The First Stone: Alex's story *TW*

WARNING TOUCHES ON SUICIDE

The First Stone is a novel by Don Aker. As and assignment, as i read this book in my grade 10 applied English class, I had to choose from the characters in the novel and write something as if I were them. I wrote about Alex, the gay kid in the novel, whose story was only briefly touched upon. I wrote it as if Alex was writing a blog. An important note in the book is that the reason Alex is in the group home for troubled teens is because he attempted suicide. I hope you enjoy how I continued his story.
