Go Ask Alice Book Report
Go Ask Alice By Anonymous

For my summer reading, I chose to read Go Ask Alice. It is a diary about a high school girl who gets hooked on to drugs. She was trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her great home and a loving and caring family to the streets of an unforgiving city. It is a first person account of her harrowing descent into the nightmarish world of drugs. This diary explains the hardships and troubles she went through. Alice was used, made fun of, raped and much more. While reading Go Ask Alice, i've learned many new interesting things. One interesting thing I learned was that drugs are very addicting and harmful. Thousands of deaths occur a year due to drugs. Rather its pills or pot. I’ve learned that

    I read the book what Happened to Cass McBride. It was a very good book that keeps you on your toes. What I liked most about it though was that you would never expect what happens in the end of the story. I also like that the main character who stayed strong through the whole book and it teaches people who read this, that just when you think it’s over, it’s really not. This is one of my favorite books that I have read.…

    I liked this book mainly because of how different it was compared to my lifestyle and how entertaining it was. Nikki turner didn’t really sugar coat much so I felt I was watching a movie and saw it for what it truly was. Like anyone’s guilty pleasure we all like reality television and it kind of reminded me of just that with fights and drama. The books good points that were how certain events that happen in one’s life good or bad really do shape a person into who they become. Teaching me to not be ashamed of what happens and to only use that circumstance as a motivation of some kind. For anyone that is interested in a gritty, suspenseful, and eye bulging book that keeps you wondering what’s next I would definably recommend this book to that someone willing to take a…

My parents were insistent on me spending my time with my books, which ultimately payed off in the end. At the end of summer I was reading two…

    Drug abuse is a serious problem which has affected many individuals in American society for decades. When we take a look into American history, it is apparent the magnificent availabilities of science and technology available today have not always been around. With the lack of scientific knowledge and the once non-existence of drug abuse, it is fair to say our discoveries of drugs were once ingested in some form out of pure curiosity of the human mind.

    I thought during the whole story I think she crossed more than one threshold. The first one was when she fell down the hole and entered wonderland because the trees by the two holes were both twisted and looked very similar. Her coming out of the hole to Wonderland to me was like the crossing in a new unknown land. Another threshold was when she made it up in her mind that she was the hero and started believing in wonderland and the impossible.…
