Response to "An Ounce of cure"

The title, "An Ounce of Cure," is a reference to the common saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The saying states that taking care of a problem earlier is much easier than delaying to take care of a problem that may get worse later. In this case, Munroe does not try to seek help until she suffers from an extraordinarily embarrassing situation. Instead, Munroe tries to solve her problems by drinking which, unfortunately, is what many people in society do. She tries to cure her problems with an ounce of alcohol, but instead makes her problem many times worse. Although Munroe was put through a difficult situation, she does learn from her mistakes and does eventually get over her depression from being dumped. Munroe shows us that we can get though the worst of situation and fix any problem regardless of how bad it can get.
