Looking for Alaska

CHasing alaska is about A boy. His name is Pudge. it is an ironic nickname because he is skinny. Heeventually goes to a private school, and meets a lot of people but only three of them are really important: The colonel; a poor boy, Alaska; the title character, and Lara; his ROMANIAN friend who becomes his girlfriend. Anyway them and their friends have a lot of shenanigans and play pranks on a group of people who only go to there schools on the weekday called the weekday warriors. They all go out drinking and Alaska runs off in her car and dies. When she dies the colonel and pudge try to figure out if it was suicide. They give up and remake the relationships.
I think that this book is a good testament to real life.It records the trials of real life.

  1. Stephen,

    I think your last statement is pretty accurate (the book bring true to real life). I think it is a very good example of a kid (pudge) trying his best to fit in, be cool, and catch the eye of the girl while still trying to balance his parents' expectations.

    Do you think these kinds of high-junx typically go on at boarding schools?
