My articles cover Lindsay Lohan's transition from jail to rehab. All of these articles recap the day that she left jail and then went straight to a rehabilitation center, void of seeing her family.
The first article said Lohan was in jail for 13 days but the other two articles said she was in jail for 14. The first article that Lohan had been in the Lynwood Correctional Facility while the second article stated that she had been in the Century Regional Detention Facility. Both articles say she is going to rehab for bi-polar disorder and for use of amphetamines. The second article says methamphetamines and then denies the use of meth and clarifies by saying that Lohan actually was using adderall. I guess this author didn't realize that adderall is a methamphetamine. The third article actually says that Lohan will be treated for crystal meth, but then goes on to say that this quote is a fabrication. The last two articles mention that Lohan was on Adderall, Dilaudid and Zoloft. The first medication being a treatment for ADHD and the last two are anti-depressants.
To me, it seemed that each article put more emphasis on a different part of the story. The third article clearly focused on Lohan's disorders and drug problems. The second article seemed to focus more on the rumors on and surrounding the day of her leave from jail and then either confirming the rumors or shooting them down. The first article mostly focuses on the facts, or so it seems, but one can also see a bias for Lohan. The other articles seem to not be in favor of her, but the first article shows all positive comments about her, including some comments praising her looks, which seem irrelevant, if you ask me.
I think the differences in these stories would be more subtle if the emphases of each article were all on the same thing. Since there are different focuses of each article, it is much easier to notice the differences.
No, please no. Can I just get away from her? And, Adderall should NEVER be prescribed to people her age! It has the opposite affect on young adults than it does on children; hence, the reason college students use it to stay awake. And, Dilaudid AND Zoloft...doctors who prescribe both of these together should have their licenses revoked!
ReplyDeleteEven though Lindsay Lohan is everywhere in the news it is interesting and kind of sad to see how far a person has fallen.
