After watching Manchester by the Sea and Krisha and reading chapters 6 and 7 of Quit Like a Woman and the article "The Story Behind Krisha," write 500-550 words (about one and a half pages) on these questions. How is the addiction portrayed in Krisha and Manchester by the Sea different from the alcohol addiction we saw in other films this semester? How are Lee's and Krisha's "inner demons" visualized in the films? What is the effect of Lee's and Krisha's addiction on other characters in the films? In Chapter 7 of Quit Like a Woman, Holly writes, "I'd seen enough portrayals of addiction on TV, and knew about enough people's relatives, to understand that life without alcohol is a life of deprivation..." Later, she writes of her own experience, "...quitting is the catalyst to heal deeper wounds." What are the deeper wounds we see in Lee and Krisha? Do Lee or Krisha remind you of a person you know or have met in your life?
