An Ounce of Cure

In the short story “An Ounce of Cure” by Alice Munro, the main points reflex around the coming of age of an ignorant and innocent teenager. The story show us that teenager’s attitude are shaped on the idea of what the people in the town think a typical teenager in their town should be; what’s expected and what’s not expected to be done. The narrator seem to be ignorant to a lot …

…live as a wise learning experience. This story should have a great deal of impact on all teenager who think that the only cure for problems they encounter are, alcohol, drugs and smoking. I personally think that by them reading about this incident it will open their eye’s and teaches them that the only way to deal with their problems is to first; acknowledge that there is a problem and then openly confronting it.
