30. Reflection Paragraph on sources
The sources i used helped me alot because it was pretty easy to find the information i needed, also since i had it written down, whenever needed, I was able to go back to the sources to use again if neccessary. The most useful, yet bias, were the source that I used for the reviews. Those were bias because the reviews were all opinion nated but it was reviews so they were as I expected them to be. The most trustworthy was the one sbout censorship on wikipedia because as i went to multiple websites, i can tell they all had about the same near definition.

28. Reflection on Findings and Process
My research did not surprise me at all. Especially about the reasons about why the book should and should not be banned. The most interesting thing i did discovered in my research though was about the reviewa. Some people feel as though this book Go Ask Alice should be read starting at age 12 - thats my brother age and i can't even think about him readin a book as descriptive as this. Although i can understand that persons viewpoint for reading this book so early since its the beginning of the teenage years, i think probably as a freshma, that teenagers should be allow to read Go Ask Alice.
It was pretty easy to reflect on my research since I was able to compare my thoughts to other readers and information about Go Ask Alice. I enjoy parts of the book about how she had kept trying to motivate herself about staying off drugs and to also have a few good friends, but the things i did not like in the book was how she always use to down her family or the actual good friends she had. I understand that it might have been the caused from the drugs, but in my opinion, Alice did have a good life but she was always pulled back into the drugs when ever she wanted the attention from certain people. If I had to do this project differently. I would have tried to pace myself to read the book at a certain pace since it was so short to read.

27. Finding Paragraph 3
Thwe last question I had asked myself were if Alice was ever going to get off the drugs and will she ever go back home from running away the first time. Well, my questions have been answered. Alice does not ewnd up gettin off drugs completly, but with the help of her parents, she is taking it step by step, and with that, i have jus said her parenst are helping her meaning yes, Alice had made it back home from being a runaway.
"After school today we had group therapy in the Youth Center dayroom. It was very interesting listening to the kids. I was dying to ask how all the kids had felt when they first came here, but i didn't dare open my mouth." Page 160
"Oh, glorious, marvelous, wonderful, inmcredible, fantastic day! Day with birds and singing and sunshine and flowers! I can't tell you how happy I am. I'm getting out of here! I'm going HOME! All the papers will be signed today and Dad and Mom will come get me tommorow. Oh, lifetime away tommorow. I feel like screaming with joy but that would probably make them come and lock me up again. -" Page 166

26. Finding Paragraph 2
Another question I had asked myself in the beginning of the book was why Alice had stopped hanging out with Beth, and just stared hanging out with Chris so much? Well, as I read more, I saw that Beth had went to a summer camp so that left Alice all alone for the summer since she didnt have many friends in her new town, but then when she met Chris, she got a new best friend.
"Today i received the ghastly news that Beth is going to have to go to summer camp for six weeks. Her folks are going to Europe so they've made arrangments for her at an all-Jewish camp. I am heartbroken and so is she. We've both talked to our parents, but we might as well be talking to the wind. They dont hear us, they dont even listen to us." Page 22
"It is over! At noon Beth is leaving. Last night we said our goodbyes and we both cried and clung to each other like frightened children. Beth is as alone as I sm." Page 24

25. Finding Paragraph 1
I find out that Alice has ran away to Oregon knowing she doesnt like to be away from her family is because she has ran away with her best friend, Chris. She and Chris thinks that this is the answer for them to run away from evryone and also a crime Alice is afraid to speak up to the police for, and to be clean from drugs.
"Chris and I sat around all day thinking things over. She's been using drugs for over a year and i've been on since July 10 to be exact. We've decided it would be impossible to change while we're here so we're going to cut out and go to San Francisco. And i've simply got to turn Richie in to the police. -" Page 55
"It's very sad sneaking off in the middle of the night, but Chris and I couldnt think of no other way." Page 56
