Review of My Name Is Ryan


The title made me think that the piece was about a silly kid who just wanted to pull a joke. But once I heard the dark music I knew he was talking about a serious matter. When he first spoke, I knew that he had to prove a point. His tone fits his whole story very perfectly. Ryan explains to listeners reasons why marijuana and other such drugs can be addictive and can affect the way you look, and at the end, he talks about looking for help in rehab. His experience influenced me from everything he said: from becoming an addict, to going homeless to later getting arrested. Listening to this piece gave the real deal of the cause and effect of drug use.
