Characters and Their Futures



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. 
 
That may sound like an exciting book but really that was 1 page out of 55. The other 54 were very boring. But who knows, it might get better. Maybe. 

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.
