Journal Entry 4 (Pg. 74-97)

A. When Alice come home, everything is good. She feels loved, happy, and safe. As school starts back, Alice and Chris end up smoking and getting caught. Alice leaves and goes to a shelter and meets Doris. After some time, she's completely addicted and now does whatever she can just to get high. Even as she realizes whats she doing, she just gives up.

B. "Adolescents have a very rocky insecure time. Grown-ups treat them like children and yet expect them to act like adults. They give them orders like little animals, then expect them to react like mature, and always rational, self-assured persons of legal stature."(pg.76)

This passage show how Alice feels when it comes to parents. Everyone ends up feeling this at one point, especially when they're disagreeing with their parents.

C. If I met Alice, I'd ask her why she seemed to give up and give into drugs. She said she wouldn't let this happen again and I believe she should try to accept her parents help.

D. Alice has given up quickly. It's like she didn't even try to fight it. I can honestly say that i do and don't feel sorry for her and others like her. They seem to ignore everyone who doesn't agree with them and continue to ruin their lives just for a high.
