Antidote
In a quote in Barbara Kingsolver's, "High Tide in Tucson," she states that art is the key to connect with others by using a tone that expresses urgency. The metaphor found in this sentence is the "antidote" this portrays how art is a way to express ourselves. We become distant in expressing ourselves to other people, so the cure to something like this, would be expressing ourselves through art. If the word was changed into a different word then it would completely change it’s meaning, it would then seem like the antidote isn’t needed but some who use it or not. The "numbness" is how our connections with each other is becoming loose and we lose the capability to feel for others. When we isolate ourselves from each other we become "numb"
