Joyce Van Drost Week 4 Analysis

After reading both manifestos, I really began to enjoy that style of writing. It made me want to create my own while presenting a message. One of the things that made me enjoy it were how it was broken up into easy to read little bullet points, but broken up in little topics that all related to one another. I liked how they were all definitive statements that showed confidence in the fact that it was telling. Each bullet point gave its own message and it at least made me think a little after each one was complete.


I wanted to carry over those elements when I wrote my own manifesto because I had enjoyed it so much in the work. I wrote about depression in my manifesto because I am currently learning about it in my Abnormal Psychology class and I find it to be very interesting. I feel that it is such a dynamic disorder in the sense that there are so many ways to get to being diagnosed as being depressed and also the different ways of treating all the different cases. I feel that because of the negative stigma that is placed on this disorder, most people decline to learn more about it because they never see themselves getting it or getting to a place in their lives where they can even come close to being depressed. I feel depression includes a lot of different discussions such as the effect of media and suicide, that I wanted to express in my writing the different questions a person could have about the disorder and what can actually lead up to it.
