We Always Want More

"Red and raw like my heart..."  

         In the book Crank by Ellen Hopkins it is about how a perfect girl,Kristina, gets addicted to a drug. It changes her life 360 degrees. She doesn't realize that this would affect her life and also the damage this drug does to you.  So she changes her name and her identity yet she is still the same person. One thing I have realized is that once you get addicted to it you can't really stop and you want more just as if you like someone. So I chose this line because Kristina/Bree likes it so much, it is similar to a heart.
         This line really spoke to me because she found someone that she likes yet she also found a monster that she likes even though it is torturing her around. When I think about this I am surprised how many people are at the peak of the mountain and once they meet it they fall back down from where they started. Something so small can control you around and it can even lead you to changing who you are. This is so addicting that you would want more every time just like when you like someone. You would want to see them more often and you think that they keep your heart beating. Though what we don't realize is that it starts to control you and we can't even see it to stop it from controlling you.
        I have seen so many people get addicted and they have finished in destruction. so many girls have babies at such a young age because they fall in to something that they can't see coming. These girls just get addicted to these guys that they don't see what they are doing. They just think about them 100% of the time. they don't see the damage coming towards them. We fall in to deep holes, that sometimes we don't know how to dig our way back out.

In What Category Do We fit?

   In the book Sold by Patricia McCormick the conditions that they live in are really low. We in our country we always say that we are so poor; but one thing that we don't consider are the conditions that other people in other countries live in. For example, in the book it says that to even have a tin roof it is a sign of luxury. Something so simple as a tin roof is worth millions for them. We usually always complain because don't have a television. They survive everyday with what they can afford; even if it means a tin roof with a hut made out of clay. When we have a brick home. We are so selfish that we only care about what we have and not others.
