Mental Health in Literature

The audience for my research, “In What Ways Does Literature View and Represent Mental Health and Mental Illness,” comprised educational scholars alongside literary students and people who study young adult literature. Therefore, I integrated literary analysis and demonstrated my examples through recognizable young adult novels. The paper demonstrated that literature portrays and creates public opinion about mental health while establishing itself as an instrument for mental health comprehension and stereotype challenge: Mental Health in Literature.

The analyzed narrative approaches coupled with character descriptions proved efficient in reaching my primary goal. This research helped me develop extensive analytic and critical thinking competence that specifically focused on literary analysis techniques. My synthesis skills grew, as well as my capability to create organized arguments using multiple information sources. The main difficulty during this process involved handling mental health sensitivities while creating sensitive analyses about this issue.

At this point in the course, you’ve put the work in and have thoroughly committed to being both a writer and an academic—at least, for the duration of your college career. How do those two identities work together, and how are they distinct from one another? In “Writing with Teachers: A Conversation with Peter Elbow,” Elbow addresses what might be perceived as differences between being a writer and being an academic. He states that a reasonable goal for his students is to:

• end up saying, ‘I feel like I am a writer: I get deep satisfaction from discovering meanings by writing— figuring out what I think and feel through putting down words; I naturally to writing when I am perplexed—even when I am just sad or happy; I love to explore and communicate with others through writing; writing is an important part of my life.’ Similarly, I would insist that it’s a reasonable goal for my students to end up saying, ‘I feel like I am an academic: reading knowledgeable books, wrestling my way through important issues with fellows, figuring out hard-questions—these activities give me deep satisfaction and they are central to my sense of who I am.’ (An Insider’s Guide to Academic Writing 617)
