Madelyn Cheer’s Reviews > Looking for Alaska > Status Update

I choose this book because I heard from my friend, that it was and interesting book, and she enjoyed reading it. Although I did not have the book I found that one of the teachers had the book. I did have to think id this the book I want to read? Because I wanted to know more about the book I decided to read the back, and I thought the book would be good for me.

My setting is very important, because you have to br able to picture the scenes, the mystery, the action, without setting it would be picturing black, and white screens in different shades.

I would changed my main character (Miles), because if he Miles wouldn't of meet his friends, he could be a good student who gets all As. Miles should be a kid who has to meet people like his friends now, and deiced who he should stick with, and bring a better person to him.

In my book I predicted that Miles will kiss Lara or the other way around. I think this because it was talking about them being in sleeping bags and there hands were together, and they were both really close to each other. When I read on my prediction was right they ended up kissing.

Looking for Alaska, is based in a boarding school, in these contemporary days. If this bordering school was built 50 years old, there would be know way the teachers would let you off the hook.You wouldn't be able to smoke, say swears, and do the things we to today in boarding schools. Also in you may find that today teachers do the same as public schools.

When I read I find myself looking over them in a birds eye, or actually being there. Sometimes, but rarely I put myself in my characters position. I feel better being there, because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

I would play girl who is good, meaning not drinking, and smoking. I would want to be the good one.

Well, Miles is trying to figure out is he can trust Alaska. Latley Alaska's been rating out people, and with miles smoking and that he doesn't know if he should hang out with him. I feel he's just going to stick along and see what happens to see if he should trust her. It's a mystery that I'm left hanging.

The story moved forward, by getting the friends together, and bonding. The author adds a lot more people because I think with all the attitude, and actions, it will be cool to see how all these people might come together, to help solve a mystery.

I have not been able to find my theme, because i'm only 50 pages in my book. However I do have ideas, such as If a friend needs help always help, and find the right person to make the journey.
