Thanksgiving

     Thanksgiving is approaching and most of the people in the campus will go to vacation usually to their families. Alaska, Pudge and The Colonel are deciding to go home or stay in campus for vacations. Alaska wants to stay on campus but she doesn't want to stay alone so she wants to convince Pudge and Th e Colonel to stay with her but both want to go home when there are 3 days left to decide ti go or stay The Colonel's final decision is to go home to his mother but Pudge is still thinking to stay with Alaska.I think Pudge had a hard time deciding because off course he wanted to go home but he knew that it would be boring and also he has feeling for Alaska and he wanted to spend some time with her. Finally he decides to stay with Alaska and spend Thanksgiving with her. When every one left there were just 3 people left on campus Alaska,Pudge and Mr. Starnes also called The Eagle. He makes sure rules are followed like no drinking, no smoking and not skipping class. Most people are afraid of The Eagle but Alaska and The Colonel love to make him mad.

WHEN PUDGE DECIDED TO STAY WITH ALASKA.









     "I'm just scared of ghosts, Pudge. And home is full of them" (Green,80)
    This is what Alaska answer Pudge when he asked her why she wouldn't go home for vacation and I think the quote is kinda sad because by ghosts she probably refers to problems and its sad that she has so much problems at home she won't even go there for Thanksgiving and apparently the book says she has always stayed at campus for the holiday.

"But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating" (Green,89)
    The quote is from the time they were already alone on campus and he didn't know what to do and in the quote we can see how Pudge thinks of himself and of Alaska. He clearly thinks he is not good enough for her because he is boring an d because she has a boyfriend.

  The story is getting so good its really interesting and you just want to read more and know what will happen. The book is reminding me of Paper Towns in the relationship of Pudge and Alaska and Quentin and Margo because Alaska and Margo are so alike in so many ways as Pudge is very similar to Quentin. Q and Pudge both talked about the girls in the book like they were the greatest and they put themselves lower so that made a strong connection. I don't know what to think about Pudge and Alaska in the future because if Pudge never says something Alaska is never gonna know how Pudge feels and maybe she feels the same but she haven't told him which I doubt since there are no signs of that and she has a boyfriend but i really want them to be a thing.
