It brings out the various perspectives of people, from students in a classroom to the international community's reactions, making it a thought-provoking piece.

Strengths
Real-World Parallels
The story draws parallels to historical events like alcohol prohibition, which adds depth to the narrative and makes readers reflect on the potential societal impact of banning coffee.

Exploration of Themes
The story touches upon themes of addiction, government regulation, and societal reactions. To enhance the narrative, it could delve deeper into these themes, providing more nuanced perspectives on the consequences of banning coffee.
