The reason I choose this book is because John Green has written
several books that were highly recommended to me. Looking For Alaska is
about highschoolars finding out who their friends are and who they can and can’t
trust, kinda like how we are now. When the friends find out that Alaska died in
a car accident it leaves them all asking questions of why and what they could
have done to stop her. That what I do when me and my friends do something we
probably shouldn't be doing and we get caught and all you can do is think why
you did it and what you could have done to stop it. I recommend this book to
all young adults it helped me realize that you can never take life for granted
cause you can be gone in a blink of an eye. Also it made me realize that you
think you know someone, but you really don’t know what’s going on behind the
scenes with their family and their life.

Summer Assignment Part 2 Part 1
The area of the book where I got hooked to was where the
regulars plotted a plan to get back at the weekday warriors for kidnapping
Pudge and duck taping him and throwing him into the water. They constructed a
plan for pranking the weekday warriors. They had itineraries, with exact times,
synchronized watches, and their clothes were black. They met in a barn with all
their gear along with 5 bottles of Strawberry Hill alcohol, they split up to go
to their destinations. One group lit fire works, they were the distraction for
the eagle, another group snuck into the eagle’s house to break into the computer
to send progress reports to the weekday warriors. Miles also went into the
weekdays warriors’ rooms and replaced their hair gel and conditioner with an
industrial strength blue hair dye. When I was reading this part I immediately
thought of Big Fat Lire, because the guy in the movie whole body turned
blue. They met back at the barn to drink the Strawberry Hill and talk about their best and worse days of
their lives.

Looking For Alaska Part 2
Miles is a skinny kid from Florida who decided to go to
Culver Creek mostly because he had no friends in Florida and he wanted to
follow in his father’s footsteps. He liked to remember the last words for
famous authors and poets… I’ve never met someone that likes that. Chip had a
deep voice and he liked to memorize country populations…That I have never herd before.
He is from New Hope, Alabama he is attending Culver Creek on a scholarship his
parents are divorced. He is best friends with Miles and they are roommates.
Alaska is from Vine Station, Alabama, she was petite, curvy, had blond hair and
green eyes. Alaska’s room consists of GIGANTIC stacks of books everywhere. She
was the supplier of cigarettes and alcohol at Culver Creek. She is attending Culver
Creek on a scholarship, like Chip. Her mother passed away when she was young.
Alaska is also likes to plan pranks on other students, but mostly the weekday
warriors. She has a boy friend named Jake. Alaska is looking for the meaning of
labyrinth… I don’t understand why. Chip and Alaska explain to Miles the ins and
out of Culver Creek, they have nicknames for everyone and they got each other’s
backs.
Looking For Alaska Part 1
The three main characters in my book are Miles, Chip, and
Alaska. Miles and Chip both have nicknames, Miles is known as Pudge and Chip is
known as the Colonel. The reason they call Miles Pudge is because he’s skinny…doesn’t
make sense, it was given to him by Chip. The 3 friends met at a Boarding School in Alabama called Culver Creek. Miles’ father
attended and he liked the idea of Miles following in his footsteps. Culver
Creek is 15 miles south of Birmingham, Alabama its hot sunny and humid. The Dorm
room was a box with cinder block walls coated with layers of white paint ,green
and white checkered linoleum floor, a bunk bed, a desk, a dresser, and book
shelves that were attached to the walls
and not to mention no air conditioning. This would be a terrible place to live.
The campus had 6 one story buildings arranged in a hexagram around a large
circle of grass. The conflict that the 3 friends had was trusting each other. There
are 2 groups of people that attend the Boarding school, the regular boarders
who stay they there everyday except holidays and summers, and the weekday warriors
who are all the rich kids who go back to their mansions in Birmingham every
weekend… those are the cool kids, and the regulars don’t like them this is
another conflict in the book.

I want to read something else
Yeah so I really can't keep up with my book. I mean it's still a really good book, I just don't have a lot of time to read it and its getting pretty boring. So you know what that means! Give me some new book recommendations please. I would like something fiction about sports or anything weird! Big thanks you the recommendations guys!
The Football season is over :'( it was a great season... before the Super Bowl. Wow that wasn't even a game from the start. Denver did not show up at all, and Seattle came ready to whoop on them. I would like to point out the karma Richard Sherman got when he hurt his ankle. It was still a great season for Payton Manning he just didn't get a lot of help from his defense or his line. Any way leave me some of your favorite memories from this season!
