Go Ask Alice

What is your initial response to the book and how do you think that you will respond to it? How do you think Alice will become involved with drugs?

After reading the back of the book I would have thought that Alice would have been much different than what she really is. I thought that she would have been a more popular character. One who would not b be self confident and would go to parties all the time. But in reality she is very self confident and she doesn't have many friends. She feels like she is a mis-fit. I would have thought before opening up a page of the book that almost right away she would have gotten started with drugs. Just by the intensity in the back of the book and seems as though it would be that way. I in a way am looking forward to the part where she does get hooked on drugs. Not because she dies and that drugs are awful. But just to be able to get inside a persons head who is taking them, and be able to see what their world is like. I think that this book will be a really emotionally intensise book to read. From the fact where she takes drugs and that her family doesn't want her any more. She becomes something that she never wanted to e. She had heard of it from people in her school but she could never imagine anyone actually doing it.

It says that Alice will become involved with drugs at a party. One of her drinks has LSD. But what I am wondering is if she knew that the drug was in her drink. If she didnt know then I dont think that she would continue. She wouldn't know what drug it was unless someone told her. But it just goes to show that even after using a drug once it can change your life in ways that no one would imagine.
