Conclusion BLOG#6

In my previous blog I mentioned that my ISU book, "Go Ask Alice" has evolved its social issue. the social issue now is dealing with grief of a loved one and reacting to these tragedy using different coping methods. Alice's mother deals with the death of her parents by redecorating the whole house and crying continuously whereas, Alice deals with it differently by taking drugs and continuously relapsing throughout the novel.

In this picture below you can see a girl grieving and there is a brief description about "the grieve." 

This image relates really well with my social issue as the main character is grieving throughout the whole novel. Alice (the protagonist) is coping with the many changes in her life. She deals with the loss of her grandparents and starts to get a sense of isolation. "I don't need the sleep as much as I need the escape. I think I can't stand it and then I just take a pill ans wait for the sweet nothingness to take over. At this stage in my life nothingness is a lot better than somethingness." This quote is very famous as it tells the people who don't take drugs on how the ones that do feel.
