"Go ask Alice" by anonymous
This is the fictitious diary of a young teenage girl, who somehow finds herself lost in the world of drugs during the 1960's. She is introduced to LSD during a party where it was slipped into her drink. She loved how the drug made her feel, and was delighted to learn that there were more drugs out there. Every party she went to, she remembers in bits and pieces, but often only remembers the beautiful colors that the drugs brought to her, and sometimes the rapes that occurred when she was in a complete drug haze. Within a few months, she was totally hooked. When she is sober, there are entries in this diary almost daily. When she is on her drugs, there are large gaps missing, and what is there is usually dateless. However, she does not win the fight.
While I was reading today, I could picture Alice being very lonely in school, and very miserable. She’s not satisfied with her life. She’s depressed.
I can connect Alice’s mum, with my mum because both of them are very protective, and want the best for their daughter, but I think Alice’s mum is a little bit over exaggerating. I don’t think their relationship is as good as the relationship my mum and I have. We’re closer, we tell each other everything no matter what, and my mum is basically like my best friend. Alice doesn’t think that though, she thinks that her mum is annoying and strict and they never seem to get along.
I didn’t have any problem connecting or understanding the story. Everything the author is trying to say is written in a clear, easy and understandable way. The words she uses are pretty simple and based on the paragraph you can easily understand it and there was no need to look it up in the dictionary.
If I could jump into my book right now I would try to stop Alice from what she’s doing, because it’s a shame for a fifteen year old girl to blow her life just like that…
At the moment Alice wants to take a break from drugs, but I don’t think that’s going to last for long, its too late now. She’s addicted to them!
The plot is very realistic because it’s based on a true story.
Something that I’ve done which is similar to what my character has done is for sure not drugs. It’s moving, after my parents split me and my mum had to go live some place else. I’ve also lived with my grandmother when I was very little according to my mum, I can’t remember.
The part that I’ve read today doesn’t really fit together with other books that I’ve read previously, because at the moment my character is taking drugs, and she’s high. I don’t really read these kinds of books very often.
This book does not remind me of my life at all. I think its way to dramatic and dangerous, scandalous. The whole idea about taking drugs, for me, is extremely wrong; this is why I can’t imagine myself ever being in this position.
If I had to pick a character that I would want to have as a friend is, Alice’s Jewish friend. She’s polite, smart, open minded, sweet, cares about people; she’s like a definition of a true friend in a way.
While reading the part that I was able to visualize the best, was when one of Alice “friend” injected something in her arm. At that same moment I automatically thought it was heroin…Alice is going to die.
