Though I never suffered from any mental
illness, I could however relate to losing
someone and something. The never ending
of longing, missing, and “what if’s”. While
reading this book you will begin to realize
the value of something once it’s gone. There
are also some chapters that hit hard. Like
failing to meet other peoples expectation,
pushing people away, overthinking and how
nothing is permanent. Its weird how I cant
relate but somehow relate to the events of
this book.
Text to the Real World
How can I relate the story to the "real
world'?
The book “The shock of the fall” is such a interesting
book that is focus on what a person thinks and do when
they have a mental illness. It explores their experience
in life, the hardships that they must endure, the
countless hospital visits and medicines that they need.
How people would react when a person has a mental
illness. This book showed what it feels like to have
schizophrenia. I could relate this to real word because
it does happen in the real world, though this is a
psychological fiction it requires a proper research.
