A standard feature article or personality profile, to be declared as a riveting one, should be written in a style of fiction, patched with pictures and characterized with quotes from the exclusive interview. But given a “death of a celebrity” situation, what could be the new measures in producing a cordial article that can both celebrate and mourn the death of the person?
He had three wives, all the the wives ended up divorcing Robin for “…differences” (Robin Williams Three Wives). Williams even had another woman pregnant at the same time he was married to his own, whom he also had a child with. Then lastly as most comedians are, he was depressed. I am not saying that suicide is necessarily a bad thing that makes you not worthy but, it’s not something that young children should idealize.

He was happy but it was not the life that he was expected to be. He used to play every sport before, but after that, he can not play anything at all. If I was him, I think I will feel very bad because I can play every sport before but I can not play it anymore. If I walk through people who play sports and I want to play it, it reminds me that I am paralysed. After I watched this film, I understand that if someone intends to do anything. We can not change their mind. Even though how hard we tried if they are really intended to do it we can not stop them. This movie taught me that no one can have everything that they want. Everything can change. This movie relates to the wider world according to the study, they are nearly 1 in 50 people living with paralysis - approximately 5.4 million people across the U.S. a lot of people that are like William.
