She's miserable and is realizing how she has a good life but how she has ruin it and has gotten herself to where she is now. In this quote, she soons see how terrible she have made her own life, and later decides that she needs to straighten up, and go home.

12) Book Review from well known source and citation
How else should kids learn?
"I think it is important for kids to read about things that are bad. Parent anti- drug talks are lame and no kid wants to listen to what their parents have to say. This book allows kids to learn about the effects drugs can have on their lives. Maybe this should be the new anti-drug campaign... To comment on the bad language and violence and drug comments of others: Well DUH! That's the point. This is real life stuff. You would never believe what kids are really doing these days. I think they need to read about what could happen if they don't think about their actions. Without books like this, kids will just have to try these things on their own instead of reading about it...."

11) Info on the author!
The author of Go Ask Alice is known as Anonymous so I really can't tell you any information about him/her.
My author does try to teach lesson in Go Ask Alice as they discuss about the pressures of an average teenager awho teries to get notice by others who are label as "cool" as they do things they really dont want to such as drugs and sex, but in the end knowing that sex and drugs does not make but instead changes a person for the worst, although they can get back up andf help themselves.

10) Describe the Ban!
The book Go Ask Alice is a book that is banned from certain schools because of tha main plot of the book. I think this book was banned because by mid-starting point of the book, 15 year old Alice is soon encountered with drugs and becomes addicted. While being addicted on drugs, she starts to chnage completely, from attitude, change in friends, and taste in boys.
I think the main reason Go Ask Alice is banned is because of the language that is used in the book. in Go Ask Alice, there is a constant discussion about drugs, rape, and sex -inclduing a disussion of a homosexual rape occuring. These subjects can be found very offensive to others and some causeing the banned of the book.

9) Describe your book!
Go Ask Alice is an amazing book. It is narrated from a young teenage girl who grows up while enduring the actual pressure as a teen. From drugs, to sex, to realizing who her real friends are, Alice tells tells us about occuring events she faces from it is written through her own diary. Based on a true story, being the reader can actually infer, compare and contrast, and feel the writers emotion through her own pages. From the heart, Alice tells us her true feelings and confusion about life and the people in it. Although the ending may be not as what I expected, I can still say Go Ask Alice had helped me understand that everyone life is not different, and whether a druggie or runaway, everyone goes through something that had led them there.
