To determine which quote does not provide text evidence to support the theme of Out of My Mind, we need to identify the theme of the book and then analyze each quote to see if it aligns with that theme.
The theme of Out of My Mind is the power of one's mind and abilities, regardless of physical limitations. It explores the idea that disability does not define a person's intelligence or potential.
Let's analyze each quote to see if it provides supporting evidence for this theme:
A. "I have spastic bilateral quadriplegia, also known as cerebral palsy. It limits my body, but not my mind."
This quote directly addresses the theme by highlighting the disconnect between physical limitations and intellectual capabilities. It supports the idea that the mind is not limited by physical disabilities.
B. "Hmmm, I thought. Claire gets sick in the middle of a crowded restaurant, yet I’m the one everybody looks at sideways."
Although this quote touches on the protagonist's experience of being judged or misunderstood, it does not specifically address the theme of the power of the mind or overcoming limitations. It may provide context or character development but does not provide direct evidence for the theme.
C. “All kids are special," Mrs. V had replied with authority. "But this one has hidden superpowers. I’d love to help her find them."
This quote implies that the protagonist has untapped potential or abilities that others may not recognize. It aligns with the theme by suggesting that the mind can possess hidden strengths or talents, despite apparent limitations.
D. “What your body looks like has nothing to do with how well your brain works!”
This quote directly supports the theme by emphasizing that physical appearance is irrelevant to intellectual abilities. It reinforces the idea that one's mind can be powerful regardless of physical limitations.
Based on this analysis, the quote that does not provide text evidence to support the theme of Out of My Mind is option B: "Hmmm, I thought. Claire gets sick in the middle of a crowded restaurant, yet I’m the one everybody looks at sideways." While it reflects the protagonist's perspective on being judged, it does not directly address the theme of the power of the mind and abilities despite physical limitations.
