The author made a great decision in writing Out of my MInd.

  She has a great sense of humor, ’’I tried so hard I farted!’’

  She gives us an idea of what it would be like to have a disability, ‘’I can’t talk, I can’t walk I can’t feed, myself or take myself to the bathroom.’’

  I love her use of 1st person, it’s gives us a much greater example of her feelings and emotions. ‘’Since I never had trouble thinking or remembering, it actually sort of surprised me that I couldn’t do stuff. And it made me angry.’’

  These things helped me understand and enjoy the story much more.
