Paper Length: Please submit a typed, double-spaced paper minimum 4 pages. Paper Description:
In an effort to better comprehend the personal experience of living with mental illness this memoir has been assigned, An Unquiet Mind. You should consider this a creative, reflective writing assignment without structured, formal guidelines. In whatever style you choose, your paper should read as a general “reaction” to the memoirs. You should share your thoughts about the author’s experience as well as the way in which her story was told. If you prefer a more structured approach, you can develop your essay around a central theme of your choice. In general, your essay should demonstrate that you have read the memoirs thoroughly and that you have applied critical reflection on the work. You should not simply re-tell the story. You may want to read a book review/critique written by a professional writer for ideas on style.
Here are a few questions to stimulate your thinking:
1. What was your overall impression of each book-enjoyable, interesting, boring, disturbing, unsettling, etc.?
2. What was your general opinion of each author and the way in which she told her story? 3. In your opinion, is there a central theme to the memoirs? 4. Was your understanding of the illness advanced? If yes, in what way? 5. Both books were on The New York Times Bestseller List for several months. What messages about mental illness are given to society at large through these authors’ personal stories? Note: If you choose to quote the authors, make sure to include the page number of your quotation. I would encourage direct quotes from the text. Also, please remain focused on the author’s work. I am always moved by students’ personal experiences which may relate to the memoirs; however, the objective of this assignment is to analyze the memoir. Please do not include personal experiences in your description. Do not use the first person.
