The book I’ve been reading is titled Buzzed, I chose this book because the topic of drugs is very interesting to me. I’ve always wondered how someone gets into drugs and how people are able to escape them. Not only that but how they can affect someone and how dangerous they can be. This story is mainly focused on the information about drugs, all the statistics and then the author will tell you why these statistics are relevant. It also talks about the affects that drugs can have on a person.

1. Alcohol, this drug is so normalized because it is used everywhere and because it is legal. However just because something is legal it is completely safe. But that is very far from the truth, the purpose of this book is to tell you everything about these drugs that you wouldn't know first hand.

2. Mamajuana, this drug was illegalized everywhere during the times of segregation because they wanted to prove a point. It was like that for the longest time until states started during research on it and most states now allow medicinal or recreational use. Smoking this product can cause irreversible lung damage but in the form of an edible they are harmless. This drug however can generate a huge dependency and cause someone’s whole lifestyle to change. It is also seen as a gateway drug because many people will try this and then branch out to other stuff because this doesn’t do good enough.

3. Opiates, one of the more dangerous areas of drugs to tamper with can cause someone’s lifestyle to change an extremely amount. Most of these drugs can be found in hospitals because they are used to treat heavy pain. However many people have discovered that they can be abused and produce a high unlike any other drug. However because of how strong these drugs are they can cause overdose much faster then most other drugs and the bodily affects of these drugs over time and be a lot more substantial then the other drugs.

I believe that the authors purpose for writing this was because they want to be able to tell everyone the dangers and the things that can come from these dangerous drugs. The authors have a prologue and in there they talk about how they wanted to create this because there isn’t much very clear information on the side effects and what they can do to a person rather then they just give statistics. The authors have personal life experience of this because they are scientist who study a lot of these kinds of things.

My book does not have a certain setting because this is not what my book mainly talks about. However a setting that we could use would be modern time because the time they seem to be talking about is right now.

The authors of this book use rhetorical appeals to their advantage because this is a topic where they can use a lot of it to persuade and make their information have more of a lasting affect on their readers.

Ethos: The authors of this book use ethos strategically because they help develop a connection ethically by making you understand whats right and whats wrong and how these drugs can affect other people, they focus on a lot of ethics.

Pathos: This topic pathos is the most importance because this is drug related and emotional connections are always the most common with this kind of thing. The author tries to make you think about how these could affect not just you but your family members as well.

Logos: the author also uses a lot of logics when making this book because things need to make sense when its a topic like this.

”We believe that when provided with an unbiased and authorities source of information about drugs and drug interaction individuals are empowered to make healthy decisions.” - Pg.21

I believe that this quotation is very important and very accurate because it is very true. When people are told the negatives of drugs they are usually with a bias which cause the effect to be very weak because its not hard to tell when someone is telling you not to do something or trying to convince you to do something with a bias. However this book doesn’t pick a side they just lay down the facts.

Salvation by The Cranberries

This song connects with the book because they sing about how drugs can be extremely hard to escape. Drugs have a very strong hold on people and they can make people feel like there is no escape. This song talks about that and shines light on these topics.

Lyrics:

To all those people doing lines
Don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free, it's free

To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no, it's not, not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
