There are references,
such as I-me-my, most of the people-they-their-them,

This paragraph is about
"my" story with drugs, and so words about "I" and
"drugs" play an important part in the text cohesion
here. The main word chain is:
me — drugs — I — drugs — I — I — drugs — I — my — I — pot — cocaine — my. There are repetitions such as new, way of life, I, drugs, exposed, hyponymy, such as drug, pot, cocaine, and synonymy, such as "was exposed to — met", "exposed me to drugs — doing drugs — using drugs". |
