FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283). |
There are many different mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia which is a mental disorder that is "typically characterized by separation between the thought processes and emotions...hallucinations, a fragmentation of personality, and motor disturbances" (Kelly 7). |
There are four subtypes of Schizophrenia, one which is the undifferentiated type that is "the most prevalent sign...the person's emotions may lack depth, and he or she may show an absence of mental activity" (Kelly 9). |
Another subtype of Schizophrenia is Hebephrenic type which "the hebephrenic person displays childish or bizarre behavior and may have delusions, which are false beliefs, or hallucinations" (Kelly 9). |
The third subtype of Schizophrenia is Catatonic type which is when "the person may not move or talk for long periods of time and may assume a pose much like a satue" (Kelly 9). |
The lasty subtype of Schizophrenia is called the Paranoid type which is "characterized by delusions of grandeur, illogical thinking, and hallucinations" (Kelly 9). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
This is a great book source because it goes into detail about each subtype of Schizophrenia. It also talks about how and where to get help, and what it is like to have to be living with Schizophrenia. This book also talks about the history of Schizophrenia and the brain genetics and chemistry about the Schizophrenic mind.

The bias is favoring the people that are Schizophrenic, because it talks about how they can cope with their illness.
