Authors Purtpos for Go Ask Alice

The authors purpose was to express the built up emotions that a drug addicted teenager would have at that time frame in her life. Firstly the book is a journal and the soul purpose of a journal is to write down feelings and issues to get them out or just to talk about daily life, therefore this is a expressive piece of literature. Alice is always talking about what is going on in her life, it can be her moving to a new town or how she needs to loose weight or weather or not she should sleep with so and so. In conclusion expression is the authors purpose.

Go Ask Alice

I have decided to read Go Ask Alice, mainly after the engaging conversation that we had in class today.  Moreover, it sounds like it would be a novel that would allow me to "get into it" and enjoy reading a non-fiction book(not normally my cup of tea).

I recomend "Lone Survivor"

I would recommend this book to AP students. If a student would enjoy an inspirational story of a hero and his time on an operation in Afghanistan, than this is a great book for them. However, this book does have some vivid details on how his friends died and it touches on religion, this could upset some people. All in all this is one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read.

Summary

The book “Lone Survivor” is an autobiography about a Navy SEAL named Marcus Luttrell. Marcus gives the reader a peak into his life. He talks about his training and most of all Hell Week. Even before that he tells about the training around the age fifteen with and ex-marine named Billy Shelton. This was when Marcus knew that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL. Marcus also goes into grim detail about the special operation in Afghanistan where his brothers in arms died. Moreover, he shows the reader what happened when people who are total strangers aided him in returning home.
