To determine point of view's importance: Know whether events of the story are being interpreted by the author or by one of the characters. If interpreted by one of the characters: ask how this character's mind and personality affect his/her interpretations. ask whether the character is perceptive or imperceptive.
But in a poll done for The Wall Street Journal by NPD Group Inc. of Port Washington, N. Y., 70% of 1,000 respondents said they probably wouldn't take a prescription drug after its expiration date; 72% said the same of an over-the-counter remedy.
Translation: Taking expired doxycycline can harm your kidneys. While it is true that some drugs merely lose strength after their expiration date, many drugs (especially antibiotics!!) break down into harmful chemical products, similar to the way juice or wine can ferment if left too long. Bottom line--don't take them.
