^A journal on the stereotyping and prejudice of mental illness in Tintin. Tintin comics
were made in the 1930’s, so they are very likely to be prejudice. Even if Tintin is outdates, the
ideas around mental illness remain in literature and writing today.

^Psychology journal on PTSD and criminal behaviour. This journal will give me some
insight into how PTSD develops, the symptoms, the possible criminal activity due to the illness,
and how it can be treated. I won’t use a lot of this journal because it seems to focus a lot on
criminal activity, and I don’t want my character to be a criminal BECAUSE of their illness, I
find that would be the opposite of what I’m trying to portray with my character.
