Writing Strategies
1. What strategy. or strategies, does Cherry use to draw the reader's attention to the point of her essay?
She first starts by putting you in a real life moment of watching television. "You can't turn on the TV or open a magazine these days without finding out if Claritin is "right for you" or being told to ask your doctor about Viagra." She also uses real statistics and sources without drowning her own voice.
Exploring Ideas
2. Is it all right for Americans to take prescription drugs to ease non-medical problems like fat and stress? What problems should prescription drugs be used for?
When non-medical problems like fat and stress become too overwhelming for people to handle, then people should be prescribed to drugs. But, until those problems become overwhelming, then people should not be prescribed to drugs. The problems that could be life threatening are the problems that need prescription drugs. The problems that regular aspirin cannot help, need prescription drugs.
