Guided Repsonse: The title of Crank

So far i love Crank, since it is all in poems. It took me awhile to understand how everything is being said, but i love this book! It is hard to put down because its heart wrenching because it is her dad, and the first boy she ever loved have the biggest influence in her life. The title it called Crank the word is spelled out in cocaine so when you first see it, you already have an idea about what is going on in the story, and it is called crank because there is a line in the book that shows you why she explains her first time trying like being on a rollercoaster the feeling you get when you are on your way up scared, anxious, nervous, then you hear it going to the top crank, crank, crank. Then it is here the feeling of excitement and flying all rolled up into one.
