In Winter's Bone, Woodrell shows his readers the effects meth has on families. Woodrell took the life of one family and showed piece by piece how meth destroy's their family. One man , in Winter's Bone, almost took down his whole family because he did and dealt with meth; nothing good came from it, the people surrounded with it were harsh, serious, and dangerous, the children suffered, barley being able to eat, the mother went crazy while leaving her oldest to take care of the household, and ultimately meth led to this mans death. Woodrell rights this book to inform and warn people of the tragic effects this drug has on people, showing the gruesome details of meth.
Yeah, I can definitely see that possibility. I think that also he tries to show the "real" side of the meth culture and the dangerous consequences of choosing this kind of a lifestyle. I wonder if the mother didn't go crazy from doing drugs herself? Definitely not the king of people that I would want to surround my children with.
