Capitalised Ecstasy: A Narrative Analysis

Decent Essays
Maria, I really enjoyed the review you chose for this assignment, it was very funny and well written. In your grammatical revision you capitalised ecstasy alongside Skittles, which I don’t believe needed to be done since ecstasy is not the brand name of the ecstasy pills.
I really enjoyed your comprehensive revision. The way you rearranged some of the sentences really helped the cohesiveness of the review and made it funnier, but I found it a little strange that you decided to put TOM RIDDLE and RADIANT FARMS in all caps but had changed that in your grammatical revision. I really liked how you moved the paragraph about the farming/mixing of unicorn meat with the paragraph about meat from other mythical creatures, as I stated above it really

    What would raves in the 90’s have been without the use of molly? While it was called ecstasy at the time, the substance was widely popular amongst partygoers. The chemical name for this easygoing substance is 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, or MDMA for short. Over time, generational nicknames such as ecstasy and X have come to identify the drug.

    Thousands of First Nations people were forced to go to residential schools, thousands had their lives ruined by the years of physical, emotional and even sexual abuse. These people had their culture stripped away from them, and they were thrown out into the world without a clue about how to survive in it. The traumatic events that occurred at the residential schools gave countless victims PTSD leaving them to resort to substance abuse to smother their pain and causing many to die alone with no one to remember them. Examples of those affected by the actions of the priests and nuns who ran the schools can be found in Sammy Aandeg of Drew Hayden Taylor’s Motorcycles and Sweetgrass and in the Sugar Girl of Joseph Boyden’s…

    The heroin epidemic is rising at an alarming rate and cites are desperate to find a solution. The CDC reports that 27,000 people die each year due to heroin overdoses. The jails are inundated with offenders, that once released go out and use again, thus continuing a cycle of insanity without producing any solutions. More youths have succumbed to addictions involving Meth and Heroin, and many are dying as a result. No one seemed to be paying any attention until it reached epidemic proportions, or as some have suggested, become a "white middle class problem" that surpassed the poor minority populations.…

    “Mom, Dad, did you ever try drugs?” Referencing an ad from the Partnership for a Drug Free America, author and neuroscientist Dean Burnett argues that comparing the frying of an egg in a pan to the brain on drugs is “crude, misleading, and even potentially stigmatizing” in his article "Your brain on drugs is not a fried egg.” He supports this claim by asserting to his target audience that drugs don't actually fry your brain, but rather alter it, by primarily using a series of facts and analogies. While his argument lacks appeal to pathos, his strong use of logos and ethos make his argument ultimately persuasive. Starting with pathos, we'll first take a look at who the intended audience is.…

    Antonio- I really enjoyed reading your analysis of both Angelou and Ghirlandaio's works. I particularly liked how you pointed out how intimate the Old Man and his Grandson appeared to be depicted. I agree full heartedly, as I also choose to view the piece and noted the intimacy between the two. In term's of Maya Angelou, I did not know all of that about her history, and it changes my perspective on her writing of "Even the Stars Look Lonesome". I also liked how you noted the new ability to put a story behind art.…

    Drug laws play a vital role in American society because drug use is an unfortunate part of the culture. Regardless of one’s views on whether some currently illegal drugs should be treated differently than others, the fact is that at this point all non-prescription drugs are illegal, and the government is responsible for responding to public outcry on this issue whether it be the legalization of recreational drugs like marijuana or the perceived injustices handed down to non-violent drug offenders. The serious nature of our country’s drug epidemic makes the topic of drug laws one that must be addressed by all branches of the US Government; the President is calling for legalization of recreational marijuana, congress is passing groundbreaking…

    In the United States something as simple as a drug possession charge can get you into serious trouble, with some offenses even marked as felonies. (Controlled Substances Act, 2014) This is a ludicrous idea, drug crimes are usually victimless, restricting drug usage violates basic human rights, and even tobacco and alcohol are legal. In addition to these things, putting drug charges on a person’s criminal record, or sending someone to jail on drug charges pushes more people to a life of crime. For these reasons, I believe that people should not be punished for using drugs.…

    The Historical Conversations Project (HCP) is writing a review that helps to expose us and the peers to various topics, arguments, histories, and background knowledge that will enable us to engage with each other over the course of the quarter. This project is one of the biggest assigned papers that was allocated to us in a week three. The Historical Conversations Project was required to be 6-7 pages long where it also has to be a multi- modal composition. This project was one of the difficult project I ever saw because this project was very different from what I had done in my previous writing courses. Before, I had never done any multi-modal composition which even made it more challenging for me to do.…

    The father-son relationship has flourished from the ancient times of cave fathers who taught their sons how to hunt, to the modern day dads who teach their sons how to play golf. A good father is one who can teach his son how to grow into a mature young man. Some fathers do this in unconditional ways; however, if the father is able to teach his son how to be a man, he has done his job. One writer who dives deep into this father son relationship is Scott Russell Sanders.…
