Shawn and Christopher Nolan are similar in many ways. The reason they are similar is because they are both brilliant and no one really recognized it, until they began to pay attention. Shawn is in a wheelchair and his body is in a structure that he cannot move. Based on the article Christopher Nolan had cerebral palsy which means he cannot control his arms or legs, which means they bodies are basically in no use. Shawn on the other hand, also has no control. They are both paralyzed. But their brilliance is beyond normal. Shawn has a memory that no one is incapable to have, and a sense that animals only have. While Christopher Nolan had a talent to speak to people through his words, by using a stick to type on a typewriter with a unicorn stick attached to his forehead. Both of these males are very brilliant, and yet they are still being misunderstood, because everyone’s opinions control their thoughts based on the males, which is not right. But yet then again, no one will understand until they hear them out.
ReplyDeleteThe ways Christopher Nolan is similar to Shawn from Stuck In Neutral are that they both have a birth defect that prevent them from controlling his arms and legs. They both also like to use their imagination and they also want to express their thoughts. "Knowing that Christopher's imagination worked perfectly fine, his parents encouraged their partially paralyzed son to think and dream."
ReplyDeleteChristopher Nolan and Shawn are similar because in the article it stated that Christopher control his body movements and in speed it also sated the same facts. In the article it also stated that he was gifted and in the book it said that Shawn was gifted with remembering every thing he remember. That is how they are similar.
ReplyDeleteSome ways Christopher Nolan is similar to Shawn from Stuck in Neutral is that they both are paralyzed. Christopher and Shawn had brain injury when they were born. An example “Nolan had cerebral palsy due to a brain injury at birth. The condition usually causes people to be partly paralyzed.” Christopher and Shawn both use their imaginations when they communicate with other people.
ReplyDeleteI think they are alike not just because they are disabled because they are smart. A lot of people would think they are dumb because there paralyzed but there not they have talent and they may not be able too control there body but they can think. Shawn is always thinking in the book and plus he narrates it , he remembers everything also . And Christopher can write very good and his poetry Is amazing . His mother said that my son “has amazing talents”.
ReplyDeleteShawn and Christopher Nolan are alike in many ways. Nolan and Shawn both have cerebral palsy. Shawn couldn’t control anything BUT Nolan couldn’t control his arms, legs and he couldn’t speak. Shawn couldn’t either. They are also different because Nolan is a grown up and Shawn is a teen. Both Nolan and Shawn both were born with brain conditions that led to this. Shawn’s family did also help him to learn but in his eyes he felt that he was a dummy due to what others said. Nolan got help a lot. The help that he deserved and he got it. His condition didn’t differ him from who he was and what he did. That’s the difference between Shawn and Nolan. Rest In Peace Nolan <3.
