During my reading I came across some powerful messages and that’s people go through doing a certain drug. Kristina was a side to her that wants to have fun by doing drugs and these urges that Kristina gets has gotten her into the worst habit of all doing crystal meth. While reading the book Glass, by Ellen Hopkins, I encountered a message that really told me the story. The message was that life is to short to fit really bad mistakes.

One example of a powerful message was when Kristina the main character had be craving the feeling of being buzzed, she had driving out of her way to a destination that took 3 hours on the road and when she arrived, there was the supplier. They had entered his home and the author explained how she grew more anxious with every passing second. After reading this paragraph about her desires of meth, I thought to myself how she had ruined her life with even a tiny piece of meth. Another example is how she got pregnant because she thought she was ready meanwhile it was just the other side of her bree, talking to her telling her what to do while she was as high as the clouds. Reading these powerful descriptive writing I remembered, that growing up I learned how one mistake so big or so small could have the biggest most destructive impact on ones life. 

From reading this book I learned a very important message that it could be the smallest mistake or the big mistake doesn’t matter unless it is a costly mistake that could ruin something that your parents tried to keep on a straight road to success but one of those mistakes led to a bumpy road halting that success until corrected.
