Kristina is a perfect example of someone who's trying to get
by in life. She's a student in high school, has decent grades and a moderate
amount of friends. However, all goes downhill when her mother begins dating
another man, and she must live with her drug-addicted father who she hasn't in
over eight years. This is where she is introduced to "Crank", the
monster, Methamphetamine. This is where, "Bree", Kristina's alter-ego
enters her world.
Of course there are endless possible outcomes when a
character is influenced by drugs. For example, Kristina could suddenly realize
her mistake of getting involved, and therefore take actions to correct this
through rehabilitation. However, she could spiral into the world of addiction
and follow her father’s footsteps as an impulsive being. From looking at
certain characteristics of Kristina, I have a feeling that her future might
turn out for the worst. For example, from what I’ve read so far Kristina seems
like an innocent and shy person that could easily get caught up in the havoc of
drugs. In a way, she also seems like someone who’s lost interest in everything
and as a result turns to drugs. Hopefully, we’ll find out as I continue to read
the book.
I really dislike books that are written in poetry, and despite everyone telling me that this book is great, I never read it even though I had no idea what it was about. Now that I know I think I will seriously consider reading this book. Thanks!
