Reading Response
I haven't gotten that far in the book, but in Looking For Alaska, by John Green, the main character is Miles Halter. It starts with Miles going to boarding school and saying goodbye to his parents. He then meets his roommate, Chip Martin. He meets Chip right after he exits the shower, with just a towel.
Chip starts to make himself comfortable with Miles and then they go to Alaska's room to get some cigarettes. [14] I haven't read anymore than that. From what I have read, and from what the title is, I'm guessing Alaska will show up in the book more than once. Looking for Alaska can mean many things, either she was kidnapped, she was killed, she was lost, or she was spiritually lost, as in she's not the same person she used to be, or she lost her memory.
What I think will happen in the story is that Alaska will get kidnapped. Miles and Chip would most likely go find her, since on page 13 she's the one chip goes to buy cigarettes. On page 14-15, Alaska tells chip a story about how she got honked. She also said she was thinking about how she's gonna "tell Takumi and the Colonel [Chip]" [15] which makes her and Chip seem really close.
Kimberly i really liked your response even though you didn't finish the book, i liked how you had many predictions, and details. nice work
ReplyDeleteDear Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI also wrote a post about Looking For Alaska. I like you prediction and yes Alaska will show up more often in the book. Alaska, Takumi, and The Colonel are really close and they always hang out and when Miles came along, they allowed him access to their group. Alaska and the Colonel usually smoke together in their hideout away from the eagle and they seem to really like Miles.
I really like your reading response. I think that your prediction is very good. The fact that the title is looking for Alaska does symbolize that something is going to happen to her and someone is going to find her.
