Watkins was born in an society where drugs abuses, people dying on street were fairly common. In his memoir, he majorly narrated his life at the age around 20, and how he stepped into the illegal drug business, and then how he pulled himself out of the business. He cooked crack and sold them to his neighbor, and hired crews for selling the drug for him as well.…

    To remake “Keith” into a Shakespearean Tragedy I would first make more chance happenings occur between Keith and Barbara before they become lab partners. Adding more chance happenings to “Keith” would give the story more depth and history to help explain more of the ending and why she agreed to meet him at all these different places when he was, considered to her and her posse “an oddball”. The second area I will look at is the internal conflict Barbara, Keith and Brian will develop. I will, to make it more of a tragedy, make Barbara feel more internal conflict over Keith and what that means for her. These changes would make “Keith” more unpredictable and establish a foundation for the story to build off of, instead of an abrupt beginning and a feeling of an incomplete conclusion.…
