"Crank" Kristina Georgia Change

Kristina Georgia is the main character of the book, in the first part of the book she is just a kinda quiet girl who keeps to herself. She isnt known much by people in her Highschool in Reno Nevada. Then she goes to live with her dad for the summer in Albequerque, which turns out to be one of the worst decisons that she makes. I say this because when she moves in with her dad Kristina falls for a local boy named Adam who also goes by Buddy. Its crazy because Kristina also goes by another name to people who dont really knowe her, which is her bad side Bree. She kinda has a sort of Clyde and Jeckle thing going on. Kristina falls for Buddy although, he has a girlfriend. He introduces her to Meth, which forever changes the person she is. "Crank" or the monster slowly starts to take over her, especially when she gets depressed or something. She starts to use the drug more and more heavily meanwhile deserting her friends and blowing off her family."Crank" has changed Kristina from this quiet young girl to a wild teenager seeking attention and ready to party and "Crank" at any moment. The choice Kristina made to try meth will forever change her as a person.

Free Response(Crank)

As I continue reading the book "Crank", Im starting to feel more and more uneasy and concerned about the main character Kristina or Bree as she call herself. The young girl continues to fall deeper and deeper into deception and drug abuse. At and early point in the book she does methanphetamine pr "Crank" with her father. At that point I realized this book is going to get really crazy. I would never do something like that with my kid if i ever have any. It just blows my mind that even her own father would let her fall and do one of the most dangerous drugs out there today. I mean i can see her father didn't have a great upbringing or even a good life for that matter. Even if that is the case you just dont do meth with your kid. Its sad to see that this girl is just looking for love in all the wrong places. I know this happens in real life all the time, meaning kids turning to drugs in place of the love that they are seeking. The main emotion i am feeling at this moment is sadness for this young lady. Meth is no joke, and she prolly will not be able to beat the drug. Im going to continue to read "Crank"and see if she can beat the "Monster"

Crank guided response

The book "Crank" has me itching to want and read more of the book already, and im not even that far into it yet. The book is already filled with alot of sexual refrences and major drug abuse. The main cahracter is a girl named Kristina Georgia Snow. My first opinion of the girl is that she is crazy, just because of the simple fact that she goes by and alter ego. "Bree" is Kristinas alter ego and that is basically her "wild" or "bad" side. It seems that she basically hates her life and whenever things go bad or not her way she turns into "Bree". She tells the reader in the begining of the book that she basically no longer has no family and feels alone. Kristina also come off to me as a girl seeking attention because she does not like the way her life is. Kristina seems to be a typical teenage girl that hang around with the wrong people, because she wants to feel wanted or seeks attention.The bad decisions that Kristina Snow had mad will lead her to fall deeper and deeper for the monster or "Crank"
