Go ask Alice Anonymous Reading log 1 1. The owner of the diary seems to live in a quite nice place but with a greyish fog hanging over the place all the time, which she transmits over to the reader. The fog is a mix of insecureness, sadness and hope. She seems to be like a usual girl in her age with boy-problems and a common insecureness of herself. The first lines in the book describes the last mentioned quite well: “Yesterday I remember thinking I was the happiest person in the whole earth, in the whole galaxy, in all of God’s creation. Could that only have been yesterday or was it endless light-years ago? I was thinking that the grass had never smelled grassier, the sky had never seemed so high. Now it’s all smashed down upon my head and I wish I could just melt into the blaaaa-ness of the universe and cease to exist. Oh, why, why, why can’t I?” 2. Roger, the boy who shattered her whole universe. - Dad, her dad. A person that is there through the whole diary. He works at the university and in the beginning he seems just as not understanding as her mum. The girl doesn’t tell so much about how her parents are, only about their relationship that throughout the book is shifting. - Mum, the girl has problems grasping her mums actions and arguments but their relationship grows tighter. - Tim, her younger brother. She tells us she feels a bit jealous about her younger sister and brother. She thinks that her parents favourise them. Her relation to her sister and brother consisting of hate and love is one of the main subjects in the book even if it isn’t talked about directly all the time. - Alexandria, her younger sister. She has like her brother no problem to get new friends after the moving to a new town. This affects the girl in a bad way because she feels even more jealous and worthless because it takes her a long time get any friends at all. - The friends in the old town. No one is being very closely described and almost all of them seem to be the same. The girl doesn’t feel comfortable in their company and often stays at home when there’s a party going on. 3. It appears to be in an American city with not too big population. I think the year is something like 1995. It’s late 20th century anyway. 4. No I don’t like it. It’s too much girl babbling. I really can live without all that! I think it’s more of a girl’s book now in the beginning.
