What do you think about the fact that mental health is often a common theme in horror literature and media? Do you think our society's understanding of mental health has improved? Explain. response should be a minimum of 4 sentences in length for credit.
I kind of need more help in understanding this!!
Please someone help me!
Give me an example or something :(
Answer this questions if you can in your own way then like what would you say?
Answer:
hello i think the question is asking you about how mentally ill characters are often used in horror to be evil or scary and what you think about that
Explanation:
so for example you could say that in the horror film split they use a character with DID (dissociative identity disorder) as a villain and then that reflects badly on real people with that mental disorder
theres also always the idea of a "scary asylum" in horror films (like gothika is set in one) and people who've "escaped the asylum" are always killers (like in the film halloween but i forgot the antagonists name sorry haha) but in real life people have to stay at hospitals for their mental health all the time and more often than not theyre not murders
in terms of do you think you societys understanding of mental health has improved you could say YES because its more accessible to get therapy and less stigmatised/people wont judge you as much, celebrities talk openly about mental health when in the past they wouldnt, people are generally more understanding
(i suppose you could say no too but i cant think of as many reasons for that)
i really hope this helped you !!

Answer:
To Misread or to Rebel: A Woman’s Reading of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”
At its simplest, reading is “an activity that is guided by the text; this must be processed by the reader who is then, in turn, affected by what he has processed” (Iser 63). The text is the compass and map, the reader is the explorer. However, the explorer cannot disregard those unexpected boulders in the path which he or she encounters along the journey that are not written on the map. Likewise, the woman reader does not come to the text without outside influences. She comes with her experiences as a woman—a professional woman, a divorcée, a single mother. Her reading, then, is influenced by her experiences. So when she reads a piece of literature like “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber, which paints a highly negative picture of Mitty’s wife, the woman reader is forced to either misread the story and accept Mrs Mitty as a domineering, mothering wife, or rebel against that picture and become angry at the society which sees her that way.
Due to pre-existing sociosexual standards, women see characters, family structures, even societal structures from the bottom as an oppressed group rather than from a powerful position on the top, as men do. As Louise Rosenblatt states: a reader’s “tendency toward identification [with characters or events] will certainly be guided by our preoccupations at the time we read. Our problems and needs may lead us to focus on those characters and situations through which we may achieve the satisfactions, the balanced vision, or perhaps merely the unequivocal motives unattained in our own lives” (38). A woman reader who feels chained by her role as a housewife is more likely to identify with an individual who is oppressed or feels trapped than the reader’s executive husband is.
Mrs Mitty is a direct literary descendant of the first woman to be stereotyped as a nagging wife, Dame Van Winkle, the creation of the American writer, Washington Irving. Likewise, Walter Mitty is a reflection of his dreaming predecessor, Rip Van Winkle, who falls into a deep sleep for a hundred years and awakes to the relief of finding out that his nagging wife has died. Judith Fetterley explains in her book, The Resisting Reader, how such a portrayal of women forces a woman who reads “Rip Van Winkle” and other such stories “to find herself excluded from the experience of the story” so that she “cannot read the story without being assaulted by the negative images of women it presents” (10). The result, it seems, is for a woman reader of a story like “Rip Van Winkle” or “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” to either be excluded from the text, or accept the negative images of women in the story puts forth.
It is certain that women misread “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” I did. I found myself initially wishing that Mrs Mitty would just let Walter daydream in peace. But after reading the story again and paying attention to the portrayal of Mrs Mitty, I realized that it is imperative that women rebel against the texts that would oppress them. By misreading a text, the woman reader understands it in a way that is conventional and acceptable to the literary world. But in so doing, she is also distancing herself from the text, not fully embracing it or its meaning in her life. By rebelling against the text, the female reader not only has to understand the point of view of the author and the male audience, but she also has to formulate her own opinions and create a sort of dialogue between the text and herself. Rebelling against the text and the stereotypes encourages an active dialogue between the woman and the text which, in turn, guarantees an active and (most likely) angry reader response. I became a resisting reader.

Jack said there was a dog that was a high flying, nineteenth century trapeze artist; his clam is intriguing, yet highly unlikely. What is the correct way to use hyphens in this sentence
Answer:
Jack said there was a dog that was a high-flying, nineteenth-century trapeze artist; his claim is intriguing, yet highly unlikely.
Explanation:
Hyphens are used when there is a need to form a compound adjective that comes before a noun. This enables the compound adjective to modify or describe the noun that follows. But when the compound adjective comes after a noun, then there is no need to hyphenate the word.
In the given sentence, the words "high flying" and "nineteenth century" are used to describe the word "artist" which is a noun. Therefore, they are hyphenated to make a compound adjective and help describe the artist dog,
Thus, the final sentence will be written as-
Jack said there was a dog that was a high-flying, nineteenth-century trapeze artist; his claim is intriguing, yet highly unlikely.
