I noticed that in the past two books I read by Ellen Hopkins they both have the same types of things: drugs, sex, and family issues. Matter a fact I noticed that in all of Ellen Hopkin's young adult novels they all have to do with very graphic issues like drugs and addiction. In Identical, Raeanne is always smoking weed then having sex with ____. Then when she does this routine with another guy she discovers that ____ and her have a connection. This affected Raeanne because now she knows what _____ is all about and what he wants from her.
It is amazing how people use things that are harmful to them like drugs to help re-leave things and how much these drugs affect families and lives. This issue has come up a lot in my life like in campaigns and rumors and such so I have been thinking about all the different angles. like in fallout the mother was on drugs and the whole family just fell apart and had to live with different relatives. This caused major family issues and like I said drugs lead to other issues and affect families. The thing is they're so many families in America dealing with family members being addicted and other things like gangs. But when the families cant help these family memebers other people step in like agencies and the authorities. this then makes matters worse and makes the family more corrupt and in denial. This is why drugs and other things that harm people in bad ways and other things that corrupt lives become a way of living for people that chose this life.
if even one person gets involved in one corrupting thing or sees one then that can change that person forever. that one thing they saw or did might or will just make them "feed" off of that experience and do what ever the can to get what they want. No matter how high the cost or deed to get what they want they will do it. Maybe this is the main reason why families become corrupt because the person is only focused on the thing that corrupted them.

fall out 2
In the book fallout by Ellen Hopkins Seth just had a serious talk with his father and his father didn't know he was the father. He was shocked and then Seth is now getting in trouble because his girl friend just found out about Leah and the girlfriend is really pissed. Autumn is starting to drink her grandpas alcohol and wants sex from Bryce all the time. Her aunt doesn't know anything about this only that Autumn is going out with Bryce. Then there is Summer who was talking with her dad on how he met her mother.
I noticed that all the characters have another side to them. Autumn is this nice girl that is very boring and now she is full of life and crazy about what is going on. Seth is this laid back kid who has his life made and now he is very full of himself and a drinker. Then for summer she was this very shy person who hated her father and now she is very nice and open and really wants to connect with her father. And also Summers dad is always drunk and high and just annoying now after opening up to Summer he is very gentle and nice and sad. I also noticed that Seth is doesn't really think about his actions he just does it then forgets it. Then when it re-surfaces he gets in trouble and remembers fine an tries to weasel his way out of trouble.
I think though that all of the kids will met some where and then have a discussion on there lives. Then they will all share their thoughts on Kristina and then there fathers or "parents". And try and talk to the fathers of the children to try and explain everything to them. Lastly they will find Kristina and try to help her to make her life better and maybe try to get her off crank. Or that all fails and when they meet Kristina they will all be converted to crank and there lives will be ruined and live "happily" together on crank.

Fall out
In the book Fallout by Ellen Hopkins it is about the kids of a mother who is addicted to crystal meth. The story is told through each of the three kids voices and how they are living there lives. The kids don't live together and they are living with different families because they were adopted as kids i believe. The first kids name is Seth and he lives with his grandma and grandpa. Then there is Autumn she lives with her aunt and a different grandpa. And lastly there is Summer who was on a foster home who is now with her dad.
I have noticed that Seth is sort of getting to be like his birth mother Kristina because he is the one that is always getting laid and doing drugs to relieve stress or problems but he isn't doing crank and getting buzzed all the time. I do believe though he is going to get addicted to something and then his whole life will be ruined. Another thing I realized is that all of the characters are different but there is one part of them that resembles Kristina in them. In Seth it is the drugs part, in Autumn it is the smart part and clean part, and in Summer it is the protective part of her no matter what state she is in. I also noticed they all focus on there words and what they mean and that they all have there share of secrets and dark places in there mind.
I infer that Seth will become a different version of his birth mother like a druggie but not to crank and that some of his life will be ruined and not all and also that he will make some regretful mistakes. Also that he might have to chose between living a secret life that his parents don't know about or even Nikki his girl friend or live a life his parents know about and hate him for. Then I infer for Autumn that she will be with Bryce (new guy that likes autumn) for awhile then when they break up she will break down and go to crank as a way to "heal" her pain and sorrow and then she will live the same fate as her birth mother. Then for Summer I infer that she will be very happy with Kyle(new boyfriend) but Matt(Kyle's best friend and sort of Summers now old boyfriend) will be very pissed and break down(maybe) and try to get summer back or just hate the both of them. While Summer on the other hand will be ready for anything that happens between Kyle and her in their relationship and that if they break up Summer will be ready for it but will still break down inside. The reason is because now she is even more torn up ever since she was-i believe she was-raped at one of her old foster homes.
