"Go Ask Alice" Blog #5

Q: What are your final reactions and feelings after finishing the book?

A:            My final thoughts to the book are just that I am amazed. I mean you always hear about people being druggies, or drinking, or just being plain stupid when it comes to this kind of stuff, but when you hear a story about it, things change.

            First of all I can’t believe that this girl got caught up in this lifestyle and couldn’t get out. I think that if I knew her before she got involved with drugs, I would have never thought she would be one to try and be addicted to them. She seemed so normal.

            It saddens me so much to know that she died in the end. After you think that she finally cleans up her act and gets her life together, she dies. I just don’t find that to be right. I just think that she wouldn’t do it, the overdose and all. I almost feel like she was tricked get again into unknowingly taking the drugs.

            I feel that she would have made it so far in life: fulfilling her dream to become a counselor, helping drug abusing kids, and starting a family, but of couse that’s not the case.

            “Alice’s” life was taken away from her unexpectedly by other people. It is a sad story, which should have never happened in the first place. I guess it just shows that one time can mess up your entire life.
