The book starts with forward which is by David Bennett; he is the head of Adolescent Medicine at a hospital in New South Wales. He talks about how he is moved by the story. This is included because he is a doctor and because he sees so much suffering and bad things in his line off work. It talks about how he is moved by what has happened, this is supposed to make us think that we too should feel some sort of sorrow for Anna Wood because he would not be moved by something that wasn't very sad. The letter from Kate Ceberano is put in so that we see that someone popular (a teen idol) is giving up her time to include a message about drugs being bad. We are supposed to look u

"I didn't realise that Anna was ever unhappy until after she died and I read her letters. She was apparently angry that her mum was working long hours and weekends and I was away a lot in the last 3 months before she died."

"The first time I tried dope I was at Anna's house." pg 60.

"It wasn't his fault. It wasn't anyone's fault." pg 176.

In the middle is the information that turns the book into a non-fiction expository text. We get a big chunk of facts about drugs and alcohol. It gives us long explanations about the drugs and this information is repeated over and over just using different words. This is trying to show us the dangers of these different things thought it just bores us. The inclusion of these facts is supposed to inform us and scare us into not experimenting with drugs.
