Teaching Suggestion: The resources below can help prepare students to respond to the question. Alternatively, the resources can be discussed after students have shared their responses.
2. Wesley King, the author of OCDaniel, explains in his author’s note that the novel is an autobiographical depiction of his own mental health struggles with OCD. How is OCDaniel different from a biography?
