Summer reading project Part 1.

My summer reading book is titled “Looking for Alaska” by John Green. This book has showed a great Interest to me, as of now I am on page 21. In this book I have found some major characters, these include - Miles Halter (Pudge), Chip Martin (Colonel), and Alaska. Some traits about these characters are for starters; Pudge who is starting a new Boarding School ‘Culver Creek’ located in Birmingham, Alabama. He wants a fresh start in looking for his Great Perhaps as did Francois Rabelais. Pudge is obsessed with famous people’s last words, so we will see how that helps him throughout the book. Colonel, a short, strong young man who is Pudges roommate and who also gives the nickname Pudge to Miles for being too skinny, this showing irony. Colonel is from New Hope, Alabama and is a third year resident at Culver Creek. Now, so far in this book there isn’t much to say about Alaska. All we know is that she has a boyfriend, a lot of unread books, and is a very smart, beautiful young lady who is attending this school as her third year as well. The whole setting of the book so far has taken place on campus of the school. Although this book may seem like it is going well, there is somewhat of a conflict. Alaska and Colonel have already been friends for a while now, and although Colonel and Pudge are just roommates, Colonel introduces Alaska and Pudge (who may have a new crush) They all become sudden friends even though they may be complete opposites or as Miles mom states “The wrong crowd.” I predict that they will all be great friends throughout the book and maybe Alaska and Pudge end up dating just based on the settings seen now. Does Pudge go with his stereo typical friend social group? Or choose the young teen party life with drugs, drinking and cigarettes? I think I know my answer but do you?
