Hi guys!! So I’ve continued reading “Looking for Alaska”, and
I am on page 55. So far the book has been pretty boring. Miles, known as Pudge,
has arrived at a boarding school called Culver Creek and met Chip, known
as the Colonel, Alaska, and Takumi. The richer boarders, known as the weekday warriors,
blamed the Colonel for ratting out someone and getting them expelled and to get
back at him they duct-taped Pudge and threw him into the lake.
Anyway, even though I mentioned three people Pudge met earlier,
there are really only two other main characters so far. Alaska and the Colonel.
Alaska is from a small town in Alabama
and just wants to move somewhere bigger. She also wants to “teach disabled kids”
who have autism. (pg. 53) She is unpredictable though. Odd. No one really gets
her, but she doesn’t mind.
The Colonel is intelligent; he got into Culver Creek
on a scholarship. We don’t know yet what his plans are for his future, but I think
he will end up teaching history because he can name off every single country in
alphabetical order.
We don’t know what Pudge wants to do with his life either.
He likes reading biographies and he memorizes famous people last words, so I think
he might become a biography writer or maybe a history teacher.
