I wrote a double prospective poem about a schizophrenic man and his shadow. I wanted to do this because I wanted people to realize that not all schizophrenic people are crazy. I watched a lot of videos about people with Schizophrenia that way I can get a real feeling of what they go through on a daily basis. I then wrote down everything I found interesting. I chose to do schizophrenia because I feel that this mental disorder is one of the most judged illnesses. The highlighted words are the stereotypes that people suffering with this illness hear everyday. The words below them are the truth about people with schizophrenia.

I made a paragraph for each idea we had and I wrote a one sentence summary and a one sentence conclusion. I looked up different kinds of treatments and what Indonesia did to the mentally ill. In the pictures below they represent different topics about what Indonesian people do to the mentally ill. I created a paragraph saying about how poorly they treat the mentally ill. I read multiple articles about how the patients get treated in Indonesia and how the Government is doing everything they can to end it. The passages shows how the patients feel and it says how the patients feel and their perspective on being forced to live there.

I looked up the chemical imbalances of what helps cause schizophrenia and I found the chemical equations for each of the chemicals. There's three chemicals that create the chemical imbalance for schizophrenia Dopamine, Serotonin, and Glutamate. I chose Dopamine. I created symbols for each chemical in each of the chemical imbalances. I made symbols for Carbon, Hydrogen, and NO2. the reasons why I chose the symbols are down below the final product.

This is my final product. The green hazard sign is green to make it stand out more than the others and it also stands for the chemical NO2. The yellow triangles represent life it also represents the chemical Hydrogen. Finally, the Turquoise signs represents the chemical Carbon the darker color helps combine the greens and the yellows together. All together there are 8 carbon signs, 11 hydrogen signs, and 1 NO2 sign.
