Mental Awareness through the influence of literature!
The impact of words is immense,through out history we have heard and read books about love,pain,distress and heartbreak. Books have taught us that we are all different and we will be happy someday ,if not today. Recently I have read books were there's someone with a mental issue which threatens to kill one of the characters-at the end the character which is mentally unstable ends up dead-I feel as if the authors are sending a negative message,almost unintentionally. Authors need to understand there role in the world of language and its effect on readers-some readers may be mentally unstable and they might feel as if there crazy and they deserve to die-this is not the case. Authors need to give readers hope and encourage them to reach out to people who can help them. I feel as if its become a huge issue in society and people need to become more aware of mental health. You don't have to be the best selling author to make an impact ,you can sell one book which might change more than one life!
