Predictions- Looking for Alaska

Earlier in the week I started reading Looking for Alaska by John Green. I decided to read this book because The Fault in Our Stars, also by John Green, is my favorite book. Since I liked that book so much, I wanted to see what his other writing is like. So far, I have really enjoyed this book. Green made the characters relatable and likeable, and the storyline is very interesting.

In the beginning of the book, you are introduced to the main character, Miles, and learn that he has decided to go to Culver Creek so he can find his "Great Perhaps" (5). Not long later, you are introduced to Alaska, a girl on campus who doesn't exactly fit in with the norm. As they become friends, you are able to learn a lot about her character through the little things she says. I predict that by spending time with Alaska, Miles will be able to discover what his Great Perhaps is. I think that by learning about her, he will learn things about her that helps him make realizations about himself.

Also, based off of the title "Looking for Alaska", I predict that something will happen to Alaska. Along with the title saying that someone is looking for her, the book is divided into two sections, "Before" and "After", which may mean before and after something happens to her. I'm not positive what will happen to her, but from some of the things she has said, it may have something to do with the things that have happened in the past. On page 80, she said "'I'm just scared of ghosts, Pudge. And home is full of them.'" These two quotes show that bad things have happened to her in the past, and that she is scared to go back to where they happened.

I'm excited to see what happens next!
