Who's Who?


I miss her dearly, but I know she is having fun. My mom and father are taking care of her, and keeping a watchful eye on her. She'll be fine. With the dad's stroke, though, I don't know if everything is alright with them. She'll be okay--she knows what's right and what's wrong. I mean, what's the worse that can happen? Mom can get mad at her attitude? Dad can get irritated with how energetic she is? The madness here at home is something she shouldn't need to deal with. I love her so much, and I trust her enough to know that she's making her grandparents happy.

Poor little girl, having to sit here with us. I feel bad for her, sitting with her grandparents all summertime. She's a good girl...although she is gone all of the time. And she always is hanging out with "Chris," whoever that is. Me and Clifford love having her here to talk to, she's always so easy going, so low maintenance. I wish she was home at night time, in fact, I'm not sure where she even is right now. Oh well, off with friends, I think it's a teenager thing. She'll be excited when she's home to see that we are visiting Tyler tomorrow! Such a good girl deserves good rewards!

I'm done. I can't deal with this anymore. The LSD, the weed, the acid. I don't want to live like this anymore. I don't even know where I am. Should I call grandma? Should I call mom? Where is Chris? Why aren't these people listening to me? Why are these people here? I don't know what to do--this isn't healthy living. No body wants to realize, wants to notice that I'm not the same. My friends aren't the same, my physical appearance isn't the same, my character isn't the same. I need to get home, back to my home, not the slob of the cottage that I'm staying at. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.



The point of the view of the book Go Ask Alice would be different if someone else was the main character. If it wasn't 1st person of the girl going through all of the troubles, Alice, and if it was someone she knows, like her mom, nothing in the book would have been the same. Her mom knew nothing of the Alice's struggles with drugs, alcohol, self harm, prostitution or suicide until towards the ending of the book when the girl moves back in with her. If the story were to be told through her mom's eyes, the story would be a bit boring, considering she doesn't see the Alice until the ending and she has no connection to anything that is going on with her.  

If it were in the point of view of another character in the book that was actually with the main character like her friend, Chris, that would be a whole different story. Since Chris has been through almost everything that has gone on with Alice, if she was the one that was writing the diary about the Alice's life, she would explain how she sees her, other than Alice talking about herself. The main character may has a different perception on things that Chris would, so if the story on Alice's life was told through Chris, the places they went to would be the same, but the times they had and the things that they experienced would not.
