The problem of drugs is one that has concerned people from around the world, who believe drugs are harmful and want to stop them.
In today’s short story, ‘Uncle Willy’, it is about a boy named Andrew and his community, which is in the South. There is a man in their town called ‘Uncle Willy’, though he isn’t anyone’s uncle. He is a bit like a fatherly figure to the boys of the village, though, we can say he isn’t a good one.
I personally belive that Uncle Willy is a bit crazy. First of all, he thinks that he can fly a plane before he even gets a flying license, or even getting any flying experience. In the end, he crashes the aircraft, and perishes. These actions are illegal today so he probably shouldn’t be doing that, especially when planes are not even that reliable, back in the 1930s. He is also a drug addict, and wants keep using them, which isn’t healthy at all. He still holds onto drugs even when the priest of the local church and the town’s women are both demanding that he should stop. To add onto all this, he is very racist, calling African Americans n———s, something very unacceptable today.
In conclusion, I think that Uncle Willy is a bit on the crazy side. He probably was trying to be a good person, but he is just not doing it the wrong way. He certainly lived a crazy life.
