Looking for Alaska Pt. 4

I chose Looking for Alaska mainly because it was written by John Green. I really loved The Fault in Our Stars and I was wanting to read a book by him again. The name of the story also intrigued me because I thought it would be about some wilderness adventure in Alaska but it was really about a secretly troubled soul named Alaska not the actual state. I didn`t really find any personal connections between myself and this book. I don`t have any troubled past and I do not attend a boarding school. I would recommend this book to other teenage girls because it is a lot like The Fault in Our Stars and a lot of teenage girls really loved that book. They also loved the movie. The book is also kind of a twisted love story between two very different people. Opposites attract.

Looking for Alaska Pt. 3

""No drugs. No drinking. No cigarettes." As an alumnus of Culver Creek, he had done the things I had only heard about: the secret parties, streaking through hay fields (he always whined about how it was all boys back then), drugs, drinking, and cigarettes. It had taken him a while to kick smoking, but his badass days were now well behind him." (Green 7) I chose this passage because it kind of intrigues the reader and shows how this book could contain some crazy experiences you want to read between the characters and how if it was like that back then for Miles` dad what it would be like now for kids their age. This passage also infers that Miles had chosen this school for all the crazy -experiences.This hooks the readers in wanting them to read more about what`s going to happen that will change Miles life forever. This passage also infers about the girls that were now accepted into Culver Creek and how there might be experiences that Miles has never had before with girls and making new friends that he will get into some trouble with.
