Topic+Proposal

The **anonymous diarist** and narrator of the fiction novel //Go Ask Alice//.
 * Callie** from //Cut,// written by Patricia McCormick. It's a fiction teenage novel.

My topic is the reality and difficulties people need to overcome to get over an addiction. Callie from //Cut// is addicted to self harm, or cutting herself. The diarist of //Go Ask Alice// is severely addicted to drugs. I will be addressing how a hero's mindset can affect the outcome of their journey to becoming addiction free. Also, I will engage in how a hero's home life can affect their decisions that will affect their journey, and how the feelings of addiction withdrawal can change a hero's decision to change their ways. I will talk about the reasons people get into drugs or self harming, and how the reasons relate to my heroes. I will be discussing how my heroes represent many people in their culture and society at the time. With my topic, I will be reaching the conclusion that people who overcome addictions, in my opinion are heroes.
