Looking for Alaska Connections


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.
