Culver Creek

    Looking for Alaska is a book written by John Green about a 16 years old teenager named Miles Halter going to a college in Alabama. The book starts with him going to Culver Creek college and being assign to room 43 with his roommate Chip Martin (The Colonel), when they first meet The Colonel wanted to give Miles a nickname so he decided Pudge. The Colonel introduces Alaska Young and Pudge and they became friends eventually. Pudge also has a talent to remember last words of famous people. Alaska, The Colonel and Mile have some friends around campus like Takumi Hikohito, Lara Buterskay. The book so far is just introducing the characters and giving a backstory of the main 3 characters, but is interesting so far.

WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN ALASKA AND PUDGE.










   "The fear and excitement of living in a place where you never know whats going to happen or when." (Green,29)
      
     The quote is after some seniors pulled a prank on Pudge and the quote I think it explains and foreshadow stuff. I think the quote is saying like after the prank anything is possible, but it could be also foreshadowing that some big and excited things are coming in the book.

"Shes cute, I thought, but you don't need to like a girl who treats you like your ten: you've already got a mom." (Green,34)

     The quote is very important to the relationship between Alaska and Pudge because this is the first time he has said that he kind of likes her but I don't know if it will turn into something else because Alaska already has a boyfriend but who know maybe something will happen and I really ship it.

 The book so far is good I like John Green's way of writing, I think I like it so much because i have read 2 books by him before this one Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Paper Towns. I like how the relationship between Pudge and Alaska is developing slowly but I really want them together it would be so fun to read how they would be in a relationship and how things will come along but the problem is Alaska's boyfriend. Pudge seems a very nice guy but Alaska is a little rebel with authorities and rules so it would be interesting the kind of problems and adventures they would go through as a couple. I want to read more about the Colonel's back story too.
