In the article by James Fellowes, compares the similarities of owning a gun to having a license to fly a plain. He claims that both are safe in the right hands and vary dangers in the wrong hands. He sights the example of a bad people using both for the harm of others, he uses the example of 911 when armed men hichaked 4 passenger plains and attacked the united states. I would say this author is not biased because this auther point out the opposite believe, and says that he understands there concern about guns The author uses his information and evidence to compare

And remind the audience that it can happen to anyone at any age group. His clams that they are different and people with this disorder are not alone. This was not a biased article because he is giving the medical definition of mental health and it dangers to the affected and to all around them.

The information presented in the article was very interesting. I was able to get a exact definition of mental health. Which furthered my understanding of this topic. This information helped me to understand and notice people in my life that could potentially have these problems. I have seen these problems in my life and know know that these problems can be treated. As the author brought up that mental health is a problem that can be
