This book ends in what I'm sure most people always assumed who knew Alice. An overdosage of heroin. No surprises. Whether it was suicide or not, however is undetermined. This just goes to show that everything teachers nowadays is necessary. Had teachers of tht day in age been the same, Alice would most likely still be alive. A vital quote to the overall theme of the book is Alice telling her diary that "But I think when a person gets older she should be able to discuss her problems and thoughts with other people, instead of just with another part of herself as you have been to me." This shows how badly her past drug experiences had made her inside. The only way she could truly communicate her feelings was through a diary thtat only she, herself was able to view. As I already stated, this does not surprise me , as well as most other readers, I'm sure. This book just shows how help is always necessary, and as much of it that is needed should be gotten.
