This week I read another article from the New York Times
called “Attention Disorder or Not, Children Prescribed Pills to Help in
School.” This article concerns the legal
and illegal use of A.D.D. medicine. It interested me because throughout the past
years many of my friends have been taking or started taking this medicine. I have never completely understood the
effects of the medicine and wanted to learn more about the increasing use. The
author uses specific examples from Dr. Anderson to explain common situations
with this medicine. These stories are
then backed up by specific facts given by the author. This combination was an effective way of
relaying the message about this medicine.
The author then transitioned into stories about patients using the
medicine to give different perspectives.
I think this method made the article believable and captivating at the
same time.
