Feliz

I am currently at the point in Go Ask Alice where she has just returned from San Fransisco. Her parents just picked her up from the airport, and she is going to return home. I feel let down because every time she has written that she was giving up all the drugs, she turns around and starts up again. There is a funny pattern that she follows over and over again. In one entry, she talks about her drug trip very fondly, then she describes how she feels after she comes down. Following those entries is always one about how she is never going to touch any of the drugs again. For the next couple journal entries, she thinks everything in the world is lovely, and everyone in her family is just the greatest. The let down is that immediately following the happy feelings is another diary entry that describes in detail how she got sucked back down again. Point being, I predict that the experience in San Fransisco will be her last downfall. I am predicting this based more on what I would like to see happen than what I actually can picture happening. There may be too many pages left in the book for San Fransisco to be her last adventure. She has goals to become a therapist to help kids like her turn their lives around. This proves that she does know what she is doing is wrong, but the underlying craving for her high keeps coming back. I hope that she turns out alright and sane by the end of the book!
