A. Alice calls her parents and life seems to return to normal for her. She has stayed away from drugs, her grades are up and her parents are happy. Some time later, Alice is somewhat outcasted because of what she did and those who use drugs try to pressure her to go back to using drugs. Her granddad had a stroke and died, leaving Alice and her family in a funk they slowly pull themselves out of.
B. "I have to force myself to concentrate in school. I didn't know that death took so much out of people. I feel completely drained still and have to force myself into everything i do."(Pg.120)
This passage show the effect death has on everyone. Just like Alice, some people have to force themselves to do things and the feel so drained. Everyone is affected but one person's death.
C. I see Alice as determined. Since she got back home, she has done everything to make sure she doesn't slip up and that her family is happy. Even with people messing with her at school, she does her best not to give in and to go through this.
D. Alice has gotten a lot better at this point. She seems stronger, more appreciative, and more willing to comply with her parents. She shows a lot of strength in giving up drugs and moving forward. She might weaken alittle but she will remain strong.
