A Verwachtingen en eerste reactie
The reason that I've chosen this book is that I thought, by reading the back of the book, it would be an interesting and good book.
My first impression of the book was that it is a touching story, while I was reading it, it was like it was me who was going through everything, it felt as if I was Alice.

Alice was een meisje die zichzelf te dikvondt en probeert af te vallen. In haar klas had ze niet veel vrienden en toen dan ook nog eens haar vriendje Roger de verkering uitmaakte leek het alsof haar hele wereld in elkaar stortte. Toen hoorde ze dat ze gingen verhuizen. Ze besloot een nieuw fijn leven te beginnen, maar op haar nieuwe saaie school heeft ze geen vrienden en voelt ze zich erg onzeker.
Dan ontmoet ze een joods meisje, Beth, waar ze heel goed mee kan opschieten en haar alles kan vertellen. Maar als het zomervakantie wordt gaat Beth op zomerkamp voor joodse kinderen en kan Alice niet mee. Ze besluit naar haar oma en opa te gaan, waar ze Jill, een meisje van haar vorige school tegenkomt. Jill nodigt haar uit voor haar feest en Alice besluit er heen te gaan. Ze wist niet dat ze daar in 10 van de 14 flesjes cola LSD hadden gedaan! Toen ze een flesje dronk begon ze te zweten en voelde ze een storm in haar lichaam, dat beschrijft ze erg mooi in haar dagboek. Al hoewel dit haar eerste keer was vond ze het een fijne ervaring. Ze besloot geen drugs meer te nemen, maar bleek toch niet sterk genoeg te zijn en niet 100 % achter haar besluit te staan. Jill bracht haar thuis en de volgende dag wilde ze al marihuana proberen, al gauw gebruikt ze steeds meer zoals peppillen en tranquillizers, ook gaat ze drugs snuiven en spuiten. Vooral Bill, een vriend van haar, haalde haar steeds over en hij is ook met haar naar bed gegaan. Nachten kon ze niet slapen om het feit dat ze misschien zwanger zou kunnen zijn. Ze had iemand nodig om mee te praten en ontmoette Chris, een meisje van een boetiek, die haar weer aan de peppillen brengt.
This book was a good read for me, but I also read book reviews to help me keep track on what I am reading. These book reviews just made a better understanding of what I was reading.
Go Ask Alice is the diary of a young 15 year old drug abuser. At the beginning of the book, "Alice" is a typical, insecure, middle class teenager that only thinks with boys, diets, and popularity. She never taught of getting into drugs. This girl had a lot of self esteem, and was very happy. Her life changes for the worse when her family moves to a new town and she finds herself less popular and more isolated than ever before. That is why she buys this diary to express herself with personal taughts. She becomes unhappy in the new town, she is overjoyed to be allowed to return to the old town to spend the summer with her grandparents. During this stay she is invited to a party by an old acquaintance; there she unwittingly ingests LSD that had been added to random bottles of Coca Cola and distributed to the party guests as a game. The other guests had mistakenly assumed Alice was aware of what the "game" entailed. After this, she seeks drugs deliberately, and rapidly proceeds to marijuana, amphetamines, and casual sex. A pregnancy scare and the return to her new town encourage her to turn away from drugs; however she soon falls in with the drug crowd where finally she finds acceptance. She starts dating a drug dealer and sells drugs to grade-schoolers for him. After realizing he was using her, she turns him in to the police and runs away from home with her new friend Chris, moving to San Francisco. After being given heroin and then being raped by Chris' boss, Shelia and her boyfriend, she and Chris return home.
Before I get into all the specifics I’m going to give you a summary of the book I picked
...rt van fraude waarbij de misdadiger een ander persoon beroofd van geld of eventueel andere kostbare bezittingen. Oplichters proberen zo creatieve mogelijk nieuwe manieren te vinden om de mensen te kunnen oplichten Ookal maakt men hierbij gebruik van het internet. Het is en blijft een misdrijf..
The novel „Go Ask Alice” was written by Beatrice Sparks in 1971. It is set in the United States of America in the late 1960’s and is written in form of a diary of a confused and troubled fifteen-year-old girl, named Alice(presuming the title of the novel references to her name).
*All in all I would say that this novel is definitely a good read. I found my self at times relating my own thoughts and experiences to that of the characters in the book. This is the very reason I would recommend that you give your class next semester the option of reading either this book or another. From my point of view, I think that most men can not relate to certain situations that occur, which lessens the overall significance of her writing.
Have you ever dealt with so much in life that you began taking all the anger out on yourselves, especially since you're maturing into adulthood? "Go Ask Alice" is a non-fiction diary, written by an anonymous author in the late 1960's. Alice, the main character, begins a diary because she has no one else to talk too, and she spends her energy searching not for drugs, but for someone who will understand her. The drugs only create the temporary illusion that she is in touch with nature and people. Alice is a curious, committed young adult for three reasons. She runs away from home and begins a new start, she's been influenced on how good drugs are, and she's committed to stay off of drugs no matter what.
This book helped me get much or my information about the book. It had good straight forward information. Did not take much searching to find what I needed. It provided me with good facts about the characters I used.
Reading through the novel, Go Ask Alice, finding out all of the unbelievable, yet true, experiences and feelings of Alice is quite shocking. No matter how shocking they may seem, you can very easily relate those experiences and feelings to those of a typical day-in and day-out teenager. Those characteristics being loneliness, a generation gap, and defiance.
Although I could not relate to the main character in many ways this book was very interesting and eye opening.
This book is based on a true diary of a young girl who got mixed up in
My overall opinion of this book is good I really liked it and recommend it to anyone. It is a good book to read and it keep you interested throughout the whole book.
Eight years have passed. The narrator is 26 years old, and is now a mother; just like Alice. In the eight years Alice had lost her husband and two of her children. She is old and has tumor filled knees. Alice says in lines 98-105, “And in those eight years I had married and become the mother of sons and did not always keep my floors clean or my hair combed or my legs oiled and I learned to like the taste of beer and how to talk the bad-woman talk… Alice, when I saw her again, was in black, after the funeral of my brother.” It wasn’t until the narrator had gone through exactly what Alice had gone through did she realize why Alice had lived the way she did. In lines 113-117, she says, “When I found Alice sitting alone… I was afraid to speak because there was too much I wanted to say.”
Helaas gaan in onze samenleving geweld en wangedrag vaak samen. Dit heeft altijd al bestaan in onze samenleving en dit is helaas nooit volledig verdwenen door behulp van doelbewuste ingrepen.
