“Jimmy’s World” Reaction Assignment
Even though it is fictitious, the article about "Jimmy's World" is captivating as it
highlights one of the thorny issues that contemporary society is grappling with. The author

the same time, one is overwhelmed with pity and sympathy. Therefore, this paper will provide an
opinion regarding the article as well as the controversy that befell the author.
"Jimmy's World" is an article that touches on the drug menace that has plagued society.
Even though the article was a fraud, it cannot be ignored that the issues it highlighted are
prevalent among the poor neighborhoods of most cities. Children are introduced to drugs at an
early age, and the society they live in has encouraged that. From "Jimmy's World," the young lad
feels better when using heroin, and his role models are drug dealers. That is why he prefers
maths since he knows that it is essential in the drug dealing business as money is involved.
The article “Jimmy’s World” has also revealed the importance of a stable family. The
plight of people in “Jimmy’s” neighborhood has clearly articulated that most people are born in
unstable families. As a result, kids born in these structures are introduced to drugs at an early age
since the parents are also drug users. The importance of a father figure in a house has been
emphasized. This has been revealed in the article when it says that most black kids use drugs due
to the lack of a male figure in the house. A father offers guidance, protection, counseling, and
discipline to his kids. However, but the fact that they are not present, kids associate with their
peers, who later introduce them to drugs.
