Looking For Alaska by John Green is very relatable and
modern. I have made many connections as I have been reading.
Text to Self:
Miles, the main
character has just started a new private boarding school. Immediately he makes
a group of friends even being is awkward quite self. I can relate to this because whenever I go
somewhere new or try something new I always meet nice people and become friends
with them.
Text to text:
Alaska is a fun loving, outgoing, rule breaking, and a mysterious
girl. She reminds me of the character Layla in The Jade Notebook. Layla is
wild, free and never follows any rules. She is fun and also exciting. The two characters
are very similar in their actions and words.
Text to world:
Looking For Alaska reminds me of the real
world because there are many people like Alaska who have had a hard life but
still manage to be happy.. Even if her decisions are not always smart. It also
reminds me of the real world because people make bad choices based on the
situation. Alaska makes a large amount of mistakes in the book.
Overall I am enjoying this book A LOT. The plot is just
starting to get interesting and hit the climax. I recommend reading this book
if you want to be able to strong relate.
