An Ounce of Cure - Response

The title means that in order to prevent future problems you must deal with your current problems. In the story a girl wallows on her past and feels horrible.These emotions only get worse until one night she becomes drunk through the use of alcohol which is measured in ounces. She uses alcohol to get back to reality.The alcohol is her way of cooping with her problems.I think they changed the title of the story because they needed a shorter title more concise title than the original also something more interesting because most people wouldn't think of an ounce of alcohol to be a cure. This theme is explored by showing how the girl thinks she is fixing her problems but in fact is just ruining her reputation in front of the town.
