Go Ask Alice (Pages 21- 50)

Alice is even worse then she was in the earlier reading. She has become more addicted to drugs and now she is drinking and having sex. Her life has taken a turn for the worse and she doesn’t even know it. She came back from her grandparent’s house and now she has a new best friend named Chris. Chris is a little bit older then Alice and is on drugs as well. Chris is able to get a job Alice a job and Alice is happy. She tried pot for the first time and now she is so addicted all she wants to do is have sex with her new college boyfriend and do drugs. She even thinks about quitting her job because she feels like that she doesn’t have time to do the things she wants too. Her life is just very messed up and she needs to take a turn for the better. Her parents are very worried about her because she has changed. She is now the most popular girl at school and is no longer an outcast or reject. Alice just needs to find a way to clean up her life and start hanging out with the right people, but I highly doubt that is going to happen.

Go Ask Alice (Pages 1-21)

When starting to read this book, I was expecting to start off with a girl that was already hooked on drugs. Instead, the book starts off with a happy Alice. She seems to be pretty content with her life. She buys a diary to start recording her personal thoughts. Within the next couple pages she goes from content to miserable all because of a guy named Roger. He didn’t show up for their date and Alice has been in love with him for as long as she can remember and she thinks he doesn’t feel the same way. By the time her birthday roles around, she is in a state of depression. She has put on seven pounds and doesn’t do anything. Everything turns around for Alice, he dad gets a job so they get to move out of the town that she has grown to despise. Of course though, once she hears the word she is moving, things turn around. She goes out with a guy named Scott and Roger talks to her again. But, she still wants to move. Once they get to the new town, Alice hates it. She says, “It was the loneliest, coldest place in the world.” Alice has made no friends at school and she is miserable, she gains another fifteen pounds and hates how happy her family is here. They all have friends and people to be with unlike her. At the end of our reading, the only thing she is happy about is that she gets to spend the summer with her grandma. I think Alice is a very fragile girl, one thing goes wrong and she thinks her life is going to be over. I truly think she is bipolar, her mood is always changing.

Choice Books

I really dont like any of these books.
I have read both to kill a mocking bird and the boy in striped pajamas...
I really didnt like either.
If I had to read one of these books it would be Go Ask Alice but I really rather not read any of them.
