GO ASK ALICE

THE BOOK I AM READING IS ABOUT A 15 YREAR OLD GIRL
THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT IN TO THE WORLD OF DRUGS AND SEX. SHE IS STRUGGLING THREW DRUGS BECAUSE WHEN SHE SEEMS TO STOP THEY TEND TO COME BACK INTO HER LIFE. SHE RAN AWAY BECAUSE ON TOP OF THE STRESS OF DRUGS HER PARENTS ARE ALWAYS PUTTING HER DOWN WHEN SHE DOES SOMETHING TO HER SELF THEY NEVER CAN SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT HER. RUNNING AWAY CANGED ALOT PUT THEN IN AWAY IT DIDNT SHE GOT CAUGHT UP IN DRUGS AGAIN AND EVEN GOT RAPPED WHICH MADE HER REALLY THINK WHAT SHE IS DOING WITH HER LIFE.TO ME SHE IS A TEENAGE GIRL TRYING TO GET ATTENTION AND DOESNT KNOW HOW TO GET IT ANY OTHER WAY AND THINKS DOING DRUGS AND HAVING SEX WILL MAKE IT BETTER.CAUSE WHEN SHE IS HIGH SHE ALWAYS SAYS SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. BUT WHEN SHES NOT SHE KIND OF PUTS HER SELF DOWN. WHICH I THINK IS WRONG.

ALICE AT THE AG OF 15 HAS DONE HEROIN , SPEED, WEED, AND ANY OTHER DRUG THATS OUT THERE SHE EVEN STARTED HAVEN SEX AND TO TOP IT OFF UNPRETECTED SEX. AND AT THIS AGE SHE HAS RUN AWAY FROM HOME WITH HER FREIND WHEN SHE SHOULD BE WITH HER FAMILY AND IN SCHOOL. IF I COULD ASK HER A QUESTION IT WOULD BE WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOUR SELF TREW THIS MUCH PAIN AND NOT JUST YOUR SELF BUT YOUR FAMILY. WHY WOULD YOU RISK BEEING A NOBODY BECAUSE OF DRUGS? IF I COULD ASK THE AUTHOR A QUESTION IT WOULD BE WHY DID YOU LEAVE THIS BOOK ANOMOUS ARE YOU HIDING SOMETHING IS THAT WHY YOU DID?

I CHOSE THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY SEEMED THE MOST RESONABLE FOR MY BOOK. I KNE WTHAT IF THIS WAS A REAL LETTER TO THE AUTHOR THAT MAYBE MY QUESTIONS MIGHT GET ANSWERED AND THEN I COULD UNDERSTAND ALICE AND WHY SHE MADE THE CHOICES SHE DID. MAY NOT MAKE SENSE TO YOU BUT IT DOES TO ME AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. AND THERE WERE NOT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I THINK THAT COULD OF SATISFIED ME.

ASHLEY SMITH GO ASK ALICE

1.GO ASK ALICE IS A TEEN GIRLS DIARY AND HOW HERE LIFE WAS. SHE STARTED DRUGS AT A YOUNG AGE BUT THERES A TWIST TO THAT SHE STARTED HAVING SEX. AND I THINK SHES DOING THIS TO MAKE HER SELF FEEL BETTER BECAUSE HER PARENTS TREAT HER LIKE CRAP THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN ON HER WHEN SHE DOES SOMETHING SO MAYBE SHE IS TRYING TO GET THERE ATTENTION HER OWN WHY.


2.ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK SO FAR IS EVERYTHING IT IS VERY INTERESTING AND IT SHOWS YOU HOW SOME PEOPLE LIVE THERE LIFE TODAY AND THATS SAD THAT THEY HAVE TO DO DRUGS AND HAVE SEX JUST TO GET ATTENTION OR MAKE THERE SELF FEEL BETTER THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER OPTION.

Ashley, sounds like a good book so far. Nice 1st post, but stop shouting in all caps!

Ashley, I'm responding to both your responses in this space. Now, remember, you understanding yourself is not all that matters. You're in this class to learn how to express ideas to an audience.

Now, I get what you're saying. You're saying that since the book was most likely autobiographical, then the author would be in a position to answer both of those questions.
