Go Ask Alice Blog 3
The narrator's personality is changing with every diary entry that she writes. She thinks things are wrong that she does like, drugs , sex, and running away, and then she thinks that those things are bad. She is having weird encounters with things. For example, when she was doing her homework and then all of a sudden she had this flashback of when she was doing drugs and then the next thing you know, she is on the floor of her bedroom naked. It was a little bit sketchy to me. I also kind of think that she is improving though. When she is at home with her family, she seems to do better. Then again, I also think that maybe the school environment is going to drive her to do drugs again. It will be sad if that happens, because it seems as if she is getting her life back on track again. I didn't mention this in my last blog, but I thought that the last entry of her first diary was weird. She was saying how she would either commit suicide or become a social worker. They are not even similar to each other in any way. It seemed kind of crazy to me. Anyways, I think that the book is good and I can't wait to finish it.

Go Ask Alice Blog 2
As I get farther into the book, my impressions of the writer are changing a lot. I don't know whether or not she is happy that she is away from drugs or that she is happy when she is on drugs.I also found it funny when Chris and she walked in on Ted and Richie "making love to each other". I realize that's not something that was funny to them both at the time, but it really made me chuckle! I thought it was good that Chris and the writer opened up their own shop after being raped by Sheila, Chris's boss, and Sheila's boyfriend. I was a little bit confused when I got to the part where it said that they had raped them. I'm still a bit confused throughout the book at certain parts. I'm excited to keep reading more about her spiralling downfall! It's really good and It's hard for me not to read more! This book is getting more exciting!

Go Ask Alice Blog 1
So far, I think Go Ask Alice is a really good book. I think that the girl tends to over react about many things and she contradicts herself a lot too. For example after she does drugs, she always says that she was never going to do it again, but then she does do it. I think that the girl has some serious issues going on in her life. She has become anorexic and she always fights with her parents. She seems to be very self conscious about herself. Her relationships that she has with people are a weird and clingy. She leaches onto them. An example of that is when she becomes friends with Beth. She starts to become attached and then when Beth is leaving for a summer camp she says how she might be in love with Beth. It was just a little bit weird. It was also really creepy when she wrote down the time that Jill called her. In her diary, she also says how each time she tries a different drug, they keep getting better and better. It is sad to see how this girl is slowly ruining her life in a way. She doesn't seem to realize it all to much either. I feel bad for her and I hope that she starts to take the right steps to getting better from her addiction to drugs and her addiction to losing weight. I having a feeling she isn't going to get better, though.
