The book that you are answering the questions based on…
The book that you are answering the questions based on is “Wink” by Rob Harrell.
Summary :This book club is anticipating that members will identify with “Wink” by Rob Harrell, whether through validating their values or beliefs or by relating to shared experiences with panic attacks, negative self-talk, or social isolation.
In my book club, I hope that members feel not only connected with the characters, but also validated regarding their feelings and experiences as they relate to the book. The goal is for them to gain a better understanding of what anxiety is, too, and to be comforted in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles, since many people suffer from anxiety. Lastly, I would like my book club members to leave with a greater understanding of how to manage anxiety when it arises.
Please read and book or look at the book and help me answer the questions below:
Who is the intended audience?
In your own words, write a brief synopsis of the book. Imagine you are using this synopsis to promote the book to your selected audience. Keep it short, straightforward, and culturally inclusive. Here are examples from a health teacher who did a biblioguidance curriculum!
Evaluate the quality of the writing style by noting some of the following standards: coherence, clarity, originality, forcefulness, accurate use of technical words, conciseness, fullness of development, and fluidity [i.e., quality of the narrative flow].
What mental health conditions, symptoms, and warning signs did the author include in the story? Use these NAMI webpages to help identify and describe them: Know the Warning Signs, Mental Health Conditions, and Common with Mental Illness.
After reviewing the NAMI webpage in prompt #4, what is your impression of how the author portrayed mental health conditions and illness in terms of accuracy, respect, empathy, compassion, and helpfulness?
Thinking about the mental health conditions portrayed in the book, did you see any formal mental health treatment or self-care strategies? Provide specific examples.
How did the book affect you? Were there any prior assumptions you had about mental health topics or themes that were changed, abandoned, or reinforced after reading the book? How is the book related to your own beliefs or assumptions? Did any of those change after reading the book? If yes, what and why?
Would you recommend this book as a form of biblioguidance? Justify your response.
