Looking for Alaska


Hello, in this entry I'm going to talk about the book, Looking for Alaska, written by John Green.

Miles Halter (Pudge), is fascinated by famous last words–and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Pudge at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

Characters:

Miles Halter: The protagonist. Tall and skinny, his friends at Culver ironically nickname him "Pudge". He is attracted to Alaska Young.
Alaska Young: The wild, moody, unpredictable, beautiful and enigmatic girl who captures Miles' attention and heart. She acts as a confidant to her friends, frequently assisting them in personal matters, as well as dealing in cigarettes and alcohol.
Chip Martin: Five feet tall but "built like Adonis", he is Alaska's best friend and Miles' roommate. His nickname, the Colonel, comes from his being the strategic mastermind behind the schemes that Alaska concocts.
Takumi Hikohito: A surprisingly gifted MC/hip-hop enthusiast, and friend of Alaska and Chip.
Lara Buterskaya: She is Alaska's friend and eventually became Miles' ex-girlfriend.
Mr. Starnes: The stern Dean of Students at Culver Creek. He is nicknamed "The Eagle" by Chip.
