3. What I Want To Know About My Book

About Go Ask Alice, I would like to know why Cris and Alice had even decided to run away to Oregon when they knew the first time they didnt like being far away from their family. Also, I can't help but wonder why Alice makes it seems like her life is so dreadful? In my opinion, I believe
Alice has a great family who really cares, including her younger brother and sister, and why she doesn't hangs out with her best friend Beth anymore. Beth went away to summer camp, Alice met Cris, and now Beth is just out of the picture? I would also like to know why the author remained anonymous, and I can't really do a lot of reserach since there are fake names and places of course. I also want to know if Alice will be forever sprung out on these drugs and this time, will she make it home? Those are some things I wouldn"t mind knowing though.

2. What I Already Know About My Book

In the past two days, I have already read about half my book. In Go Ask Alice, I have so far learned that Alice is a 15 year old girl who gets involved with many different types of drugs and the story is based on her actual diary. She has a nice and well put together family, friends, and even a lovable boyfriend, but at the same time, Alice still feels like an outsider. As they moved into a new state, (the book does'nt say where), she still goes back nd forth to her hometown still keeping in contact with her friends who gets her hooked on drugs. when she leaves her old town for the summer and returns home, Alice is currently off drugs until she makes a new friend at her job who gets her on some new drugs.  With her new 18 year old friend Cris, (who is a girl), she had gotten her a college boyfriend, and to run away to San Francisco. Alice and Cris eventually comes back home and everything is fine with her and her family, except for her "bipolar and nagging" mom, until they become drug dealers and run away once again to Oregon. (This is where I am currently at in the book).

1. The Story Behind My Book Choice

I chose my book, Go Ask Alice, because of when we were in class choosing our top for books, I was glancing at the mini summaries. When I glanced at Go Ask Alice, I read how it was about a young teenage girl right around the age 15, and how she begin drugs. I chose this book because it sounded really interesting and it really got my attenion because of how her age is right around mys, and how it is also based on a true and young girls life.
