Go Ask Alice
Lately i have been reading "Go Ask Alice" and i have been enjoying it a lot. In just the 40 pages that Ive read, its already been almost a year and i can already see her see her starting to change. In the beginning of the book, she was a sweet girl with 3 best friends that had all the problems a teenager usually has, boys, being popular, being able to look nice, and keeping their grades up. But now after having her first experience with LSD i can tell it will not be her last. Just 4 months she said she said "Oh happiness and joy and elation, mother has promised me that I can spend the summer at Gran's!" but now shes saying shes "already bored out of her skull" By the end of the summer, I can imagine her being a completely different person. She even said that she was "glad I was one of the luckly ones", talking about how some of the drinks had LSD and some didn't. I'm excited to see what else happens to her and how different she may become.

Hey Margo,
ReplyDeleteI read this book last year and couldn't put it down. I won't give it away but I agree with your inference of Alice changing. I like how you backed up your theroy with straight examples from the text!

hey Margo,
ReplyDeletei actually agree with Aleyna that i did have a book that i just could not put down and once in a while you might have that moment were the book your reading is just so impossible to stop reading it.
This is a really interesting post! I can relate to watching someone change over the years and how diffucult and strange it is to witness, but also changing yourself and being surprised by people's reactions. I love the way you write and this was fun to read!
