As they say, Drugs Kill, and Crack and the Box
The word drug is portrayed as a substance uses as medicine or the ingredient in medicine which kills or inactivates germs or affects the body and organ function. Its well known definition is a narcotic and hallucinogen, one that is habit-forming. I assure you that most all drugs can be habit-forming from the good drugs to the bad drugs. The written works I will discuss are really different and similar in a sense, they will both talk about the effect of drug abuse and effect of prolong addiction. They will differ in the way the drugs are used in the essays.
First written short essay titled, As They Say, Drugs Kill, it talks about the experience of someone watching a 22 year old, tall, thin and had brown hair die of incoherence to a drug called psilocybin, hallucinogen, mushroom. As it says, if you're cool you call them "Shrooms". Second essay titled Crack and the Box talks about prolonged television making the young passive. From this, drug use then has certain coherence.
To compare these both works is rather difficult but not impossible just have to look into the details. One comparison I can see is both essays show that drugs are a high, and the phrase "Life should be easy" plays with both. In As They Say, Drugs Kill, the high of celebration among friends automatically brings to the mind: party, alcohol, and drugs. Especially if you're just above the bar of, everything I do is legal now or no one has to know my true age. This ranges from 18-25 years of age. Another detail to observe is that they're in college so a party situation and getting looped off a drug is a way to escape all the drama of serious world of working, and responsibilities. So instead enjoy the Moment for couple of hours, couple of days, or weeks. This as well goes for Crack and the Box, in which television is portrayed to give you the same high, and the hypothesis of life should be easy. Another comparison that can be made about these literary works is that drugs and others objects (which induce the same effect as drugs), are pretty much controlling the bases of am individual's life. To addicts and occasional casualties of these many profound substances, it does in fact control one's life. The financial part that is put into drugs as well as putting drugs before family, before your career, and before your state of mind. When all of its gone your have nothing else to depend on, but that drug or drugs but now you don't have the money to buy it. You can't quit and no ones there to support you and functionality in the progressing world becomes a problem as well.
Both essays also have a variety of differences, in As They Say, Drugs Kill, shows a drug abuse situation and the response of a crowd of throwing the responsibility of who will call the ambulance?, Should we resuscitate him?, and etc. when a single person or even couple of people witness a incident, responsibility roles are easily given to. I'll call the ambulance, hold his head up and so on, but when you're in crowded situation and incident happens people
