1) Looking for Alaska, starts out with a, “before” section and has each chapter counting down to an unknown event. John Green introduced the main character with pronouncing that Miles Halter was leaving his school and family in Florida to go to a boarding school in Alabama. Miles never really had friends and was hoping to seek a, “Great Perhaps” at Culver Creek Preparatory School. His parents drop him off, resentfully, and Miles was on his own. He met his roommate Chip Martin (the Colonel) and he showed him around. Miles met Alaska and Takumi and they gave him the nickname Pudge. Throughout the story, Pudge becomes really close with his three friends and they are all out to get the, “Weekday Warriors” or the rich kids. A group of guys from that pack pranked Alaska by flooding her room, destroying her books, for ratting on their friend and got her kicked out. After that they almost killed Pudge by throwing him into the lake tied up.

Though what happened afterwards was not revealed yet, the section foreshadows a nasty ending. The way Alaska demanded to run away from the school shows me that something clicked in her head that something is wrong. I am almost positive that the title is about Alaska running away after kissing Pudge and their friends have to look for her. 4) One night Pudge and Alaska were discussing book meanings when they started talking about a, “labyrinth”. Alaska said, “You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present” (Green 54). This quote explains a lot about Alaska’s very blunt personality. It shows that she tries to escape something and showing with her drinking and smoking. 5) My predictions for the next section are that it will be very unpredictable. I know for sure that Alaska will go missing; hence the title. I predict that Pudge and Lara will breakup as will Alaska and Jake. I think the Eagle will find out about the prank and Pudge will have to take the whole blame. At the end of the story I hope that Alaska and Pudge end up
