Entry Four
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Bryce Conner
This book earlier in the year caught my eye because I had a friend that read it and he said it was a great read, so i thought why not read it in the summer? and i really hoped and hoped it would be on the list and it did, it turned out to be a very good read, it had everything, romance, action, drama, comedy, I could recommend to most mature teens. I found several personal connections towards this book, because most of the kids didn't have the best relationships with there parents and I can relate to that because i'm a difficult teenager that doesn't realize that my parents do everything for me. I would recommend this book to any gender and age range 13-20 basically teens and up because of the sexual content and alcohol references, but overall a great novel i enjoyed it very much.

A very good hooking point in this book would have to be on pages 106-107. Personally it does a really good job of providing imagery of an action scene, and who doesn't love action?? Yeah exactly. The scene is about an eagle outside of Pudges house, he goes out in his pj's and sets off firecrackers and the eagle goes souring off, then while chasing it, the author does a really good job of providing suspense throughout Pudge chasing the bird. later in the chasing, Pudge gets bit by a swan and the author once again does a great job of describing Pudge's reaction towards getting bit. Overall this section is a great part of the book that intrigues the reader and makes them want to read more.

The complexity of Alaska is that she finds a lot of fun in doing drugs, sex, alcohol, and causing havoc. Further in the books she vividly explains her passion for reading, It seems to be the only thing that can get her out of trouble. On the other hand , Pudge , is a nerd who really enjoys history and he is so smart that he knows almost every last words of famous people. He really likes Alaska but is too afraid to make a move due to the fact of that he is afraid of rejection. A good lesson I learned while reading this novel is that if you find a hobby you love, or have a lot of passion for, stick with it! Dont be ashamed for doing whatever it is u want to do, dont worry about what other people think, just go for it. I think this because in the novel, every character has something they love to do and they aren't afraid to show it. The way this book was structured is that there are no chapters, the way it is written is that each "chapter" is just a summary of each day or event, but they end just as a chapter would.

The majors characters within "Looking for Alaska" by John Green would definitely be Pudge His roommates describe him as "Irony" But he is a skinny and also described as a thoughtful kid who remembers the last words of famous people. Another huge characters is obviously Alaska, pudge has a crush on her and thinks she is an amazing girl. The main conflict is Colonel, Pudge, Lara, and Takumi are trying to find out how and why Alaska died, they are all determined because it is a mystery. Predictions i made early on in the book is that Alaska finds a lot of pleasure in drugs , sex , and alcohol. And the thing I noticed about Pudge is that he is nerd who really likes history. A text to self connection I made is Miles "Pudge" throughtout the story is trying to find his true identity. In the beginning, he starts off as Miles, and when he starts attending Culver Creek High School he is now Pudge. He starts drinking alcohol, smoking. After the death of Alaska, he finally finds the real him.
