When a, "un-cool" "not popular" junior in Florida moved to a boarding school in Alabama called Culver Creek, his whole world changes for him. Miles went from being a boring child, without many friends, to finding some really close friends he hangs out with a lot. Not many people at the camp go by their real names, Miles roommates nickname is Colonel, who gives him the name Pudge. The boarding school Pudge attends now is where his father went at a child and was a very good student there, this sets high expectations for him. However these expectations don't matter much when he meets Alaska, who he now smokes and gets kicked out of class with.
Question 3, book structure?
The book "Looking for Alaska" is written sort of like a journal in first person by Pudge. Every dad at the top of the section he says "# days before" and the number changes occasionally skipping some days. This is an interesting way to write a story because it leaves you thinking and wondering "that number of days" before what?
Question 4, main ideas?
John Green talks about a main topic of smoking a lot in this book. Smoking is not permitted to the students at the boarding school, making it more thrilling to the kids. John also incorporates the title of the book almost threw every page I think. It starts a section with "# days before" and the title is "Looking for Alaska" so i think it is number of days before either something happens to Alaska or she runs away.
