As I began reading this book, I had already learned about the immense power of effort and where the right amount of concentrated and well preformed effort could take anyone.

Because his disability is visibly evident, it is openly discussed as if he were not in the room. Even before this exchange in the school, Marlin is seen reinforcing the idea of disability to Nemo as attached to his deformity. When Nemo gets stuck in a coral, his father tells him “you’ll never get yourself out of there. I’ll do it.” On the first day of school, Marlin has a discussion with the teacher, telling him that Nemo has a small fin and tires easily. A scene later he barges into the field trip, lecturing the teacher that “he isn’t a good swimmer” in hearing distance of all of Nemo’s classmates, then telling his son “You think you can do these things, but you just can’t!” In spite of his own signs of post traumatic stress
