sights of Paris are being projected behind him?

He no longer feels a part of Paris city life.

He is facing backwards in the van that drives him throughout the city of Paris.

He hates movies and wishes that all the move screens in the world were at his back.

Bauby's comparison makes no sense.

What determines the order of Bauby's alphabet? Why would an English speaker probably have a different alphabet?

The letters are organized by frequency of use in the French language. Commonly used letters differ from French to English.

French has a different number of letters in their alphabet than we have in English.

The order of the alphabet is the same in both French and English.

Maybe if we all watched the television show "Wheel of Fortune" we'd understand better?

Why might Bauby use a diving bell as a metaphor for his paralysis?

Perhaps Bauby felt trapped in his body, unable to communicate or live the life he was used to.

Perhaps Bauby felt a rush of adrenaline like a person diving off a high dive in the Olympics every time he was in a new situation.

Perhaps Bauby didn't know how to swim so the diving bell clearly depicted that as a non-swimmer he felt like he was drowning now everyday.

The metaphor really doesn't seem to make sense; perhaps Bauby is trying to depict the confusion of his mental state after he became paralyzed.
