Wow. For an article this short, it really hit home with the theme you tried to portray. Irving sure was a real hero for treating people with mental illnesses and making their lives better. His fame is well deserved! I’ll go into what I liked about this article first before getting down into the critique parts Firstly, the character and his backstory in itself is just amazing. I loved reading about his backstory and how the death of his wife led him to embark upon his career. It added a nice and emotional touch to the story too! Secondly, I love how you detailed his career and the inventions he helped develop. It adds another level of depth to him and justifies his fame even more!. Great job there heffe! Now for the critique part. I know it’s still very WIP but I’ll try my best not to be harsh on the critique. 1) What are some of his relationships with his close friends and family? 2) Personally, I’d like to know what he is personally. What are his likes and dislikes? Does he have any sort of mental trauma? I apologise if my critique was bad. I really did try my best and I hope it helped you in making this article even better than it already is! Congrats heffe and keep up the amazing work!
