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.
That sounds like a good book. I can understand why you don't think 12 year olds can read it.
