Drug addiction has always been an issue in people’s life, destroying them and it’s been increasing within the years. In Inside a Killer Drug Epidemic: A Look at America’s Opioid Crisis according to the editorial board there has been many deaths for overdose, “Public health officials have called the current opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history, killing more than 33,000 people in 2015”. This is telling us that causes of deaths because of opioid has been increasing in the past years, people have been seeking everytime for more and more. In New Hampshire a large amount of people use drugs. Lately people has been getting cheaper drugs and had been more accessible to it. People get drugs more easily than they could get help that’s why the drug abuse rates has increased. If you call to a rehabilitation center they don’t see you right away they make you wait which is not adequate for someone who is seeking for help (Woodruff, 2016).

Edgar– this is good! You are identifying connections between quotes and your topic sentence. I wondered if a more analytical common idea sentence could have been this: People get drugs more easily than they could get help that’s why the drug abuse rates has increased. Then, what you would be doing is showing how each quote proves accessibility is the reason for the drug epidemic.
Additionally, in APA, you only need to tell me the AUTHOR’S last name and the YEAR OF PUBLICATION and THE PAGE OR PARAGRAPH NUMBER. Adjust your APA citations to look like this: The Editorial Board (2017) states that there has been many deaths for FROM overdose, “Public health officials have called the current opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history, killing more than 33,000 people in 2015″ (para. 3).
