Go Ask Alice Blog 4

The reading so far is less intense than diary 1, but at the same time is more intense than diary 1, because of the narrator's big breakdown after accidentally ingesting acid when she was babysitting. It is less intense though, because before the acid episode the narrator wasn't really taking drugs anymore and she had met Joel, who is very nice, and she was getting along with her family and doing well in school. She did have trouble with being harassed by Jan and other kids at school, though. Everything seemed to be going all right for the narrator until the moment she ingested acid at a babysitting job. It all went downhill from there. She ended up in a hospital all cut up and hurt. The descriptions that she gave about the way she looked were really horrible. I still had no idea what had happened, though! I was quite confused. At the moment she is in an "insane asylum" according to herself. I'm starting to wonder what eventually killed her, because I can't really think of anything. Maybe drug overdose or something else. I don't know, because right now I don't think she can get drugs where she is. So, I'm waiting to find out more about her life and what happens. The book is really good so far.
