An Ounce of Cure

I believe the title uses satire and irony for the statement that it’s better to face potential problems before they become actual problems. In this story it might not always be the case and they are trying to contradict that. That is why it’s called an ounce of cure not a metric ton of cure. An ounce of cure because in the story she drinks alcohol which can be served in shots (ounces). It’s taking an ordinary saying and using It metaphorically speaking how statements and facts in life can’t be summed up in sentences. The title of the story was changed because they needed a shorter title than the original title. Also they need the title to be original with a side of theory and irony about a common phrase. This theme is explored by showing how the girl in this book believes she’s solving her problems though she is not. She's trying to solve a potential problem of her ex-boyfriend ,but ends up with an actual problem of the ruining her reputation infront of the whole town. She is the protagonist in the novel that in the end get’s humiliated to the point of no return. In the end of the story everything works out and the cycle will repeat. How she believes she is solving a problem but a bigger problem is coming from a result of that.
