Summer Reading Assignment part 1

            For my Summer Reading Assignment I chose to read the book Looking for Alaska Bye John Green. If you have read The Fault In Our Stars also by John Green, you would most defiantly enjoy reading his other books.

            While reading this book I have come across many characters. The main characters of this book would mostly be Alaska, Pudge, and the Colonel. Pudge and Colonel are not their actual names but more of their nicknames. Pudge’s real name is Miles Cavalry and the Colonel’s real name is Chip Martin. Alaska, Pudge and the Colonel all met at a boarding school called Culver Creek in Alabama. Alaska and Colonel already knew each other because they have been at Culver Creek for a few years and this is Pudge’s first year. Colonel and Pudge met in a very awkward situation involving Pudge standing in a towel after his shower while his roommate (Colonel) unpacks.

          Pudge is the more quiet, shy, but very smart person who knows famous peoples last words before they pass away. While the Colonel, is also very smart he is the more social butterfly who likes to party. The Colonel introduces Pudge to Alaska while sneaking around the campus to have a smoke in the woods.

            So far, the conflict in Looking for Alaska is some guys from the Weekend Warriors (a group of rich kids who aren’t very smart) basically kidnaps Pudge in his sleep, duct tape his legs, arms and hands together and throw him in a river to basically drown.  Another conflict that happened would be Alaska, Pudge, the Colonel and some others of their friend group got caught smoking by the Eagle and had to be punished. Also, the last conflict I have read being not far along in my book, Pudge is falling for Alaska, but Alaska has a boyfriend.

            I predict when reading further into my book, Alaska and her boyfriend named Jake, will somehow break up and Alaska will end up falling in love with Pudge, like he fell in love with her.
