Your essay must include at least TWO ( 2 ) secondary sources. These sources must be academic or scholarly in nature (e.g. a journal article or a chapter from a book). References to films, television series, or songs are not acceptable. Your essay should be approximately 1500 words. How do the specifics of an addictive substance change our interpretation of the addict figure? Choose at least two texts with two different substances (e.g. cocaine from Freud’s “The Cocaine Papers” and heroin from Welsh’s Trainspotting) and describe what—if any—contrasts you find there.
