Help for paper topic

I want to do my paper on the fantastical elements of drug-induced addiction using Wonderwall as a reference text. We discussed a lot of things that are hard to understand about addiction, such as, why not just stop using the drug. There were a lot of questions about the cough syrup. It would help me create a paper outline if everyone would post some of their questions about addiction in the story or otherwise. Thanks!

Barbara, this sounds like a fascinating topic. Could you tell us a bit more, even before your presentation, about what you have in mind for the paper? For example, could you elaborate on what you mean by "the fantastical elements of drug-induced addiction"? Hallucinogens, of course, immediately come to mind, but you seem not to be thinking about hallucinogens per se.

I agree with Andy. I think I could give you some of my own questions if I had somewhat of a more narrow scope here. Sounds interesting!

If you needed any other references (which is probably unlikely) you could also use the short story we read about the girl in college and her cough medicine induced hallucinations. Sorry I don't have my syllabus with me, but I could tell you in class tomorrow.
