In ‘Stuart: A Life Backwards,’ many themes are heavily present. One of these themes is addiction in both drugs and alcohol. In chapter 3, when Masters and Stuart are in Stuart’s apartment ‘Stuart reels off the names of his medications.’ This shows that Stuart is educated in legal drugs, only because he has been prescribed them in the past. Therefore, this suggests to the audience that taking these legal drugs which makes him feel better and less in pain physically so he thought that this would work for his emotional pain as well.

Swallowed in Addiction “You do anything long enough to escape the habit of living until the escape becomes the habit.” -David Ryan What if there was a place where we did not have to think? A place where one’s happiness is controlled. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a science fiction novel that captures happiness through an early age drug called Soma, which produces euphoria with no side effects. They may not be any effects to this drug, but it causes an addiction to it. In today's world with our increasing stress and our never ending use of anti-depressants, it seems that today society is on a quest for soma.
Charles, then 31, stated that he had been a drug addict since the age of 16. While the case was dismissed because of the manner in which the evidence was obtained, Charles's situation did not improve until a few years later.

Gardner’s ideas are too drastic and I believe he didn’t have enough support in his argument that his plans would actually decrease the murders in gang violence. To say that his thoughts on drugs are the missing piece to gang-violence; I agree with him one-hundred percent. Yet, to pinpoint on drugs as the only reason viciousness and violence happens in gangs, is almost too good to be true. Dan may as well fly off to Never-Never land, because those dreams aren’t ever coming true.

Many people believe that people shouldn’t take any kind of drug to get rid of depression. I disagree with those people, I believe people should be able to take antidepressants to help them better themselves and hopefully help them have a better life.
