Go Ask Alice By Anonymous 
Prompt: Summarize what you read today.    
Pages Read: 0-58

"Go Ask Alice" by Anonymous is diary of an actual 15 year old girl who got into drugs. She was a really good student, she had honors and her parents were really proud of her. Until one day they had to move houses. Everything changed for her.. new home, new school, and new friends. When school was finally over she went to spend the summer with her grandma and while she was there she got invited to a party. At the party she was served a coke which had LSD in it. Everything changed for her.

In the book "Go Ask Alice" from pages 0 to 58 it talked about how Alice is slowing become more and more addicted to the drugs. On page 31 it talked about how she got invited to a party. During that party they played a game and they gave everyone a coke. She got a coke too but what she didn't know was that 10 out of the 14 cokes had LSD in them. Alice had no idea. After she had her first try of drugs her curiosity overcame her. She began so get curious of how the other drugs tasted. Then she tried acid, speed, and she even smoked pot. Over what I have read so far it shows Alice is slowly becoming more addicted to drugs.


She is also taking drugs as a part of her everyday life. Her friend Chris gave her a drug pill in shape of a heart. She said to take them when she is depressed or feeling sad. Alice is slowing become addicted to those because she takes them everyday so that she could have enough energy for the whole day. Then at night she takes tranquilizers and sleeping pills. She is slowing becoming more and more addicted to the drugs.

(I know I never mentioned the name of the girl in the book and it is because it never mentions it in the book)

  1. It looks like she has to take drugs to do pretty much everything. I would love to see what happens next, I hope it gets better.

  4. Jared -

    This is not a summary; instead this is a detailed account about everything that happened. A summary highlights the main points of what occurs. Let's try to focus on a one paragraph summary and then another prompt for the other two paragraphs.
